The fair is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Whitten University Center. "Of the 92 companies, none of them are employment agencies," Swol said. "These companies are trying to locate sharp students for substantial career positions." Assistant Director of Career Planning and Placement Connie Downey said she advises students to look over the list of companies participating before going to the Career Fair. Students should pick the companies they are interested in. Companies at the Career Fair aren't all just looking for students majoring in accounting or business, said Downey. "My perception is that the trend we're seeing is towards arts and sciences majors *— not that somebody won't be interested in a student majoring in business, but companies are more open as to whom they will consider," Downey said. "1 know recruiters like to use these events to identify students they'd like to see on their schedules," Downey said. The event is targeted at graduating seniors, but all students are welcome to attend, said Downey. "It's still a good event if you're a sophomore or a junior," Downey said. "You can learn about internship programs and get a lot of information." _ , . Downey said the Career Fair is a good time for students to find out what employers are looking for. "We recommend that students come with resumes and in professional dress," Downey said. Students should bring resumes to leave with company representatives. Swol said AT&T, Barnett Bank, The Miami Herald and Motorola are some of the companies who will be recruiting UM students. On-campus recruitment continues throughout the year and Swol said students should sign up in advance. "It's very difficult to track how many students get jobs," Downey said. "We do ask people to check in, but we don't know who exactly they talk to. They may talk to nobody or to all the companies. It's very difficult to determine." ■ FAB FRESHMAN: FSU freshman tailback Warrick Dunn (28) Saturday against Miami. He finished the game with 70 yards. Costa, Collins battle for starting spot By JASON MOLINET Sports Edilor Dennis Erickson will try to pick up the pieces of the University of Miami's football season this week in the wake of Saturday's 28-10 loss to No. 1 Florida State University at Tallahassee, Fla. The Hurricanes (4-1) fell to No. 8 in the latest Associated Press writers' poll and are No. 9 in the USA Today/CNN coaches' poll. They were ranked third in both polls entering the FSU tilt. The UM coach's first priority will be determining who will be the Hurricanes new quarterback. The Frank Costa Era may be short-lived. Erickson said Sunday at the Hecht Athletic Center that he will give sophomore Ryan Collins a shot at winning the job. "He didn't play badly," Erickson defended Costa. "That's not the reason we're giving Ryan an opportunity. All I'm telling you is that we are going to take a look at him. We think that he deserves a chance to be looked at." The two quarterbacks will share repetitions in practice this week and next in preparation for the Oct. 23 game against No. 24 Syracuse University in the Orange Bowl. Erickson said a decision will be made sometime next week. The quarterback question was prompted by criticism of the struggling offense last week against Georgia Southern University and then its inability to score against FSU. At Doak S. Campbell Stadium, the Miami offense managed just 10 points despite amassing 320 yards. What killed the Hurricanes, however, were two key turnovers — one a Costa interception returned by Devin Bush for a 40-yard touchdown that effectively killed any hopes of a UM rally with 4:59 to go in the game. Reevaluating will start with Costa. For more game coverage, see Scorecard. PRESTON MACK/Staff Photographer breaks loose from UM cornerback Dexter Seigler (34) on one of his six carries PRESTON MACK/Statt Photographer ■ CANES GO CRAZY: Vicki Ciasulli, Grace Torres, Heather Thompson and Holly Fontana cheer on the Miami football team Saturday in Tallahassee. Hundreds of Hurricane fans made the trip to the UM-FSU game. Students road trip to Tallahassee By CRISTINA I. PRAVIA Hurricane Staff Writer Hours before kickoff, 200 University of Miami students were psyched about the game. Some Cane fans traveled by bus to Tallahassee, where the Miami-Florida State rivalry would be played out in Doak S. Campbell Stadium. The bus trip was sponsored by Student Government. The trip let students share the ride with others, preventing them from worrying about how to get there and where to stay and whether they were going to arrive safely in Tallahassee. There were five student buses - four of undergraduates and one of law students. The undergraduates stayed at either the Collegiate Village Inn or Knights Inn, both in Tallahassee. The law students stayed in Panama City, "This year I had a better time |than 2 years ago) because I came with a bigger group of friends," See page 21 FANS Honors Medical Program allows 'baby doctors' to graduate in six years By CRISTINA I. PRAVIA Hurricane Staff Writer At the age of 22 or 23, most students will have just graduated college and entered graduate school or the work force. This is not the case with Leslie Eldeiry, 18. At age 23, she will be a doctor. "The idea that I'll be graduating [from medical school 1 at the age of 23 is surprising," Eldeiry said. "I will be slightly younger than most people in that position and I will have to take more responsibilities at a younger age." Eldeiry, a freshman at the University of Miami, is a student in the Honors Program in Medicine (HPM). The program allows outstanding students who are planning careers in medicine a chance to graduate with a bachelor's of Science degree and a Doctor of Medicine degree in six years instead of the usual eight. HPM is coordinated by the College of Arts and Sciences and the University of Miami School of Medicine. Some students said they were attracted by the many advantages that HPM offers. These students came to Miami even though they were accepted at Ivy League schools. "The academic and clinical reputation of the med school was the deciding factor in my decision," said Freshman Carlos Bustamante. "Basically,! got in early," said first-year medical student Ali Faheeh, 21. "It takes a lot of pressure off and you don't have to put up with the application process." Students that are accepted into the program are guaranteed a place in the UM medical school. They can enter the School of Medicine after completing 90 credits of course work. After one year at the medical school, students officially graduate from the undergraduate program. "They are younger, but once in medical school there is very little difference academically between HPMs and students that come in through the regular route," said Dr. Robert HinUey, associate dean of Admissions at the School of Medicine. Graduating high school seniors may apply to the program if they are Florida residents and have an outstanding academic record. This past school year, approximately 200 students applied. Only 30 were invited to the program. "You are able to achieve your goal of becoming a doctor much faster," said freshman Suketu Mansuria, 17. "You're guaranteed admission into the medical school and it gives you flexibility in classes and grades. I feel honored [to be part of the program], but 1 also feel like a regular college student." While in the program, students must maintain a 3.4 GPA. They must take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) for scholarship purposes, but the results will not determine if the student is allowed to continue in the program. "It's great that you have early acceptance," said Lucia Sobrin, 17. "There is no pressure hovering over you. It makes undergraduate pre-med easier. It's a good medical school and a good hospital |which) is expanding with a new cancer and trauma center."
