canteen to offices f
By ERIC KENNETH WARD
Staff writer I ||
Student Government is throwing its weight behind an
effort to prevent the canteen in Gambrell Hall from being fc
converted into four graduate student offices.
S.G. President Marie-Louise Ramsdale said she met Kl
with Vice President for Student Affairs Dennis Pruitt and II
Vice President for Facilities Planning David Rinker to express
student concern about the possible change.
Ramsdale has discussed the issue with many students
who were all adamant about keeping the canteen, she ^
"Do we want to look after the concerns of a few
students, or the concerns of many students?" Ramsdale H|
said. She said office space will not help the majority of the
students.
"Office space is certainly not something that is conducive
to a positive academic environment," she said.
She said she also wrote a letter to College of
Humanities and Social Sciences Dean Carol McGinnis
Kay and plans to meet with her on Friday.
S.G. Vice President John Leary said,"I wasn't aware
the College of Humanities and Social Sciences was in need
of extra office space with the Welsh office building right
next to it."
Rinker said the renovations would cost about $20,000
and stressed that it is a request from humanities and not a
definite plan.
"It is a request submitted for consideration, but it is
not something that is locked into cement," he said.
Rinker said the decision-making body that would present
the request to USC President James Holderman ineludes
Pruitt, who is also the dean of students.

The head of USC registration dispelled
i rumors Friday that hundreds of underclassmen
changed their appointment times to pre-register
early for the fall semester.
"It was One of those tvniral srares " Direetnr

of Registration Linda Woollen said. "There
were not hundreds and hundreds of people
,'<0 changing their appointment times."
Woollen said that there was not a substantial
? ,, J| figure of students changing their appointment
* p times, and the computer system has safeguards
JJJJJ to prohibit such an event.
There are only 999 reserved appointment
m spots in the mornings and afternoons on
. registration days for students to change their
/ H times to, Woollen said,
'" r The reserved spots were not used up on any of
the registration days so far, Woollen said.
"I feel that a lot of freshmen did get to
register before upperclassmen," business junior
Jody Wallace said. "I feel that upperclassmen
should be assured the right to register before
underclassmen."
Meanwhile, Woollen said registration officials
have become stricter about changing
times for students requesting changes, and more
than 24,000 registration forms had been processed
by the scanners.
"That's an average of two to three forms per
mes nettles/the gamecock person> which is right on target," Woollen said.

things that occurred, and I have found nothing
out of the ordinary," Woollen said.
Woollen feels that students were overreacting
to the number of appointment changes and the
main problem is there are not enough sections
of classes available for the students wanting
them.
"1 do understand how some people would
like to change their times to have a better chance
getting into the classes they want," broadcasting
junior Regina Suggs said. "As a junior,
it would really get me mad nor to get into one of
the classes I wanted because underclassmen
were able to register early."
As in years past, the Office of Communications
and other university departments put
holds on some students' registration for unpaid
telephone bills and other reasons.
"It's like this every semester," Janet Stokes
of the Office of Communications said. "We do
not put a hold on the student's registration
unless the telephone bill is a month unpaid."
The office does not put registration on hold
unless the unpaid bill is $25 or more, Stokes
said.
"Personally, I think there is a lot more to
worry about than registration," business
freshman Randy McKay said.
McKay said a lot of students who changed
their appointment times did not have legitimate
excuse except for wanting to be assured of getting
into the classes they wanted.
