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.

If you have dreamed of attending
another university in the United
States or living outside of
South Carolina, then the National
Student Exchange Program might
be for you.
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.

McKellar said.
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

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

ihink it's a popular thing in college.
The university is so big," she said.
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.
McKellar said this year the Garnet
and Black is making Feb. 28
-the cut-off date for orders, leaving Kb
last-minute buyers out in the cold. pei
McKellar said Student Media does (ce
not have the space to hold extra Sir
yearbooks or the money to hope
they will sell later. <J

Selecting a school can be com- jn,
plicated. In the past, students have ,)n
looked at schools with their same ^
major or those in a part of the j()
country they have always wanted
see. Most USC students travel t
northeast or west. br
Information about the program
will be presented on Awareness q.
Day at 3 p.m. Feb. 5 in Russell cn
House room 327. Speakers will in- <jr
elude students currently at USC on
exchange and students who have
been in program in the past.
About 100 colleges and universities
nationwide participate in the
National Student Exchange Program,
and almost every state is represented
by one of them.

The play features several song

"It really is a wonderful show,"

There's something in it for
