USC fair to highlight volunteer opportunities The USC Volunteer Fair will be held Sept. 17th from 1:00?4:00pm in the Russell House University Union Ballroom. The Fair provides a unique opportunity for Columbia community service agencies to highlight their volunteer opportunities and to introduces themselves to the Carolina Community. Students, faculty and staff are invited to attend. The Office of Community Service Programs at USC encourages the University community to increase their awareness and involvement related to service. The fall of each year is an excellent opportunity to tap into members of the University community as they plan their academic year. To many of our students , the idea of volunteering is a new one. Others who are interested in service are simply unaware of all the community service options that exist in the Columbia area.

USC School of Music names new director Dr. Manuel Alvarez has been named director of the School of Music at USC effective Aug. 16. Alvarez, 53, has been associate dean of academic affairs at the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford since 1983, with the exception of the 1988-89 school year when he served as interim dean. He replaces Dr. William J. Moody, who is rehiring to full-time teaching in USC's music school. A master trumpeter, Alvarez joined the Hartt School of Musci in 1979 as assistant professor of music education. Prior to that appointment, he was a music teacher and a band director for the Grand Allen public school system in New York. Alvarez also was a member of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra from 1960-78. "We are fortunate to have attracted someone of Dr. Alvarez's superb musicality and excellent adminstrative skills," said Dr. Carol McGinnis Kay dean of USC's College of Humanities and Social Sciences. #? v nGREASE WWNKEV Effisa I ^ || ^|) I p| |J *n Minutes, We'l Change Oil (5 qts) Check/Fill Battery Fluid Replace Oil Filter Vacuum Interior Lubricate Chassis Check Tire Pressure Check/Fill Transmission Fluid Wash Windows Check/Fill Differential USC Students and Faculty $3 discount Locally < Radiator Flush 5126 Old Bush R Bush River Store Only (Next to K-Mar AC Recharge St. Andrews Lube-Oil-Oil Filter 731-963* With current USC ID ATTENTION BUSINESS DELTA SIGM/ International Business Fr; announces FALL RUSH IS Stop by the table in the BA Lobby Aug details and a list of events regardin For More Information Call' Utah debates school By The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY ? To Gov. Norm Bangerter, an impending legal s< battle over the saying of prayers at public school graduations is a local m issue that scarcely affects predominantly Mormon Utah's image in the global marketplace. C Nor does he see the bitterly divisive issue tainting Salt Lake City's bid pi to be host of the 1998 Winter Olympics. "I doubt anyone who's going to come to the Olympics worries d< whether there's prayer in graduation at high school. I doubt that it's go- lii ing to cross many people's minds," Bangerter said in an interview. But Michele Pflrish-Pixlftr staff* Hirfvtrw nf thf* Am#?riran Pivil T ihf?r ties Union, is among many non-Mormons who believe the governor's attitude helps perpetuate the outsider's image of Utah as a narrow- "r minded theocracy. pi "We spend all this money to promote tourism, then wetlo this stuff," t\ she said. Perhaps not since non-Mormon efforts to permit hard liquor to be d< served by the drink failed in 1968 has an issue so sharply divided Utah ol residents along religious lines. The battle was joined July 30 when the ACLU filed suit in federal court seeking to ban prayer from public school graduations. U Bangerter, a Mormon and a Republican, said he may ask the state Le- A gislature for a special appropriation to help the two school districts named in the lawsuit defend themselves in court. U "I felt local districts were being somewhat intimidated by the threat of a lawsuit in doing what they desired to do," he said. ci B TAKEVINCEAi 3 CRASH COURSE II N 7 H H XLESSON/ ?A k |i \ N01 / you ^now?

Bangerter believes a legal gray area relains for opening and closing prayers at events such as commencement. Seventy percent of Utah's 1.7 million residents are members of the hurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and most of the graduation rayers are delivered by Mormons. Many defend the practice, saying critics are taking potshots at a faith lenders say is virtually synonymous with a healthy and industrious festyle.

"It's not just prayers at high school graduation," Parish-Pixler said, rhe governor brings this down to kids sitting through a 30-second ayer once in 12 years. The people who go to school here deal with it at rcry activity. "This-is a state that's reluctant to give up its church-state status. That )es not play well with people on the outside. They come, stay a couple : years, and leave. "They say, 'My kids were so unhappy we had to leave.' Every time tah loses somebody that way, the message goes out to corporate merica that this is a hardship post." State Sen. Frances Farley, a non-Mormon Democrat who moved to tah two decades ago, is saddened by the dispute. During a recent bipartisan Senate caucus in which the subject was disissed, she said Utah "should grow up."
