Housing Fee CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “When they pay the $100, it is taken away from the money they pay to live on campus in the fall,” Koehler said. “It is not additional.” Koehler said one reason for the fee was to discourage students who didn’t intend to live on-cam pus from signing up “just to see what they can get.” The $100 fee is refundable only to students who cancel their sign-up requests be fore receiving their assignments. Residence Hall Association President Brad Dawgert agreed with Koehler that the $25 fee in crease was necessary. “We’ve seen what the technol ogy development costs are for the Web application process, and it’s amazing,” Dawgert said. “This fee was well thought out, and it’s nec essary because Housing not only supports itself, but other areas of the university, too.” Though only freshmen who ap ply by June 1 are guaranteed on campus housing, all students who have applied by that time should receive word on their assignments “I wish they would have mailed me something, ' or put an announcement on Channel 8.1 never saw anything.” MARIA SWINTON FOURTH-YEAR SOCIOLOGY STUDENT by June 15. Swinton said she never received any notice of the fee change. “I wish they would have mailed me something, or put an an nouncement on Channel 8.1 nev er saw anything.” Swinton said she also dis agreed with the online payment time limit. Students signing up for housing were allowed to pay on line only between March 25 and March 31. They can now make payments in person at the Housing office at 1215 Blossom St. “A hundred and twenty-five dol-' lars is a lot of money for college students to come up with, espe cially with no advance notice,” Swinton said.

The ranking is a testament to the caliber of our students and re flects the faculty’s innovative teaching, productive research and scholarship, as well as their commitment to one of the na tion’s finest international busi ness programs.” Thunderbird Graduate School of Arizona was ranked first over all for international business. The other public universities ranked are the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor (No. 6), UCLA (No. 9) and the University of California at Berkeley (No. 10.) In January, the Financial Times of London ranked USC’s MBA pro grams 38th among the world’s top 100 business schools, up from 45th in 2001. The Moore School of Business will launch its International Master of Business Administration program in May. The program will offer stu dents three study options: a for eign language track, which trains students in another country’s lan guage and culture; a program in which students study abroad at USC’s partner school, Vienna University in Austria; and a six month internship abroad pro gram in an English-speaking country. U.S. News rankings are based on objective measures that in clude entering students’ test scores and placement success, as well as reputation ratings drawn from inside and outside acade mia. For the international busi ness ranking, U.S. News asked * business school deans and pro gram heads to vote for up to 10 schools offering the best pro grams in each area. The 10 schools receiving the most votes appear in the ranking. USC also offers an internation al business specialization for un dergraduates. Fourth-year student Ryan Stilling said USC’s strong inter national business program was one reason she chose to come here from Chicago. She said she thinks her international business train ing has given her solid career preparation, even if she never works outside of the United States. m “I’ve learned a lot about how” the way we do business in America is shaping how the world does it, too,” Stilling said. “But I’ve also learned how to become more open-minded to how to understand different ways of thinking than my own.” Comments on this story?

There will also be a banner con test sponsored by Garnet Circle Student Alumni Council to pro mote the spirit of unity in student organizations. Student organiza tions will design banners illus trating their ideal view of campus unity and hang them Monday on Greene Street. Monday will be Clean Carolina Day, a day geared at getting stu dents interested in the campus Clean Carolina program, Elser said. Clean Carolina designates in dividual student organizations a section of campus to keep free of litter and debris. “Some organizations do it more often than others,” Elser said. “All of our events are meant to promote an environment where students and faculty members can come ® together and meet people they don’t know or just celebrate being Carolinians together.” TIFFANY ELSER EVENT ORGANIZER “Clean Carolina Day is meant to jump-start the program and get students motivated to take part in the program together and as an entire student body.” The American Red Cross Bloodmobile, with a complete staff of registered nurses, will be on Greene Street on Monday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. After the blood dri ve, the Russell House patio will® play host to a Serv-a-thon, a free buffet at 4 p.m. for students who bring at least one can of food for the local Harvest Hope Food Bank. Elser said one of the goals for Carolina Unity Week is to get more faculty involved in the en tire week’s programs. She said fac ulty integration with student ac tivities would promote more unity among the university population.
