ACCOUNTING SOCIETY The USDAccounting Society has a mem– bership population of over 100 individuals comprised ofmajors and non-majors alike. Since the club's activities and events are both social and professional, it has much to offer students.

According to president Chris Juracka, the club's purpose is threefold: "1) to bring together students interested in the ac– counting profession, 2) to bring members together with accounting professionals, and 3) to prepare members for the job market." The Accounting Society meets every other Thursday to discuss issues that range from ethics to the latest computer technology. It is at these Technical Meet– ings that accounting students acquire much of their information about their chosen career and meet many professionals. The opportunity to interact with other accoun– tants may well be the club's greatest con– tribution. Members are encouraged to make contacts and form friendships that may feasibly aid in future job searches. OCEANS CLUB The Oceans Club ofUSD, although relatively new, has quite a following. The Oceans Club, according to President Chris Parta, is "not just a dive club, but rather a forum for divers to meet... ". The members of the club are not exclusively Ocean Studies majors, nor are they just divers. This organization focuses on ocean environmental awareness and promotes its participants to join in on beach clean-ups and educa– tional trips to the Scripps Marine Museum as well as the weekly snorkeling and/or diving trips. When possible, the Oceans Club invites Bert Kobayashi from the Scripps Institute to speak here at USD, this year the lecture focused on the Amber Forest (Kelp forest).
