"Hey c'mon, pass it to me. Smooth Registration For 2nd Session BY JOHN SHARKEY of The Gamecock staff It was a smooth registration for the 7,280 students attending the second summer session on the Columbia campus. The figure for the main campus includes 668 students who registered late. Dr. Nicholas P. Mitchell, vice president for administrative services, said enrollment for this session is higher than usual for the second summer session. He said the second summer session is always the lightest. Registration for both summer sessions was open until eight p.m. However, during first summer session registration, some depart ments left their tables before closing time and this caused some confusion. Enrollment totals from the regional campuses are due Friday. Accredited career trair of public health is now a USC campus.

The median would be landscaped and the fence would be similar to the one on Pickens Street, ac cording to Brunton. "An iron rail running down the middle of the median would be needed to keep up the landscaped area," Trustee Michael J. Mungo said. Hill later agreed. "It would be only about three feet high and that wouldn't be too bad," he said. Hill objected to a related plan for Green Street which would allow persons parking in lots between the Horseshoe and Green Street to exit at the Russell House crosswalk. The Horseshoe will be closed in the next few weeks to brick the road through it. Both the entrance and the exit on the Horseshoe to the parking lots will be closed ac cording to the plan. The entrance to the lots will be behind the Coker Life Science building. Although the Horseshoe will be reopened after work is completed, the entrance and exit to the lots from it will not be reopened, according to the plan. The decision as to whether the exit in froitt of Russell House will remain open or not at that time is still being considered, Brunton said. "The possibility of having both the entrance and exit behind the Life Science Building if there is enough room will be studied," he said. Hill said, "Thaft exit at the pedestrian crosswalk has to go. I think we can persuade the ad ministration to do that. They could have the entrance behind the Coker Life Science building and the exit still on the Horseshoe. I don't see why that wouldn't work."
