BTW Space Utilization Space utilization by USC of the former Booker T. Washington High School complex has been deter mined by the USC Facilities and Grounds Committee. Plans, announced April 28 by the University, call for USC's newly established School of Medicine and the pre-school education programs of USC, among other academic programs, to be housed in three buildings on the former high school site. The oldest building in the complex, the structure built in 1916 and facing on Marion. Street, will be torn down later this spring. A University spokesman said USC's engineering analysis of the main original building concurred with an earlier decision by Richland School District One that the cost of renovating that structure was prohibitive. The School of Medicine will be housed in the former physical education building, erected in 1938 and added to in 1960, which fronts on Blossom Street. The gym nasium floor will continue to be used as an annex to USC's physical education facility in the next block while the locker rooms and other areas of the building will be renovated as a temporary home for the medical school. The cafeteria building, built in 1955, will allow for centralization and relocation of the pre-school education programs of the College of General Studies and the College of Education. The auditorium and general arts building, erected in 1956, has been in use for several months as headquarters for the USC Department of Theatre and Speech. The building also houses the University's central mail receiving and distribution facility. The three buildings remaining on the former high school site by action of the USC Board of Trustees will be known collectively as Booker T. Washington Cente. OLD NEWS F I THAT GAMECOCK.

Greeks Raise $4,560 Social fraternities and sororities at USC have raised $4,560 to help support the local "Brothers and Sisters" volunteer program. The money was raised during an all-day fund drive in Columbia April 17 sponsored by the USC groups as part of Greek Week activities at the University. Organized in Columbia nine years ago, "Brothers and Sisters" matches volunteer workers with a "little brother or sister" from a low-income family. In addition to the one-to-one volunteer-child relationships, the program has recently expanded to offer special groups for the children such as a drama workshop, cooking and sewing classes, Bible study, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and dancing and piano classes.
