USC Briefs 11 IJSC offers program for black students The states's black students can get acquainted with USC at a special day program Nov. 11. Carolina Tip-Off was first offered in 1988 as a means of encouraging outstanding black students to stay in South Carolina for their college education, said Ron Laffitte, assistant director of admissions. "Carolina Tip-Off introduces students to USC programs and activities designed to aid minority students on campus," he said. A session will be offered just for parents about what student life at USC is like. Parents' concerns and what they can expect as a parent of a college student also will be discussed. The program lasts from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost is $5 for students and $8 for parents. Lunch is included. Registration deadline is Nov. 6. To register, call USC's Admissions Office at 1-800-922-9755.

Social work students help victims For three weeks after Hurricane Hugo, S.C. Disaster Assistance Centers became classrooms for graduate students in the College of Social Work at USC. Some 35 students in the college put their social work training to use in a setting quite different from the standard graduate school field work performed through state agencies. And it took only a few days on the job for Ruth Strait of Easley to wonder how people would survive it all.
