Targeting multiple elements with jQuery

Question

I have been searching but have come up blank and i\'m wondering if I can use one jQuery statement to target multiple elements on a page. I have several identical buttons on a pa

Currently the code looks like this:

$j(function (){  
    $j(".hoverBTN").hover( 
    function() {
        $j(this).addClass("hoveroverL");
        $j(this).addClass("hoveroverM");
        $j(this).addClass("hoveroverR");
    }, function() {
        $j(this).removeClass("hoveroverL");
        $j(this).removeClass("hoveroverM");
        $j(this).removeClass("hoveroverR");
    });

});   

Which works but on the wrong elements. It currently changes the button being hovered over but it adds 3 classes to the buttons wrapper not to the sub classes for Right Left And Middle: An example of the button is:
