Writing ? essay exams,
term papers. The words
make most college students
nervous.
But USC's Writing Center
offers help for those who
have difficulty writing.
The Writing Center,
sponsored by USC's English
department, is located in
Room 14 of the Humanities
classroom building. It offers
free instruction outside the
classroom and is open to
auyuue.
Tom Waldrep, the center's
director, said most students
are referred to the center by
teachers.
WALDREP SAID the
center employs 10 graduate
students who are also staff
members in the English
department. "All of these
graduate assistants teach in
tne treshman English
program," he said. "So
when a student comes in, he
essentially has at his
disposal an English teacher
for one hour.

on a weekly basis, and have
a regular appointment
time," he said. "Others
choose to come in for just
one or two appointments
depending on how weak their
writing is.
"The most significant
aspect of the Writing Center
is the enthusiasm and
dedication for teaching
students who are in trouble
in their classes," he said.

receptive.
"Just the fact that they
have come speaks very well,
for them," said White.
"Most make return appointments/'
White attributes, the
students' nroeress to thp
"one-to-one tutoring."
Waldrep said the new
Writing Center started in
August.
"THE OLD Writing Lab
had a facelift. Now the new
Writing Center has expanded
in size and service,"
Waldrep said. "We no longer
serve just the university, but
we are now doine seminars
for government, business,
industry and area teachers
of English."
The Writing Center has
been flooded with appointments.
"Students often
find they must wait Iwo
weeks for an appointment,"
Waldrepsaid. "During the 21
days of operation in SepA.

held throughout the
semester on three main
divisions: discovering ideas,
presenting ideas and interpreting
ideas.
Waldrep said many
freshmen visit the Writing
Center. "However, we see
many students from history,
government, anthropology
and nursing at all levels,
including doctoral candidates."
Feedback on the center's
success comes from students
who see the improvement,
he said.
But Waldrep warns
students that the Writing
Center "is not a remedial,
first-aid or Band-Aid station.
We won't 'doctor up' a
student's paper to turn in to
an English instructor. We
will help any student whose
instructor will give us a
referral form."
The Writing Center is open
irom y a.m. 10 y p.m. Monday

a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday
