Two expert commissions set up following the death will make recommendations along those lines, deputy health minister Bruno Durieux said Wednesday. The 31-year-old woman, a heavy smoker, died March 23 at a hospital in Pas-de-Calais, in northwest France, following an injection of a prostaglandin hormone used in conjunction with the pill, known as RU-486, the ministry said. | Scand By LAURA BARNES Staff Writer As former USC President Jarr Holderman faces trial, early indi< tors suggest his image may be si fering more than the university image.

Master S< upset 4th By AARON SHEININ Assistant News Editor In a time when waste is rampant and litter is overflowing the landfills, Kappy Cannon's fourth grade class at Lonnie B. Nelson Elementary School is literally a breath of fresh air. These students, who through their comprehensive study of the environment are probably more aware of the problem of recycling than most college students, recently got their hands on copies of the Summer and Fall 1991 USC Master Schedules. Needless to say, they were most displeased by the glossy cover. The reason for their dissatisfaction is they have learned in class that the glossy finish on the cover, like with the pages of a magazine, makes it almost impossible to recycle. John Newman of the USC Recycling Office, said he was pleased to see students starting to become aware of environmental problems at such an eariy age. He also said, however, that there ius far ending is says the process of reviewing his entire ; He said unspecified changes will sd "to have a community of higher ognized nationally and internation)p systems in the country." the Beaufort campus was his last tour of USC campuses, ized the university funding package cd by the state Legislature, on would fund the university sysir's level.
