Special 01 By JOSE DUVALL C4off uHiiivvvvn utaii IT 11ICI The Special Olympics, a day of sporting events for mentally retarded individuals, will be held April 14 at Weems-Baskins track behind the Roost. Jim Tester, the state coordinator of Special Olympics, said the program will include sports training and competition for the mentally retarded ranging in age from eight to 68. He added that the standard I.Q. for participants in the Special Olympics is 75 or below. "THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS is a good way for some of the USC students to come out and see some people who are less fortunate than themselves," Tester said. "I know a lot of students have never been around handicapped people, and feel quite uneasy about being around them, but if they come out to this event, they will r]lC/>AirOl? fKdf U1UVU ?

O'Boyle attributed his success to "a great group of dedicated friends who relentlessly devoted their time to my campaign." DAVE BARRY, one of O'Boyle's numerous campaign managers, said, "O'Boyle first brought up the idea of running for president early last fall. When he brought the idea up, I could tell right then he was going to do it." O'Boyle's campaign workers z1 ympics set j CAMPUS INTEREST in the Olympics is outstanding, according to Tester. "It's an event that the university's student body really gets into. A lot of students ask in August when they come back to school, if USC will be involved with the Special Olympics again. We've been very fortunate with the turnout from USC. I think it is a permanent thing for USC to filA ^1" ? ? - ? ui/oL uiv opcvtcii wi^iupicb iierc in Columbia." Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity and the USC Voluntary Action Council are co-sponsoring the event this year. Ron Bouknight, vice president of the APO service fraternity, said about 700 volunteeers will be needed for this year's event, which includes an estimated 750 participants. "THE TWO MOST important of n our six major responsibilities," Bouknight said, "are recruiting volunteers, and publicizing the Special Olympics." Another task for APO, according to Bouknight. involves running a shuttle service B for volunteers. j| use of Pancakes Open 24 hours " T~>T $7?7' jj ahe$ Now only I i carryouts) $.39 III 3 blocks from campusj UE CASCADE ) glad you've got a boot a ?4 101(1.)

"This is a good example of what a lot of people can do with a little work and we hope this will encourage more people to get out and vote in future elections," said Joe Malloy, one of O'Boyle's campaign workers. O*Boyle believes there is a lack of communication between the students and student government about the appropriation of the students' activities fees. "Students don't understand where the money goes and I intend to work closely with the senate to alleviate this problem." or April 14 Volunteers who wish to help with the Special Olympics can sign up on the RH patio from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 20, 21, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and April 3. A rally will be held in the RH theater on April 3 at 3:30 p.m. to inform the volunteers of their precise duties and to clear up any questions concerning the event. "FOR A CAMPUS like USC, 750 participants can be handled if the meet is well organized," Tester said. "Some of the other places cannot come up with enough volunteers, so we have to keep the games smaller, but this is one of the big things USC students can do for us, and we get good resnonse from them." ~ FREE I DELIVERY W 254.8800 r???1?1??? 1 | A fl i kit i vvne I STUFFY' j Buy any si ! another one jt j (offer gooi I in S 629 Main St. ammond b 0'Boyle also believes his experience as a Woodrow Hall advisor has given him excellent preparation for working with the senate A MEMBER OF the naval ROTC, O'Boyle is a junior at USC.
