If there is a5 in column’s 1 and 2, thenthere can’t be a 5 anywhereelse in either of thosecolumns. You know then thatwhatever leftmost 3x3 boxthat is missing a 5 must haveit go in column 3.

Themost well known exampleof this psychological phenomenon is Shirley ArdellMason’s, “Sybil” case. Shewas actually diagnosed with16 different personalities.Whatever your major, thisholiday would be a perfectexcuse to set aside some timeto read up on the interestingaccounts of people who havebattled this complex mentaldisorder.Feeling stressed? Youprobably aren’t alone. College can be an insane time. Itcan feel like you are under amountain of constant pressure between trying to excelacademically, work a job andstill make time for family andfriends. If you’ve been feeling like the only thing thatwould help relieve your oceanof stress would be to standin a public place and shoutobscenities at those walkingby, just wait.

Onthis day, you officially havethe calendar’s permission.Calling all math enthusiasts, March 14 is NationalPi Day. It’s a day to celebratethe infinite number pi and tocelebrate mathematics as awhole. Because National PiDay falls on a Thursday, somestudents will probably haveto celebrate this day whetherthey want to or not becausethey will be attending aTuesday and Thursday mathclass. If you think that March14 is a relatively randomdate to celebrate the holiday,think again.

After the firstyear, Assistant Professor JennaBeck became the adviser.“Networking is a skill youneed to have to be a paralegal,it’s crucial [in order] to get a job,”Beck said. “So we do networkingand volunteer events.”The PSA collected 91 household items for a volunteer eventduring the last two weeks of fallsemester 2012.“The items were given tofamilies on Dec. 22, 2012 at theMcKinney Vento EducationProgram’s Holiday Celebration,”Beck said.Once a month, PSA also holdssocial events.“We hold what is called ‘off therecord’ one Saturday a month.It’s just where students go andtalk to each other,” Beck said.“This program is very rigorous,so they decompress and it’s achance for the students who havebeen in the program a while togive advice to the students whoare new.”According to Beck, duringclassroom hours, students arelearning how to do the assignments and not necessarily howto talk to other attorneys or paralegals. The PSA gives students achance to do that.Every year, an event calledParalegal Day is held to honorone paralegal and one law firm inthe community.“The PSA is always big in helping with that,” Beck said. “Theyget volunteers to staff and alwayshave a booth introducing themselves to the community.”On Feb. 27, the PSA is having anetworking event where stationswill be set up and each studentwill sit down with an attorney.During the sit down, the attorneywill provide feedback about whatthey can do to better themselves.“The attorney will give themfeedback,” Beck said. “Thingslike, ‘here is what you could workon with your handshake,’ ‘here’swhat you could work on witheye contact’ and ‘here is whatyou could work on in regards toprofessional dress.’”Beck said other stations areprovided during the event, suchas having an attorney reviewone's resume and practice interview questions.“[The Paralegal Program] isa really good start for studentswho are interested in law school,”Beck said. “They can transfer toa four-year school and they havealready had hands-on experience.”The PSA is holding a bake saleon March 27 in Building 14 forProfessor Deborah Badonsky,who is retiring after 35 years.“This bake sale is important toour department because DebbieBadonsky has been here for 35years and she is retiring,” Beckfound servicesFOUND continued from page 2Clarion archive photoPhoto contributed by Jenna BeckThe Paralegal Student Association gives Paralegal majors the chance tonetwork and build professional skills needed in the workforce.Photo contributed by Jenna BeckOn Feb. 27, the Paralegal Student Association is holding a networkingevent that will grant students the chance to sit down with an attorneywho will provide feedback about how they
