Most university students have
grown up in the age of computers
and television, but not all of them
have had these benefits, said Dr.
Dorothy Fidler, director of the
Mature Students Program at USC.
The program, which began in
1974, was started because the community
requested that the university
offer special courses for mature in

"Wc provide a transition
semester. We give them reserved
classes and extra academic advisement.
It eases the way for the first
semester. Usually the first semester
s is the most difficult for any student,"
said Fidler.
"Mature students juggle job,
child care and family. They need
some extra help with time management,"
Fidler said
THE MATURE Students Program,
which provides assistance
with admission, advisement and
registration, offers courses in
humanities, science, education,
social sciences, history and government
and international studies.

about 11 shops.

Construction began on public restrooms
and metal support beams on the Greene
Street wall of the basement.
Miles said a wall will be knocked out to
make the mall accessible to handicapped
students.
He said the mall may take four years or
more to pay for itself because 15 stores will
be built instead of the nroDOsed 11.
"I'VE GOTTEN nothing but positive
feedback from the students. Everyone seems
to think it's a good idea," said Student
