Editor Less than 8 percent of USC students have purchased Garnet and Black yearbooks in the past couple of years, leading Student Media to look for new marketing techniques. Only 2,021 yearbooks were purchased in 1990, and sales decreased to 1,753 in 1991. With sales totals for this year looking even worse, Student Media officials are gearing up advertising campaigns designated for the parents of freshmen. Coordinator of Student Media Jim McKellar said the yearbook recently sent advertisements for the 1992 yearbook to all parents of freshmen. This contact with new students is one step in a plan McKellar said he hopes will change attitudes about college yearbooks in the coming years.

Through the program, students attend another university for a semester or full academic year while paying USC tuition. In its first year, 1V8U, IU use students participated in the program, said Rosvelt Martain, director of Educational Support Services. Thirty USC students are registered to participate next year, and 34 are registered to attend USC on exchange from other colleges. Assistant coordinator Daphne Vegenas said she wishes she had known about the program as an undergraduate because it is a great help in developing independence and looks great on a resume.

Journalism senior Jeff Wilson attributes the Garnet and Black's decline in sales to the lack of money spent producing the yearbook. "You can't have a good product without putting money into it," Wilson said. Wilson also said Garnet and Black is not up to par with other college yearbooks he has seen and that it really fails to give him a flavor of USC life. Some USC students believe that the overall popularity of college yearbooks has slid in recent years. "I'm just not into yearbooks," junior Chuck Conrad said. "With high school yearbooks, 1 knew everybody in them. Here, I only know about 10 percent of them." This year's Garnet and Black editor, Shannon Reilly, admits college yearbooks do not seem to be popular in the '90s. "I just don't ;nt Exchans Students pay USC tuition but atte another university for one or two - semesters. About 100 colleges and universities nationwide participate students who can leave an environment they are familiar with and go to a school where they don't know anyone, Vegenas said. The application process is simple. Students choose three schools and write a short essay explaining why they chose them and why they want to participate. As many as 84 percent of those who apply are placed at their first choice. A S35 application fee is required, but is refunded if the student is not successfully placed. After placement, additional fees are required. Applications for next year's exchange are being accepted through Feb. 14. << Hilton Head Island * v 2.5 hrs. /Iw\vrt\e^?ac^ Packages: 5 visits $15 10 visits $25 15 visit^$35 ^ Southern Exj 631 Harden Street "i P[lii?

Reilly has worked to increase the number of students who have 9 individual portraits made this year fl in hopes that people who know their pictures will be in the yearbook will buy it. Even after this year's $3 price increase, the Garnet and Black's S26 price is much less expensive than yearbooks at other universities. But the relatively low price doesn't always bring in orders. McKellar said the yearbook staff often must deal with dozens of leftover books that would not sell.
