"We haven't placed any barriers on providing cable TV to the dormitories," Bud Tibshrany, Columbia Cable Television vice president and general manager, said. Director of Men's Housing David Macaulay said, "We are not against it (cable service in dorm rooms), if it can be worked out economically among the students, the university and the cable company." CCTV, the area's only franchised cable compan;. offers cable service to McBi yde Quadrangle, Maxcy, Columbia Hall, Wade Hampton Hotel and Capstone lounges, in addition to University Terrace Apartments and Carolina Gardens, both USC family housing. The dorm lounges' installation fees and cable service bills are paid by Student Government and financed by money taken ? c ** 1 iiuni uie uui him atuvuy ices, ividcauiay said. "It cost almost $800 last year to install cable at the Capstone lounge," Macaulay said. Students in family housing apartments "helped share the cost for wiring" about three years ago, Director of Family Housing Rachael Carr said.

Gates Although "Apathy Rules" seems to be the political banner under which many USC students congregate, at least one USC student has taken a big step into state politics. Shelly Vandervelde, a senior philosophy and psychology major, is running for the District 78 seat in the S.C.

"My major reason for running is to make sure our views are gotten across to the public," she said. Her campaign will "question the authority" of the incumbent "and that's what the Libertarian Party is all about," she said. Vandervelde coordinates the campus Students for Libertarian Society and chairs the Richland County Libertarian Party. She has never held a public office and said she is "not a politician." Her husband, Steven, a USC graduate student, is vice chairman of the S.C. Libertarian Party. >ion mav co a cable television does become available, the only cost to the student would be the cable company 's fees. There will be "no profit motive for USC," Wertz said. "It would be offered purely as a service to students.'' According to Wertz, billing probably would have to be handled by CCTV, but USC would help collect any delinquent bills. "The issue is certainly not dead," he said. Tibshrany said a survey of each dorm would have to be done before a decision is made. He added that extensive work on the older buildings might be necessary to allow for cable installation.

"It is almost useless now to bring a TV to college, since good reception is almost nonexistent. We should at least have the option of good reception," he said.

Libertarian Party was founded in 1975, but Libertarian candidates did not appear on the ballot until the 1980 elections, when Ed Clark ran for president. Traditionally the Libertarian Party has been associated with college-aged adults, and South Carolina's party is no exception, Vanderveldesaid. Although the present chairman, Steven Kreisman, is a Spartanburg physician, his predecessor took the chair at age 23. Vandervelde considers her youth an asset. "There are a lot of young middle-class individuals coming out of school into a new tax bracket," she said. "And our party is very radical, and therefore will naturally appeal to the youth.
