Askus gives facts about Columbia,too By PAULA WETHINGTON Staff writer For anyone with a question, USC's Askus telephone information center probably has the answer. The Askus system has over 800 tapes on file for people to call in and listen to, including tourist information. This service not only provides general University information, but also supplies information about Columbia and is used by people throughout Richland and Lexington counties. r>^?-i* wi..n?A Art..#. :? ixusvcu iviui lam, uic ^ictuuaa muuuiii 111 niaigc ui rvMvud, aaiu u id the only information system of its kind in the state. To get information, a caller should dial 777-7777 or 777-7779 from the hours of 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Friday and ask the operator for a specific numbered tape to hear. The caller can find the number of the tape they want to hear in the Askus directory or the USC phone book. "The nice thing about it is that the caller remains anonymous. All they need to do is call and request the tape number," Martain said. Askus operators do more than just answer the phone and start the recording machines. Brian Shealy, one of the three operators for Askus, said sometimes people ask questions not on the tapes. When that happens, Shealy said the operators either try to answer the questions or refer the caller to someone else. "Sometimes it gets monotonous and boring (between phone calls), but all in all it's an enjoyable job. You get to talk to a lot of people," he said. If any organization wants to have a tape on file or be listed in the daily activities tape, they should contact Martain or Susan Heyward in Russell House West Wing 108.

The list of students receiving tickets should be posted by Nov. 13. Block seating will begin the Monday after the list is published. Plans to make improvements on laundry equipment and lighting around campus were also announced by the Residence Life committee. Sen. Ed Sookikian, Academics committee, resigned his position as co-chairman of Honors and Awards because of voting com- j plications concerning his status as a senior. Jeff Mclntyre was voted 1 new co-chairman. | Sen. Sookikian raised the problem of Student Senate seats not being filled. He said the goal of the senate is to have one senator representative for approximately 412 students, but most vacant scats now belong to off-campus students. Sen. Sookikian proposed a motion be made to leave seats open to on-and off-campus students. He also proposed reapportionment of senate seats among the separate USC colleges. The purpose of his proposal would be to fill the seats which arc vacant, he said. This proposition was debated last year and not passed. However, because of the large rtitrMUnt* rtf unonnl rnnotn mot r ' iiuiiiuv.1 ui vatam awuaiv, g the bill was reopened and passed I by a vote of 20-11 after debate I over who should fill the seats. |j ;vi. ? v* P-V' i ' *** .O TV - 'M Donate Blood. + j STOPS HERE!?1 largest fantasy shoppe is right St. Bridge from U.S.C.? y' city .
