Anyone interested in running in dorm government elections can get an application at the 1-buildine. located between Baker and Burney dorms, or call Miguel Valencia at. 777-8188, The application deadline is March 23. Campaigning will begin March 28. In other RHA matters, the poor turnout for a March 5 meeting concerning budget increases for campus housing was at tributed to a lack of publicity. Notices of the meeting were sent to 24 dorms, but only four representatives attended. "I just wonder how much interest there is in a budget increase" Williams said. r***fippuc for 1984-85 Resii Graduate 1 AVAILABLE and J N in the Resident Stud 1215 B ?

USC's information system provides disabl ed South Carolinians with instructions about the nearest services ranging from medicai treatment to financial assistance. "This kind of system is what removes the handicap from the disability," Koop said. Koop visited USC Friday to learn more about the USC School of Medicine's information system that the Reagan Administration plans to develop into a nationwide service.

The national network will be a public and private effort, he said. % , Recalling his experience working with the'\ handicapped during his 35 years as a surgeon, Koop said "I understand its (SCHSIS) importance in situations like Baby Doe. It physicians know how to access community support systems, this would alleviate the tremendous lack of knowledge of aid." Koop listed the numerous services needed by parents of disabled newborns and the newborns as well. "A pediatrician is not geared to find all these services. SCHSIS makes it possible for a physician to find them," he said, noting that the system also is number of students." He dismissed the university argument that was based on the use of outside sources to pay the fees. McLeod ordered six of the plaintiffs be dismissed from the suit because they failed to comply with attorneys' discovery, or questioning, procedures. THE REMAINING plaintiffs were awarded the $215 and costs. just what the d presct ?*s 'po tffun-c lor- amyz/efe' kinko's i ?

After answering numerous media questions on topics ranging from abortion to the effects of violence in rock videotapes, Koop emphasized that problems related to the elderly will be "bigger than either abortion or Baby Doe's in this world" in the immediate future. HE WARNED that if alternatives to nurs ng homes and abandonment of the elderly are not developed now, "the ethical dilemmas we face about the elderly will make the problems of Baby Doe look like Sunday school." He said by the turn of the century the population of the United States will be "hourglass-shaped" with the small numbers of the toddlers of today in the middle supporting a new baby boom and more than 50 million people 65 and older. The case leaves two possibilities for USC. Ward said: tuition and fee decisions will affect only those students who start classes after the decisions are made or, less likely, a new, separate registration process for medical students will be started. Third- and fourth-year medical student' study on a year-round basis and start classes in July and register in August with other students, Ward said. OCTOR ORDERED.
