Russell House
scraps user fee
for USC clubs
Bv ROBYN THOMPSON
Assistant Copy Desk Chief
Student organizations who use Russell House for
events charging admission will no longer have to pay
a user fee, and the fee that has been paid will be returned,
a university official said.
The user fee, which charged student and nonstudent
organizations for the use of Russell House if
the organizations charged admission to the event, will
no longer affect student organizations as of Oct. 5,
said Jerry Brewer, dean of Student Life. The fee will
still affect non-student organizations.
"Because the finance bill is going through, the user
fee was taken away," Student Government President
Marie-Louise Ramsdale said. Money from student activity
fees will now be used to fund Russell House.
User fees paid by student organizations will be refunded,
Brewer said. These fees have been held and
not used, so the money will be returned to the student
organizations that paid the fees.
The user fee charges began at the end of this past
spring semester to fund the upkeep of Russell House,
he said.
Events that were charged user fees were broken up
into three affiliations: student organizations, university
departments and non-university departments. Fees
will no longer be charged to student organizations,
and the money received to this point was held and
will be repaid. Money from events affiliated with university
or non-university departments was used to buy
new equipment and furnishings and will continue to
be used.
The money from the fee was used to buy tables,
chairs, plants, technical equipment and other furniture
and supplies, Brewer said.
After asking several places for funding and being
turned down, the user fee was instated, Brewer said,
but if S.G. agreed to use student activity fees, it was
to be taken away.
"It was a last resort," he said about the fee.
McBryde quad l
By ANTHONY HODGE

A newly devised security measure for residents of
the McBryde quad has many students in an uproar.
To increase safety in the McBryde quad area, iron
gates have been placed around the living quarters. In
addition, a sentry house is now located at the Sumter
Street entrance to the quad. These new safety mea- '
sures have come into effect because of a request by

Singh said the idea has been in the works for three
years. "We've finally been given the funds to con- \

The cost of the gates and sentry house combined 1
will be $19,000, Housing Director Linda Saad said.
The university is sharing the cost with housing to fund 1
the building project, she said. '
The reason behind the new security measures on
McBryde is to try and keep control of who comes on 1
the quad, Singh said. V

each other, but with the increase of thefts, it's becoming

Growing concern over the economic coalition
of European nations that is supposed i
to take place by 1992 is misplaced, accord- t
ing to U.S. Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C. t
Hollings, who is chairman of the Senate s
Committee on Commerce, Science and e
Transportation, spoke to 110 business lead- p
ers at the Marriott Hotel Wednesday night a
to share his views concerning the 1992 c
European Economic Community. 1
"Our problem is ourselves, not the EEC,"
Hollings said. "Let them put in any rule, f
any content, any procedures, anything they c
want Until we make it to their economic t
interests, business is business. Why should F
they give to us? They have to keep their in- a
dustrial backbone." t
Hollings' spjeech marked the opening of
a three-day conference organized by USC's a
College of Business Administration. The ?
conference is the second of USC's "Project s
1992," which will involve six more confer- r
ences examining the way the United States p
will be affected by the "New Europe" ? c

also adopt the EEC's procedures, the U.S. J
