Residents on the second floor of
urney dormitory in the Towers
ave filed a petition with Univerity
Housing Services to oppose a
olicy that allows no men on their
oor.
Students who live on the second
oor of Burney and the first floor
f Douglas are under the Freshman

y members of the opposite sex to
le lobbies.
"It's ridiculous," psychology
eshman Virginia Lee said. "We
an't even bring our own fathers I
p to our rooms."
Housing Services has an obliga- I
on to provide an area for students
'ho do not want opposite sex visation,
according to Jim McMa- I

"The initial petition indicates
lat not everyone on the floor I
'ants the policy changed," he said. I
"We need to remember that
lere are students on campus who
'ant that (no visitation)," Student
rovernment President Stephen
enjamin said. Q
However, the only people on the
oor who did not sign the initial
etition had not moved into the
orm when the petition was passed
round, according to Mandy Ellore,
an engineering freshman.
"There's not one person on our
[oor who doesn't want visitation. Univer
yhere are the people who don't

It concludes that, "a healthy religious group
will not pressure you and will not encourage
you to put their meetings and activities
ahead of studies or other commitments."
It also provides on-campus and offcampus
resources for additional information
and counseling. The various campus chaplains
have also offered to help anyone who
needs counseling or information.
Problems were encountered while organizing

"Until we had complaints," Fidler said,
"we couldn't do anything."
The existence of cults is not new, but the
publicity here is. Very rarely do students
complain about cults, Fidler explained, so
the university cannot act very strongly.
"The university is making an educational
effort (with the brochure)," Fidler said.
"The university is concerned."

By The Associated Press
The son of one of the state Board of
Education members was one of the students
who received a scholarship from former
USC president James Holderman's discretionary
fund.
Sam Greer Jr., a USC senior from Rock
Hill, received a full-year scholarship of
$2,228 in 1988. He said he never filled out
an application for the money.
Greer is the son of Sam Greer, director
of vocational education at Winthrop College,
and is one of 382 students who received
$1.6 million in scholarships given
since 1977 at Holderman's discretion.
The younger Greer said he felt the strong
J academic showing he made at the end of
troblems
dence halls and in all University 101 classes.
The Office of Student Affairs has already
received responses.
"The feedback from students and parents
has been very, very positive," Fidler added.
Brochures are also available in the VicePresident's
Office of Student Affairs.

At the time, he didn't think it unusual.
Greer, an accounting major living in Columbia,
said he checked on scholarships
when he received the perfect grades after

Greer, who has worked as a page for
House Speaker Bob Sheheen, said he qualified
for a scholarship based on his high

scholarship.
