FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY MIRROR Volume 23 Number 18 The Only Paper in the Country Doing It This Way Clinton hiring FU ladies as White House interns Dee Cupp StaffWriter Attention ladies of Fairfield, the career planning center announces the opportu-nity of a lifetime. This Friday, April 3 from 4-7 P.M. White House officials will be in the Oak Room interviewing for in-ternships. These high profile internships will enable four lucky Fairfield women the chance to work one on one with the President himself, Bill Clinton. Chief White House official, Dick McFeely reports that the President is looking for "a few good women to work up close and personal with him on a daily basis concerning press-ing projects which may extend into the evening hours." McFeely also said that the in-terns will be constantly chal-lenged by the President himself with the hopes that at the photo: Mirror archives Clinton is searching for a new intern- can you be the one? completion of the internship one women will have the honor of sitting on his staff. When asked what the main criteria would be for the four selected, McFeely said that the President is looking for young women "who are very open, like to be challenged, can work responsively under the President, and can measure up to her predecessors." Dear Mr. Dalton, I amjust writing to thank you for offering me the experience of a lifetime. My prior internship at the White House was a dream come true, working under the President was challenging but always in-teresting. Something was always coming up, he kept me busy all of the time. In addition I was able to develop talents that I never knew I possessed. The support and encouragement the President offered me penetrated me deeply- it was the most touching ex-perience I have ever had the pleasure of encounter-ing. I can with all sincerity urge your current stu-dents to become White House internship candidates. You may be discouraged because you don't feel you will measure up to past interns, but have no fear be-cause the Democratic nature of Mr: Clinton allows him to be open to woman of all shapes and sizes- his tastes are truly nondiscriminate. I invite you to take this opportunity with all assurance that the Presi-dent will welcome you onto his staff with open arms. Mr. Dalton, I feel that I owe this experience all to you and the Career Planning Center, thank you again. My sincere best wishes to all intern candidates!

Givemee Contributing Writer In a huge setback, Fairfield University lost 1998's March Madness for the NCAA Hunger Clean-up's top prize. It was very disconcerting Jesu-its worldwide that all these rich students could not raise more money. Despite the advertised minimum fee for participation being a mere $5, that was only a suggestion. Unfortunately, too many volunteers took Cam-pus Ministry at its word and thus we are losers for '98. University officials are shaken so much, efforts are being made to increase the motivation to participate in this day of "service." They tried giving out "free" tee-shirts to those who paid enough. Then, to encourage higher fund-rais-ing, prizes were given to the highest raising efforts. It seemed a sure formula: the more money you submit, the more stuff you get. Now, they are considering granting three credits and fulfillment of the di-versity requirement in order to gain the trophy again in 1999. They are also considering a more Jesuit-like theme for 1999: "Pay to volunteer and Get Stuff." I guess the day was not a total loss, however. Some valuable work was done in neighboring towns. Because of Fairfield students' efforts, an exclusive boys club has new wind screens around their ten-nis courts. Another such club has a brand new fence for the Lacrosse field.
