Stan Hardin, page 5 I GAMECOCK Volume 84, No. 43 University of South Carolina Friday, November 22 , 1991 Schools' discuss p By J.T. WAGENHEIM Staff Writer Fifteen leaders from Clemson University came to USC Wednesday to discuss issues with Student Government. The meeting was part of the fifth annual Carolina/ Clemson Leadership Exhange sponsored by student government and the Division of Student Affairs. 'The Exchange is designed to provide top student leaders from both universities an oppurtunity to interact and share information on common problems and solutions," Assistant Chief of Staff David Haller said. USC beean the tradition in 1987 in order to estab lish better relations between the two universities. Moreover, the Exchange gave the student presidents from each school a chance to relay their oaths of "Good Faith and Sportsmanship" before Saturday's football game between Carolina and Clemson. "I think this is an excellent oppurtunity for both schools to communicate and establish better relations," Clemson Student President Greg Horton said. "Both of us have the same basic concerns and issues facing us." Horton also said the Exchange gives the leaders a chance to compare solutions to certain problems and discuss mutual ideas from which both schools could benefit. Leaders from both universities discussed problems and concerns pertinent to their schools. Clemson leaders were interested in the structure of USC student government and the student affairs department. USC leaders gave them advice as to how they may benefit Carolina Mall ? ?J - ?

The video store will have more than 300 titles to rent and will be under the ownership of Carleton Bodkin, a USC alumni who graduated this past spring. "I realized there wasn't a convenient video store near the university when I lived on campus last year," he said. Bodkin, who graduated with a political science degree, decided to open the store because he said the job market was bad and he was not ready to enter graduate school. "We think it will work quite well," Vice President of Business Affairs Richard Wertz said. "Video stores statistically do well around the country."

Rosco's Video Store will be occupying the business space that housed one of two Perry Ellis clothing stores that went out of business earlier this year. Wertz said the reason the Perry Ellis stores failed was because of bad business, and not because of any conflicts with the Carolina Mall. He said the fact Perry Ellis might not have known about students' attitudes towards spending money on clothes might have been a factor in the clothing store's demise. As for the future of new businesses in the mall, Wertz said there is the possibility a record store, computer store or a photocopying center might be in the works. In the World...

USC Student President Manish Shrivastava admitted his concern towards monies allocated to higher education. He said he feels there is not enough money given to higher education in the state of South Carolina.

"We are trying to get people to realize that investing in higher education is for the benefit of everyone. It should be in the best interest of the entire nation," Shrivastava said. Clemson also seemed interested in how the USC student government deals with racial tension and minority student affairs. USC representatives informed Clemson leaders about the "Race Relations Forum" two weeks ago and how it helped to assuage tension.

I Tests con Senate seeking rule enforcement By KATHY HEBERGGR Staff Writer Tests during the last week of classes will be a thing of the past next semester if the student senate's efforts to enforce university policy are successful. The Faculty Manual for USC Columbia states that tests or quizzes cannot be given during the last week of classes before finals. "A lot of students just aren't familiar with this policy," Sen. Maribeth Brune, who proposed the resolution to enforce the policy, said. "It's really hard for students to study for exams while they're still studying to pass tests in the normal classload," Brune said. The senate plans to notify the faculty about the test scheduling policy and urge them to follow the guidelines when they prepare their course syllabi for the spring semester. Brune said she felt it was too late this semester to expect a professor to change his/her fall syllabus. "If more people know about the policy, they can go to their professors early in the semester and talk i ie State... newspaper reporters jailed impt of court after refusing to teslegislator's corruption trial were ck into custody Thursday after a freedom when they again refused istrict Judge Falcon Hawkins ors four into custody Wednesday afclaimed reporters' privilege in rer? tesHfv ahmit nfnripR fhpv had leston Mayor Joseph P.
