Campus group to c in fund-raising cam By BETH HENDRICH Staff writer Progressive fundraising activities will be sponsored by the USC Students Against Multiple Sclerosis as part of a nationwide college fundraiser, featuring a lip svnc contest miwi "Pnpt-Aiii"." _ _ v* i*vv r\ ni lrvv U5 a major event. The USC group is competing with 153 schools in a program initiated by the National MS Society, according to Ted Cox, fund-raising committee chairman. Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological disease usually striking adults between the ages of 18 and 34, with more than 200 cases diagnosed each week, according to the National MS Society. ''Oik* of the reasons they targeted campuses was because MS does strike young people," said Kathy Grogan, co-ordinator of Rock-Alike. The group from the winning campus will go to New York, where it will star in its own M I'V video. The fundraisers will begin Feb. 21 with a night of movies shown in the Sigma Epsilon lounge. The action will move to a party, sponsored by Zeta Beta Tan and Lamda Chi Alpha, whose theme will be a computer dating service. Students may buy ballots earlier in the night and describe their likes and dislikes. "1 have a computer, so we thought we would try to match people up by their interests," Cox said. The last campus event of the fundraiser will be a party in the Phi Kappa Sigma lounge Feb. 27. The final pvoni - l - , ?.itw , ID J'.llkUUlCU lO UC held at Rumours on Feb. 28. Bates West, McClintoek and several Greek organizations have entered groups in the contest, according to Grogan. Two requirements to enter arc a $25 contest fee and having a sponsor. WZLD-FM radio station is also sposnoring the events by broadcasting promotions and sending live disc jockeys to emcee the "Rock Alive" contest. 7 , I M j I I ?j?r?r ?-j The Gamecock j The GAMECOCK is the student newspaper of the University of South Carolina MM and is published three times a week on I Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during ?

One dollar equals one vote, so the group raising the most money will win. The committee will sell mugs and MTV buttons to supplement the money raised from the parties. The buttons will allow students a $1 discount on nnr. chascs from Kraze clothing store and School Kid's Records and Tapes in Carolina Mall, while Rockafella's will sponsor the mugs, which can be used to buy 25-cent draft at the club for the rest of the month. Prizes, possibly even a television set, and coupons will be given out at the parties, according to Cox. "We expect to raise $5,000," he said, but added the committee had a later start on the project than many other schools. The project began when Cox was selected by the national organization after a telephone interview. He hopes the group will become a licensed organization. "We already have a faculty adviser, Ralph Johnson (Assistant Dean of Student Life for Minority Student Affairs), and more than the required 10 people," he said. Although they would function year-round, February would still be their targeted month for fund raising, with the parties becoming annual events. Cox has received proclamations from South Carolina Gov. Dick Riley, Columbia Mayor Kirkman Finlay and USC President James Holderman declaring February "Bust MS Month." Although three of the four parties are Greeksponsored, the fund-raiser has been a campus effort. "Each dorm has a contact person;" Grogan said, "they have been instrumental in getting information out to campus students." Residence hall advisers and the Residence Hall Association have also been a big help, she said. Carolina: |-|-f{|44-fey? jg<t>t|yjoCjr; be&ti.
