it I rffl-f rI I: rite i c Intro ductic !0n Monday, the greatest : single event in the history of it USC took place. It was I known as Drop/Add day and people came from all over the country to participate in the great contest of skill, fame and fortune. In fact, people lined up outside the Coliseum just to get in. The cost ? For those that live in South Carolina, it was about I $500 and over $1,000 for students in such places as Hackensack, New Jersey or Roanoke, Virginia. The whole process is one to be admired. Courses are added and dropped to a schedule just by signing your name and visiting practically everv Drofessor. I assistant and custodian in your given department. After that, you're free to scramble back to see if the courses you want are filled. If so, start from scratch, making sure that you get your textbooks before the bookstores close (which usually turns out to be five I minutes after they've closed.) Hey, don't despair! USC will take care of everything. They'll take the slips you've filled out for your addition and subtraction of academics and put them in a huge cage. Then they draw them out one by one in an elaborate ceremony, Movies ha\ from page 18 three will not make it to Cc reoruary. Distributors alwa> like that when they think thej material on their hands.

After that, the USC intellectuals mistype every professor's name, room number and building so that instead of arriving at Gambrell Hall to take History 101 with Professor William Jones, you've been directed to spend 50 minutes at the Russell House Cafeteria learning Intangibles 689 with assistant associate instructor Morris Mulehammer. This is no matter, however because I USC rules clearly state that ; any student can miss as i much as 6 minutes of the 1 first class of a course before I receiving an "F" for the 1 course and a mandatory two- i hour viewing of "USC-The i Carolina Community," with supplemental lecture by the i emporer of USC, James B. Holderman. I This is not to discourage i anyone. But the current < prices of textboo,r? at USC is.

Also, don't , load up on hours. Consider ten hours a full load and six hours a normal load. Be sure that you take a semester off every year to "discover yourself" and return with a poor attitude. Listen to nobody when , they are giving advice and make sure that you're , always right. Get into arguments about things you don't understand and generally make a fool of yourself. This is what college is all about. It's called the "selfish awareness" attitude and I believe it should be adopted by everyone at USC. Concern is a thing of the past and recklessness is the key. , jazz d Chevy Chase.
