Journalism set BY LANYIA DICKENS w ~ Staff reporter (ro1 The USC community can expect a new College of Journalism and Mass Communications building with better facilities and more classroom space in about two years, according to Joseph Shoquist, 1 dean of the college. I "Lack of suitable space to conduct activities ? ^ such as workshops and seminars has created a ? desire to improve the present complex by adding ^ ^ newer equipment and relocating the building," i.'

"My concern is what signals does this send to the people who worked hard to provide $42 million in new funds for higher education? We tell the poor and disenfranchised that the only way out of that dilemma is to get a quality education. But is quality education an affordable commodity?" Mark W. Buyck, a governor appointee, also said that the increases in fees for the resident students were inacceptable. Both the trustees registered a vote of dissent. USC Student Government President James Franklin felt sorry that the students had to bear the additional burden. He said, "It's extremely bad that the fees continue to go up year after year. The student government had submitted a report to the Board of Trustees on the dilemma of education and its affordability and we have made a few suggestions in the report." Franklin felt that the student representative should be given voting power in such meetings. "If I had the power to vote, I'd have voted against this budget," he said. However, he said he was?pleased that the president warned the students about the fee raise in advance so that they mo X'JSW jUi Wttil iUW ?,rfT I UNIV I Ri /Welcome to Care This is a personal invitatio The University Bookstore Russell House would like to welcome to you.

E "USC will allow students an additional period to pay e the fee increase this fall," President Holderman said. "The students can pay the additional fees within a max- f imum period of 60 days from the date of registration for & fall semester without attracting any penalties." p "The legislature had discussed that out-of-state fi students should pay up to 75 percent of their educational costs. After taking into account the recent increases in tui- t; tion and other fees, they would be paying about 66 per- o cent," Holderman said S "About 88 percent of this amount will be spent on a academics, including the enhancement of the library, f campus and to enhance faculty salaries." Holderman said that he was grateful for the attention that higher educa- n tion received from the governor and the legislature. h The $343.7 million budget approved at the meeting fi covers the entire nine-campus USC system. It includes $9,196 million in terms of new revenue for the Columbia s; campus. $39,124,3227 will come from student fees.

"It's here to help provide campus afety to students by giving them the pportunity to get an escorted ride rom 8 p.m. to midnight on Sunday trough Thursday," said a past APO 'resident Chris Burnette.

Weaver Grayson, training officer for the USC Division of Law Enforcement and Safety, however, says the escort service is used by many students and faculty but he feels the service is in need of expansion. "Last vear. we served annrox imately 2,300 students within a 13 to 14 week period," Grayson said. All the members of the escort team are required to have their driver's liscence evaluated and they must also be a member of the fraternity, which also requires 30 hours of community service through organizations such as the American Red Cross or the American Cancer Society. Also available to students this fall will be a project designed top help students permanently identify their property in the event of theft or loss.

The process off getting property engraved involves having it engraved with an agency's identification number so that if it's stolen, it can be traced back to the local agency. "It's a lot harder to sell stolen property if it hs been labeled with an engraving code, and people or pawn shops are less likely to buy it if there is some liklihood that it can be traced," he said. The university police will be work^ ing with the residence hall staffs to designate dates when they will be in certain dorms.
