MALLETT Staff Writer The Society of Physics Students was recently honored with the national Chapter of the Year award by the National Society of Physics Students. "We were given the award as recognition for our hard work in putting together the national conference," said Heather Brent, society president. The national conference was held in Columbia at the Town House Hotel in November., The society's goal is to link together the physic majors and those who are interested in physics together, Brent said. The organization has invited numerous speakers to talk to the students and have taken many field trips. Brent said the group is trying to build its membership. "Until about four years ago, the chapter was non-active," she said. "We want to get more involved." The snrietv is wnrkinp at the S C State Museum, conducting tours of the science exhibits. TROLLEY continued from page 1 Marshall said the shuttle system will be paid for in a variety of ways. "The vehicles will be acquired using a federal grant," he said. "The operating money for the first two years will come from fares, a fee attached to monthly parking leases in any city-owned garage, a 10-cent-a-day increase for any cityowned daily parking lots and a $50,000-a-year increase in business license fees from the businesses in the areas being served." As the shuttle system expands into the USC area, students mav end up paying a little more for I parking decals and student activity | fees to offset the cost of providing the service, Marshall said. r "In the future, students may pay an additional $6 for a parking decal and $5 extra in their student activity fees," he said. "In exchange, students would ride free with a USC ID." . ... ? A TEE" iE gift with Rabanne purchase.

Designate a driver, or arrange to sleep wherever you are. This doesn't pertain just to driving a car. Boating, skiing and surfing are all activities tnat should be done sober. Be aware of drinking-age laws. Remember, these laws affect your relationship with the legal system. If you're going somewhere warm this break, there is more to keep in tnind concerning alcohol and hot rlimates. Alcohol and the sun aren't t good combination. "Alcohol is a diuretic which causes dehydration," said Dr. Terry King, director of clinical affairs at rhomson Student Health Center. 'Alcohol also kills your thirst esoonse. which onlv makes the dehydration worse. If you become hirsty and drink more alcohol, it :an further your dehydration." You should also avoid alcohol vhen participating in sports. Strenuous activity combined with ilcohol increases dehydration and lecreases mental alertness. You :ould seriously hurt yourself or others. King commented on the nature >f the cases the Health Center sees ifter spring break. Serious sun)urns, broken bones and STDs are he most common reasons students leek medical help. Many of these iccidents are caused by poor choices made while under the influence )f alcohol. So whether you're hitting the lopes or the beach this spring >reak, keep all of this in mind, ipring break is no time to be under the weather."
