Top 10 Reasons To Attend Cockstock: Organizers of
Cockstock, the all day music festival beginning at 11 a.m. Sunday
on P.E. Field A, have advertised the following reasons why students
must attend Cockstock:
Janis Joplin is still dead. Long live Janis!
No special appearances by NKOTB, or whatever they're being
called this week.
Max Yasgar's farm is now a parking garage.
It'll be over by the time "In Living Color" comes on ? two
snaps in a circle!
It's too sexy for Clemson.
Palm Sunday is boring anyway. Enlighten yourself on P.E. Field
A.
Exclusive "Week In Rock" coverage by Kurt Loder ? NOT!
Hannibal Lecter will not serve hot lunches.
The price is right... it's free.
You never know who you may see in the porta-johns ... Elvis
perhaps?
About Baseball And Wheelchairs: Jim Brady said designers
have done a great job making Baltimore's new baseball stadium
ot>en to DeoDle in wheelchairs and those with other physical
hardships.
"This is a place that's friendly to me and to so many of my
friends who are fans with disabilities. This ballpark welcomes us,"
said the former White House press secretary at a ceremony in front
of the Orioles' dugout Sunday.
The first regular season game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards
was scheduled Monday against the Cleveland Indians.
Brady, who has been in a wheelchair since being shot during the
attempted assassination of President Reagan in 1981, said the stadium's
low concession stands, five elevators, inclined ramps and
wide corridors make it the most accessible major league park in
the nation.
Three Years Ago At USC: (From the April 10, 1989 issue
of The Gamecock) The Ecology Committee and the Board of Trustees
were looking into a compromise that would phase out overnight,
opposite-sex visitation for freshmen and sophomores beginning
in the fall of 1990.
The compromise would require the Ecology Committee and the
board to review the possibility of phasing out these visitation rights
for juniors and seniors in the fall of 1992.
The plan would not affect any student presently enrolled at USC,
but those students on whom it would have an impact would have
no voice in the matter, said Student Government President MarieLouise
Ramsdale, a member of the Ecology Committee.

USC finds s
By TINA MARIE FRATE
Staff Writer
Making a difference in the lives
of others is what the Office of
Community Service Programs
challenges USC students.
There are more than a hundred
agencies registered with the OCSP,
and students only need to express
an interest to become a needed and
appreciated volunteer in Columbia.
Once you find the time to give,
the rewards can be immeasurable.
Plus, it may be a fun break from
the daily routines of a college
campus.
Cyndy Martino of the OCSP
says the most common excuse for
not volunteering is a lack of time.
However, it only takes a few minutes
each week to make a difference,
she said.
"After volunteering, you give
only the amount of time you are
able to give each week," Martino

said.
Any volunteer work, five minutes
to five hours, is needed and
appreciated by the OCSP and the
many volunteer recipients, she
said.
Students also may think volunteer
work is a last resort to fill
spare time. Therefore, many students
may leave the volunteering
to those with more time on their
hands.
But the OCSP handbook says,
"There is nothing boring or
Second-rate about service; there is
nothing boring about teaching people
to read, feeding the hungry or
making someone smile."
OCSP offers volunteer opportunities
in almost every field imaginable,
from biology to at-risk
children to senior citizens.
Such opportunities exist in anthropology,
