A middle ground proposal to create a historical "Circle of Rags" around the Capitol grounds and remove the flag from the dome was suggested by the Columbia Historical Society this past week. The flags would include the original American flag, as well as the Confederate battle and national flags. Meanwhile, Charleston legislators are trying to find ways to balance the loss of jobs and revenue 'from the closing of the Charleston N&vhl Staffbh with the interests of the state as a whole. Sen.

"We also help them register for classes. They are the last students to get classes, and it takes a lot of adjusting when three out of four classes are closed or are at one sectirvn *' Student orientation leaders help out at all orientations. SOLs are student leaders and advisers for orientation. They also help students figure out their schedules. "There were a lot of helpers here," said Rudy Morales, a freshman attending orientation. "They helped me out. It makes it a lot easier." Scheduling is only one part of the orientation day, though, Greenlaw said. "Mainly, we give an orientation to the university, an orientation to the college they are going to be in and then we take them to the Coliseum to pay fees, get their IDs made and get their financial aid taken care of," Greenlaw said. The morning session of orientation is an introduction and an overview of the university as a whole, Greenlaw said. "They learn the basics of being to offset the loss of the station in 1995. I Charleston City Council took a I step in that direction this past week by passing a 1-cent food and hotel tax to gain from the estimated 5 million tourists who visit the | Charleston area annually. The strangest bill coming before the General Assembly this session stems from the murder of James Jordan. Michael Jordan's father. Jordan's body was cremated before it was identified. Sen. Robert Ford, D-Charleston, and Sen. Darrell Jackson, DCalhoun, have proposed preserving unidentified bodies for up to six months after they are discovered. ' But many legislators said the bill is a waste of their time and taxpayers' money. "We're having trouble building enough prisons, and now we're trying to build holding dikes for bod- g ies; I don't think so," said Rep. ( Jennings McAbee, D-McCormick.

"Because the student population is diverse in iige, ability and background, we try to hit on things they all need to be involved in. "We talk about fee payments, TIPS, parking concerns and, for traditional students, student organiations. We also discuss the Carolinian Creed and the Carolina Community, the regulations and things they need to know about." The orientations held in January for the spring semester are almost identical to those held for summer school and in August for students admitted to the University over the summer, Greenlaw said. They are all different from the summer orientations. "For one, we don't have par ducation junior Taryn Bowen "oliseum Friday.

Harrison Greenla director of orientati ents' orientation except in the summer," Greenlaw said. "Another is that we go into more detail in the summer. These are a little abreviated. The registration process is also different. They don't pay fees during summer orientation: they are billed later. Here, the students are involved in fee payments. "The time between going through orientation and starting classes is greater during the summer, so we do more preplanning. Here, the talk is about fee payments and what they need to be doing on a last-minute basis." One thing that doesn't change about orientatons is the role SOLs play. "That doesn't change," Greenlaw said.

"They are very well-educated about the university and can answer any ques yy tion. If they don't know die answer, they know where to ( on go to get it. They are more ? up on current issues than some 01 the staff at the university." Helping new students adjust to the university is one reason junior Jamie Williams became a student orientation leader. "1 know it sounds corny, but 1 like helping these people." Williams said. "People panic because they can't get classes. 1 like helping them realize it's not the worst tiling in the world." Having a student leader made the registration process better for D'Angelo Edwards, the transfer student from USC-Union. "The SOLs were good,", he said. "They could relate to our stories and the procees that we were going through." The best part of the orientation process for Edwards, though, dealt with financial aid. "Signing my loan cheek, that was the easiest thing," he said. I David Mandrell/The Gamecock : in the Elephant Room at the ?.m. ?n ere, right?
