Student Affairs post draws more than 100 applications By David Hill More than 100 applications were received by the searc committee for a new dean of student affairs, showing th university's high prestige, the chairman said. "This is a great compliment to Carolina," said John Gard ner, assistant vice president for two-year campuses and conti nuing education. He said his estimate of 100 applications i "conservative." Gardner said the large number of applicants is especiall significant because of a requirement that applicants outlin their interest in, and qualifications for, the position and ir elude a description of their administrative philosophy an style. This requires more work by applicants, and weeds oi non-serious applicants, Gardner said. THE RESPONSE suggests "Carolina is an attractive plac for student affairs professionals," Gardner said. Part of the attractiveness of the job stems from the fact ths the dean answers directly to the president, Gardner said. The Dean of Student Affairs serves as the primary advise to the president on student life matters. He or she oversees, through the Division of Student Affair; all non-academic student services. He or she is also responsibl for advising student government, managing activity fee alloc* tions and other duties, Gardner said. MARSHA DUNCAN resigned the position in June.

Wood said he thinks students realize that t 'e purchase of a computer is an investment for the present and the future. "rf?mniitpr? anrl rnmnntpr an. cessories are becoming a tool of the trade for a college education," he said. Although there are computer stores in the area, he said many of these specialized stores are not conveniently located for many students. Besides the bookstore's easy accessibility to perspective buyers, its price range and promotions will make purchasing a computer from the bookstore convenient. The bookstore offers students discounts of up to 30 percent off the manufacturer's suggested retail prices of personal computers. "We'll be very competitive with any other computer retail outlet in Columbia," Wood said.

He said the price range for the computer line starts at the Commodore's price and goes up to nearly $3,000, the price for an entire hardware system. Software is not included with the system's price. Wood said students will have the opportunity to talk with computer company representatives at promotions throughout the semester. He said the promotions will be similiar to Monday's open house and to the calculator sales the bookstore has offered in the past. "We'll run similar promotions with the computers. We'll try to have at least one representative from each company in each semester. That's three to four representatives in a semester." UP HMD SEE.,.
