Towers' dorm government trying to change image By Scott Blakeney The Towers' dorm government is undergoing an overhaul to improve its low-profile image. Neglect of Towers' government facilities and lack of publicity for Towers dorm government have been the two major problems of the past, according to Timothy Thomas, president of Towers dorm government. "The past officers (of Towers' government) haven't utilized the facilities as effectively as they could have," Thomas said. He said there were two ways to remedy the situation. The first is ihe planned purchase of an answering machine for telephones in the dorm government office, he said. The answering machine would provide callers with information in regard to current happenings in the Towers area and all over campus, as well as take callers' messages, he said. Secondly, Towers' government is establishing office hours. During these hours someone from dorm government will ;ilvv:ivs hi* in tin* office. Thnmns said, nddini? "this is thf* first time this office has ever had office hours." Related to the problem of neglect of facilities is the lack of publicity for what Towers' government offers, Thomas said. To correct the situation Towers' government is planning the publication of a newsletter that would be sent out to all residents of Towers, he said. The newsletter would explain the purpose of dorm government. who the members of dorm government arc, when the meetings are, and "basically everything we do," Thomas said. Ihe proposed newsletter would be published at the first of every month. Another idea on the drawing board of Towers' government is the building of a television room in the lobby where the television is currently, according to Thomas. Also under consideration is the creation of kitchen facilities for the men's dorms. The women's dorms already have kitchen facilities, Thomas added. Correction In Wednesday's Gamecock "the blotter" incorrectly identified the barbcque pit as belonging to Pi Kappa Phi when it belonged to Phi Kappa Sigma. The Gamecock had correctly copied the report from the Campus Police. However, after the article was printed, new information was received that caused the report to be changed. i DIAMOND'S M|// | !PARTY W i : (HAD w > j ^BBVI I | PRESENT THIS COUPON i \ AND GET THESE DIAMOND j BACK-TO-SCHOOL SPECIALS ; Bud and Bud Light, 12 oz. cans $2.46 j Natural, 12-pk. $4.38 I 3 liter Paul Masson Wine $5.99 j Offer good until Sept. 3 Corner of Blossom & Harden St. I In 5 Points I 256-0011 I rYour Balfour Repr always available in I you select your cui relaxed, unhurried if Order now and rece (And . . .
