The lower University Terrace area could becon
either a site for parking facilities, greek meetir
places, housing areas or other types of facilities,
USC administrator said.
Lower ,U,T. is slowly becoming a priority f<
renovation under the master plan made by tl
Committee on Capital Planning, which has a lonj
range master plan for the upkeep of buildings o
campus, said Dennis Pruitt, vice president of Sti
dent Affairs.
"Either those facilities have to be renovatec
remodeled and updated at considerable co:
because they're so old . . . or you have to replac
something else there," Pruitt said. The lower U.I
area is one of the oldest housing facilities on can
pus, he said.
Although the lower U.T. area is being looked ir
to as a site for future projects, the building

Services said.
Pilot said no problem exists with the building:
In fact, the gas systems have been upgraded; th
plumbing is in good shape; and the building i
always painted during the summer months whe
residents are gone, he said.
However, the area has been selected for long
term projects and will be demolished eventually t
make way for new student facilities, said Davi
Rinker, vice president of Facilities Planning.
"It would take the next several years to develo
an overall plan, and the architectural plannin
would take at least six to nine months," Rinke
said.

P New proposal w
* opposite-sex visit
By RON BAKER
Staff writer
The Ecology Committee and the Board of Trustees are
Mm looking into a compromise that would phase out overnight,
opposite-sex visitation for freshmen and
IIP sophomores beginning in the fall of 1990.
"k The compromise would require the Ecology Committee
K and the board to review the possibility of phasing out
these visitation rights for juniors and seniors in 1992.
In a Student Liaison Committee meeting Friday afternoon,
the Board members reviewed the Ecology Committee
proposal and decided to clarify several points in it
before the April 13 vote.
The plan would not affect any student presently enrolled
at USC, but those students on whom it would have an
impact have no voice in the matter, said Student GovernIll
ment President Marie-Louise Ramsdale, a member of the
Ecology Committee.
Ramsdale said the issue of age rather than class groupil
ing should be taken into account so that older freshmen
pg who choose to live on campus would not be affected in the
same way as younger students.
Ex officio board member and S.C. state Rep. Mike
Fair said he plans to make a motion at the beginning of
ep oio Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting that would require
istees eliminating all overnight, opposite-sex visitation beginning
in the fall of 1989.

There will probably be no support for his plan by the
other board members, Fair said.
"It's probably one of the worst situations we could be
in with students," said Ramsdale of S.G.'s tacit support
of the Ecology Committee's compromise. "We came out
with the best we could possibly get," she said.
Ramsdale said she had met with board members in
private to discuss the issue. "This was the only plan that
was acceptable to the board," she said.
