Amendi

USC students will vote
March 12 on several
amendments to the Student
Government CYinaHHiHnn nc
well as on the constitutional
offices.
Student Senate Wednesday
passed the amendments
which now require twothirds
approval by the
student body to be ratified.
One amendment to be
voted on would change the
length of time some student
positions last. Positions
affected include those of the
Election Commission, the
Student Organization
Licensing Committee and
Campus Court.
THE POSITIONS nowT
correspond with the
president's term of one year. |
"we want to amend the
constitution so appointees
can be appointed for more
than one year," said John
Hiott, Judicial Committee
chairman. "This is very
important to promote
continuity," he said.
According to the bill, a 100
percent turnover of
executive and legislative
appointees would eliminate
year-to-year continuity in
several committees.
The one-year term has not
always been adhered to, so
ratifi^otinn nf
MoitivMvivn vi vi ic aiuciiu"
ment would adjust the
constitution to conform to
practice, Hiott said.
THE SENATE also passed
a bill allocating $500 for the
purchase of 5,000 South
Carolina Electric & Gas bus
coupons.
The coupons, which serve
as SCE&G bus fare, were
bought at the standard price
of 10 cents each by Student
Government. They will be
sold tn stllHpntc at n Hic^nnnt

Student Government paid
the 20 percent difference in
coupon prices for students.
"We had to absorb the
discount because SCE&G
couldn't do special favors for
certain interest groups,"
Mitcheltree said.
THE SENATE also passed
a bill proposing that Student
Government absorb the
discount every year.
Mitcheltree said there
were 2,500 coupons left from
last year, but these were sold
by November. Once the
remaining coupons were
advertised they were sold
quickly, she said.

New phot
operating
By Jamie Coilom
Staff Writer
After a problem-plagued beginning,
the new university telephone system
installed Feb. 8 is now operating with few
problems, according to Debbie Fiippo,
director of telephone communications
for USC.
"Our greatest problem has been
students complaining," Fiippo said.
"But, overall, the students have been
really understanding."
As a result of the new system,
telephone numbers in 2,500 dorm rooms
were changed and at least 60 faculty and
staff members have new office phone
numbers.
THE SYSTEM also requires that a "7"
be dialed before the usual four digits of
any campus phone number.

Most students were initially annoyed
with this "newfangled" system but have
since accepted and adapted to the
method, Flippo said.
A major complication in implementing
the new system was a computer
malfunction causing the loss of 300
dorm room phone numbers, Flippo said.
Most of those 300 phones were out of
order for a period of one day to more than
a week, she said. |
TRANSFERRING from the old system
to the new required that almost 7,000
telephone lines be cut, stopping campus
phone service for 15 seconds to 15
minutes.
Difficulties with establish ng ihe new
system have been worked out for the
most part and dialing procedures should
continue to run smoothly, she said.
