Dme BY MARION ELLIOTT Of The Gamecock staff A space shortage has forced the University to house the new medical school next fall in facilities previously used by a volunteer group eligible for a $300,000 federal grant, Provost Keith Davis said Friday. Parts of the medical school will be placed in the Booker T. Washington facility in the Wheeler Hill community. A volunteer group including some 200 USC students has used the building the past two years for their Wheeler Hill Activities Project (WHAP). The project has provided supervised ac tivities for disadvantaged youths in that black cominunity. Recently, the group learned it may receive a $300,000 federal grant for the coming year. However, construction on the med school's facilities which started last week has left the project without facilities. "We pretty much have the grant unless we don't have a facility," Jeff Wallace, co director of the project, said. "In that case we'd probably lose it and that would mean there's close to 200 University students who won't have a place to operate from," he said. Robert Alexander, dean of Student Activities, who originally secured the use of Booker T. for the project said, "We put in a request for this summer and hadn't been told either way. We assumed we would get it. It surprised both Jeff and me when we found out differently." When the University's plans for the facilities surfaced, the group was told renovation would not begin until June 1, according to Wallace. That left the group time to change the administration's mind. However, Wallace met a demolition crew tearing things down at the building Wednesday, he said. University Provost Keith Davis said, "We had to give priority to the med school. People are coming here in the fall with equipment worth millions of dollars and we must have room for them." Plans for the school were developed faster than ex pected, he said. The University tried to get the old Columbia Hospital and the Continued on Page 3 Last issue for spring This is the last edition of The Gamecock for this semester The Gamecock will resume publication June 5.
