nccausc 01 a oramauc increase in enrollment,
has been forced to close freshman admissions for the
first time in university history.
According to Deborah Haynes, acting admissions
director, the USC -Columbia campUs has reached its

However. Haynes said the university will continue
to consider applications Iro,in "high-caliber
students" with good high school grades and
Scholastic Aptitude lest scores.
W e should I eel proud that US(; has become an institution
that has become competitive with other colleges
and universities. IVrhans this is because I SC'
has become what President lames li. MoUlerman
would call "a place tin I he map

One ol the reasons may be iljat the university has

USC luts also been privelegejd to have Jihan Sadat
teach a class on women's stu/lies. Now, some USC
students ha\e been gi\en a raie opportunity to learn

ideas on the role olAvomen in society today.

Countless reasons exist wliv we should be nroud ol

have known them all along, but now there is solid
evidence that others known them too.
As Haynes said. "I he surge in applications...can
be attributed to a rise in the university's overall

Easter need
l astcr has always been a special day
to my family. Besides the religious
meaning, it was a day when everyone
got together, ate dinner and, of course,
drank a hit of wine.
When we lived in Connecticut,
taster was a major production around
the house. About ten o'clock in the
morning ? after all the kids had
1 louncl their baskets ? aunts, uncles,
cousins and other such relatives would
i begin arriving, all bearing gifts of
I food.
It was interesting to watch as a child
) but. unfortunately, 1 didn't appreciate

hastcr seemed the most important. She
went all out for the kids.

sly holiday
My sister and 1 would wake our
parents as early as possible just so we ^
could see what we would have to play w
with all day.
Hut now that I'm in collcgc, taster
doesn't quite mean as much anymore.
There just isn't enough time in a threeday
weekend to make the drive to
Florida.
The only thing that makes taster
seem like taster at college is the call 1
get from my family that morning.
Ka?itrr or nnv holiflnv fnr I'rnm
home can be depressing, but at least. I
know my family is thinking about me, ^
and wishing me a happy day. ?
And that makes all the difference in
the world.
