Third-year biology student Carmen Rose said she sup ports the administration in its decision-making process. “I think we have to do what we have to do,” she said. “The money has to come from somewhere. I wouldn’t want for them to cut more classes because there is already enough problems with that.” Athletics More donations might be limited CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 here, both academically and that are expected to compete at the highest level in the SEC and in the country,” he said. With Tuesday’s 4 percent budget cut, Odom stressed the signifance of the extra funds. “This is very important, since a 4 percent cut for us is over $7 million,” he said. He said the department is en tering into financial hardship of its own that could restrict fu ture academics funding. McGee said: “We are now in the midst of building an arena. We are taking on a huge finan cial burden, not only to raise funds for its construction, but also to see if any annual short falls will be made up. That will affect the means as far as the future is concerned.” Clay Monts, a fifth-year ge ography student, said he thinks it’s fine if tuition has to be raised. USC’s “reputation is not that great now, but I think they should do whatever they’ve got to do to keep the academic standards,” he said. Ashlon Langley, a third year film studies student, said the tuition increase looks “un favorable.” “As a student, I certainly don’t want to pay any more,” Langley said. “I feel like the university is not handling it in a positive light, but I don’t know that I can blame them, ei ther.” Even with the university in financial crisis; Strategic Directive and Initiatives Committee member Leon Ginsberg isn’t worried. “I’ve been here 15 years, and this is the third major state university I’ve taught with,” he said. “I think it is the best one I’ve worked with. We want to be better, but on the other hand, we are quite a good university.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com. As part of its monetary trans fer, the Athletics Department agreed to pay full.out-of-state tu ition for its scholarship athletes. When out-of-state students get academic scholarships, they pay less than out-of-state tuition, but more than in state tuition. Students not from South Carolina don’t get this special rate when the Athletics Department pays their full out of-state tuition. “We asked them to do that,” . i Odom said. “The athletics di rector has a doctorate in edu cation, he appreciates acade mics, he understand academics and I have never had a prob lem with him concerning aca demic versus athletics.” Also included in the trans fer was $145,000-in annual sup port for the university band, plus $95,000 for the band’s trav el and lodging expenses from the 2001 Outback Bowl.

' ■ Anthrax Anthrax threat spreads to Midwest CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said preliminary tests for a Nguyen co worker at the Manhattan Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital who has a suspicious skin lesion were neg ative. Anthrax has killed four people and infected six others with the dangerous inhalation form of the disease. The CDC says six have been infected with the highly cur able skin form, while New York City health officials, who use a looser standard, have diagnosed another three with the skin in fection. Preliminary tests Wednesday found anthrax spores in a Kansas City, Mo., postal facility, extend ing the anthrax threat to the Midwest. More than 170 workers joined tens of thousands others on the East Coast who are taking antibiotics to ward off possible in fection. Anthrax was also found at a private postal maintenance center in Indianapolis on equip ment sent from a contaminated mail-processing center in Trenton, N.J. The positive test results in Kansas City came in two spots on one trash bag where envelopes were discarded. Officials suspect ed the source of the anthrax was mail that had passed through the contaminated Brentwood facility in Washington. The FDA said Thursday pre liminary tests found anthrax spores in mailrooms of four of its five Rockville, Md., buildings where mail is processed. While confirmatory tests are pending, the FDA closed all mailrooms for cleaning and put its mail han dlers on preventive antibiotics. THE GAMECOCK We’ve got USC covered. www. daily gamecock, com
