Costs Continued frt pressured with tight revision schedules. "How can you keep revising a basic history book?" he said. Books are not the only thing that can be bought in the book store. Like the books, the merchandise escalates in price also, Bailey said. A variety of T-shirts, sweats, jackets and other student accessories are available at the book stores. "We try to offer a range of prices to attract different people," ne said. The high-priced articles are aimed at the alumni, Bailey said. Before football games, the highpriced merchandise sells well, he said.

Renovations, security and operation costs have forced up the prices, Housing Administration Director Jim Smart said. Housing costs have risen in the past few years and could rise next year. It is too early to tell if they will go up next year, Smart said. Any move to increase housing fees is ultimately left up to the Board of Trustees, Smart said. Other factors that determine the cost is the amount charged by companies USC deals with, Smart said. SCE&G or Southern Bell may increase their rates, which would affect the cost, he said. ;ed You! ?,XS BLOOD, ive take you personally 3 on YOU 3/ Feminine Healthcare ithoocf 256-4908 hi Ome&a s everyone The use a &reat ear N .A. u DEPENDABLE TR MTW RllA* >11T Ml) 2749 Rosewood Drive Columbia, SC 54-527 Jesome Alternative in the Midlands CPU The Koger Center v^aiuxiiia j-dit The Gamecock keeping you entertaine "If students didn't take 40-minute hot showers, we'd save more," Smart said.

The cost of raw products along with labor cost and local competition have caused prices to rise, University Dining Services Director Ken Medendorp said. The bonus on cash cards are the same, ranging from 3 to 5 percent, but the credit on meal plans has gone up slightly with prices, he said.

The continuing education center is important for Columbia because of the city's proximity to Atlanta and Charlotte. "People aren't looking at Columbia as they should. The city is home to a major university and is the state capital, which are components of a viable community," he said. If the changes come to pass Columbia can expect a $38.1 million annual visitors expenditure. \merican Red Cross <egional Blood Services -5 Cu.

This plan was outlined about three years ago and hopes to increase the presence of USC in the community and see Columbia become a convention center and tourist destination. Horrow said before any details can be firmly developed there must be an assessment of public and private financing and costs, sight analysis, traffic analysis, an inventory of potential users and a test of office, hotel and retail demands in order to get private investment from them.

A look at a history of failures shows that relying on one specmc source or iunaing needs to be avoided, he said. Horrow and the chamber will plan meetings with public and private representatives to decide what is practical and put a more specific package together in three to four months. USC is actively involved privately and is interested in being a key component in the project along with the city's businesses. Horrow would not give any figures on the total cost of the project because he feels it is too soon. He said he does not want to create false expectations by quoting prices too early.
