They've got Car From Staff reports From a university telephone directory to a cable television organization, USC Student Media deals with campus news, cultural events and literary efforts. But it's a little more than just record-keeping. "We provide students with an opportunity to see what it's really like to work with a mass organization," said Bill Clements, director of student media. "This is a major business we run on the third floor" of Russell House, he said. "It usually ends up just breaking even." Six student organizations fall under the Student Media division. They are The Gamecock newspaper, Garnet and Black yearbook, Portfolio literary magazine, the University Telephone Direc tory, WUSC-FM radio station and USC Cable Connection. With the exception of seven full-time employees, the groups are run by USC students. This includes advertising, production and editing the various media.

"Student media helps develop students as a whole communicate well and learn what's involved in teamwork." Some of the positions on the various media arc paid part-time student jobs, but Clements said the money was more compensatory than anything else, to help students with increasing costs of going to college. "We think they gain more from working here than in fast food to make extra money," he said. Students at USC can receive free copies of The Gamecock.
