Progressive fundraising activities will be sponsored

Sclerosis as part of a nationwide college fundraiser,
featuring a lip svnc contest miwi "Pnpt-Aiii"."

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 -

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.

The committee will continue to take applications
until Feb. 21, Grogan said. 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.
