All students can register by telephone By KELLY C. THOMAS News Editor Beginning today, all students at the University of South Carolina's Columbia camous will be oermitted to use the Telephone Information Processing System to register for classes or to make any necessary changes to their schedules, registration officials said. Director of Registration Linda Woolen said the pilot test of the system was highly successful, and because of that the University Registrar and the Computer Services Division decided to open TIPS registration to all students between Dec. 4 and Dec. 21. 'This will be an excellent way for students to gain experience using the new system," University Registrar T. L. Gunter said. He added that using the sys4em now will prepare students for having to use the system permanently in the future. About 4,000 people have registered through TIPS so far, Woolen said, and there has not been any significant taxing of the computer system. Students who register or make changes to their schedules before Dec. 8 will receive printed confirmation of their schedules with their appointment cards for January registration activities, Woolen said. "Students are advised to use the TIPS registration worksheets," Woolen said. "It makes the registration process faster and easier." The worksheets can be found in the Spring 1990 Master Schedule, Woolen said. Students can register by TIPS from any touch-tone phone, she said. Other phones will not work, because a touch-tone phone has a special tone for each number which allows the TIPS system to identify that number. Students wishing to register from an on-campus telephone should dial 2-HPS, and students registering from off-campus need to dial 251-TIPS. Once a student has dialed the TIPS system, he merely has to listen and follow the voice-response instructions, Woolen said. USC endowment tops $50 , nears 2001 goal From Staff Reports The University of South Carolina's endowment topped $50 million for the 1988-89 fiscal year, a university official said. "This is a positive milestone for the university in its goal of establishing a $250 million endowment by the year 2001," Jim Rex, senior vice president for development and alumni relations, said. The increase tops the 1987-88 fiscal year's income by more than $13.4 million, Kex saia. The endowment, which now totals $50,083,905, includes stocks, bonds, cash and other liquid assets, as well as non-income producing assets, such as real estate, that are designed to become endowment funds when liquidated, he said. A breakdown of the total endowment figure shows that the largest portion comes from the USC Educational Foundation, where an endowment of $25,481,726 funds the vast majority of university i i ? n l V* auppunw a^nuiarsnips ana cnair proressorsnips, Kex said. "A substantial endowment is vital if the university is to have the flexibility to meet emerging needs that stem from rapidly advancing knowledge and technology," USC President James Holderman said. "It is an indispensable sourse of income as state funding plays a smaller role in helping meet these needs," he said. Income from USC's total endowment supports a variety of activities, including scholarships, chair professorships, museum acquisitions and graduate assistantships, Rex said. The majority of endowment funds are designated for support of specific USC programs by a donor, while undesignated funds are allocated for university programs by the boards of the foundations that hold them, he said. attack in four years nt raped i The victim identified her attacker as a black male s believed to be about 5 feet 11 inches tall and weig ing about 200 pounds.
