Eisenman, com munication director, "mad as hell" about the situation. Eisenman said the printing company, University Directories, of Chapel Hill, N.C. was in contact with him last week and offered "a whole bunch of excuses" for the delay including the paper shortage and malfunctions with some data processing equipment. Eisenman said he was going to Chapel Hill today to "Take a look at their side'of the story and see if there's anything we can do about it." USC is in the process of looking for alternatives such as having the directories printed locally and bringing legal action against University Directories, Eisenman said. Eisenman said he was "catching all kinds of hell" because the directories have not arrived on campus yet. "But it is not really our fault. We have given the company all the information they needed to get them out in time 'Group Piano Offered As M A one-day seminar in Con temporary Group l'iano, a new approach to piano lessons and schoolroom music, will be Nov. 30 at USC.

He said he has no idea when and if the 15,000 directories would arrive, but said he should know more on returning from Chapel Hill. This time last year the directories had been on campus for almost three weeks. The initial delay of the direc tories was. caused by a com bination of factors, Eisenman said. Foremost was the confusion of working with a step printer. He thought these difficulties had been overcome and expected the directories shortly, before being informed of additional problems. In the past the directories have been - printed by Plains Publications of Lubbock, , Tex. Eisenman said the principal reason for changing printers was that University Directories was closer to Columbia facilitating business transactions. Eisenman said he was promised by University Directories delivery 30 calender days after delivery of the information .contained within them. This information was sup plied quite a few more than 30 days ago. Approach usic Short will be offered without charge.

Fitzgerald said prices at the store would be "somewhere bet ween those of a supermarket and a convenience store." Although scheduled for com pletion by the fall semester, the store was prevented from opening due to a "heavy workload in maintenance, The store took a lower priority then any of our academic schedules," said Fit 1141 prjc,sic otoftepr ticipant weecleefmls C arko said. proet ofithe baimposs of ther (Center is to take the benerai~per sonal cxperiences of a woman and show that the political implications an,d unity of exposure happen'to all w~omen and is not an individual Ihing," Clarkson said.
