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

"I believe I can make things run
smoother and make student
government run as a team,"
O'Boyle said. 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."

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

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

could be seen all across campus
Thursday. "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." ~
