"Poverty is a section I teach in
my sociology class," Osborne said.
"By having an annual project it is
dealt with on a first hand experience
basis."
"Dora has no running water, no
bathroom facilities, and snh.
standard electricity. We're going
to change all that."
"IT AIN'T nothing I ain't been
asking for, I just didn't know how it
was coming," Dora said. "It's an
answer to prayers."

the rebuilding of Dora's
home.
The crews installed new windows,
new doors, a new front
porch, cement steps, carpeting, a
white picket fence, underpinning
for the house, and weatherized
paneling for the outside. They
painted the house both inside and
out, shored up the house to prevent
sagging, and removed hazardous
junk from around the house.
Dora's woodburning stove was also
fixed.
THE CITY OF Cayce will begin
putting in water and bathroom
facilities and fixing her electricity
this week, according to Osborne.
"Dora, who has lived here for 32
years, is a very giving person,"
Osborne said, "She never expected
anything in return. Now i?

"Four major organizations are

upon its completion, planned for
February 1979.
THE PROJECT, funded by the .
Veterans Administration, includes I
a 412-bed facility and a new
medical library made accessible to
hospital personnel as well as
medical students by an enclosed 1
breezeway between the two
buildings.
The new library will have a
drive-in feature. According to chief
medical librarian Tom Lange Jr.,
"You can phone ahead and pick up
a book without getting out of your
car." The idea provides convenience
in inclement weather and
is easily accessible to handicanned
students.
The medical library is now
housed on the third floor of Petigru
where the old law library was i
located. It has a shelf capacity of
40,000 volumes including ap- ;
proximately 1,000 journals.
"THE NEW library will have a
75,000 volume capacity on the first '
two floors," Lange said. He added i
