Already questions start and smiling people in navy blue "ASK ME" shirts answer easily. Chosen from about 150 applicants, the 11 "ASK ME" people are orientation assistants; they guide students and parents through the schedule and basically run orientation all aay. The freshmen and parents finish their registration business and head to Russell House Theater to be properly greeted and introduced to the orientation assistants and some USC officials before splitting into groups. Parents leave for a student development session where they discuss problems, fears and expectations of their son's or daughter's first year in college. Freshmen split into small groups, each group headed by an orientation assistant, to talk about themselves, their interests and expectations of college for about 90 minutes.

Each freshman gets to know another bv meeting the person next to him, and then introducing their new friends to the group. They fill out and exchange index cards that answer some break-theice-type questions: Who would they have lunch with if they could dine with anyone? What kind of car would they drive if they could have any kind? What animal would they be if they could be any animal? Where would they go if they could visit anywhere in the world? Freshmen discuss their fears and excitement about coming to USC. The excitement concentrates on meeting people, freedom away from parents and, of course, parties. Dominating the fear category are terrors of getting lost on campus, making and keeping good grades and getting along with roommates. Next, a more immediate fear overwhelms the freshmen; it is time to take the English Proficiency Test.^ requiring them to write an essay on one of two given topics. Later these essays will determine their placement in frochmnn TT.ntflich Meanwhile, parents head to a session with academic deans where they meet the department dean of their offspring's major.

Andrews D 772-9252 USC, hospital officials reach new agreement By Susan Muir A new five-year affiliation agreement between the USC School of Medicine and Richland Memorial Hospital will become effective January 1,1983. The agreement replaces a 1974 pact and is designed to be more responsive to the present and long-range needs of the two institutions. An eight-member USC committee and Richland Memorial officials negotiated nearly a year to draw up the new agreement. After the hospital's board of trustees unanimously approved the agreement, it was then sent to USC's board of trustees for approval. "The document that was put together was a sound document," said USC Provost Frank Borkowski. According to the agreement, education for undergraduate medical students is the university's responsibility, while the hospital will educate graduate medical residents. The agreement says USC must pay for any space, personnel, supplies and sevices required by the medical school in addition to those needed for Richland Memorial's patient-care functions. Also, the university's medical educational activities or research requirements of the nospitai must not raise nospitai services' cost. In addition, USC must pay for hospital costs when a patient admitted by USC faculty members does not meet the financial requirements. USC trustee Michael J. Mungo questioned the financial reimbursement policy of the agreement, saying such a policy could lead to "an incredible amount of money." But according to Borkowski, the university has control over how many beds are reserved for the medical school, preventing USC from footing exorbitant medical bills. The document also states that all USC faculty members who want to teach or conduct research at Richland Memorial must obtain permission from hospital and USC governing bodies. No more than 80 undergraduate students from the USC School of Medicine or the Medical University of S C. in Charleston will be located at Richland Memorial's present site. The hospital may limit the number of medical school teaching beds after seeking USC approval. The agreement further states the hospital reserves the authority to establish priorities for bed usage and regulate the number, size and referral procedures for outpatient clinics and emergency medical services. Margaret Wickenburg, chairman of the hospital board, said* Richland Memorial "is pleased to continue working with the USC medical school" and that "the agreement provides for a mutually productive and mutually beneficial working relationship between the university and the hospital." \ wml T sSSz^Ss> j I $1.00 OFF | I Any whole Sub ! with the Purchase of ! -1 any size soft drink!
