By Roni Bea Xayne
"If you live in the South, you should know something about
its influences around you," Nancy Ashmore, assistant director
of the Institute for Southern Studies, said.
"Knowledge of the South is essential to any student attenrlino

Southern Studies offers instruction in all aspects of Southern
life.
ISS is a comprehensive program that focuses on the
development of the state and the region. "The institute works
with other departments of the university coordinating the
resources of the university instead of creating an independent
department," Ashmore said.
FOUNDED IN 1980, the institute is approved by the South
Carolina Commission on Higher Education. The program offers
undergraduate studies as well as a variety of special programs,
lectures and publications for the community.
"We try to make the programs more than merely
academic," Ashmore said.

easier and more interesting with the help of the SCAN team.

people in the community find the program very informative,"
Ashmore said.
The institute's first publication, "Remembering the Days,"
is an illustrated history of USC. Among the other publications
is the quarterly newsletter, "South by Southeast." "It
(newsletter) keeps approximately 600 subscribers aware of new
plans and activities," Ashmore saia.
RECOGNIZED AUTHORITIES serve as research fellows
for the institute. They pursue their own research and participate
in other programs.
In addition, the South Carolina Department of Archives
and History, other state agencies and the university archives in
the McKissick Museums, allow Southern information to be
close at hand.
"Spring programs will include films on Southern women including
'Jezebel,' 'The Life of Miss Jane Pittrnan' and
'Norma Rae.' These films attempt to bring a better
understanding of the South to the public," Ashmore said.
Professors of media will also give lectures on Southern films
such as "Gone With The Wind."
