Work-in-progress piled up at White House WASHINGTON (AP)-Their plans were lofty, their expectations rosy. But even from the start, the team that drafted President Clinton's health reform plan was painfully aware of the political landmines ahead. The White House on Wednesday reluctantly made public more than 250 boxes crammed with work-inprogress documents from the 500-plus individuals who labored in secret to produce Clinton's plan. What emerges is a story of worker after worker cranking out memo after memo, option after option in pursuit of a plan that will improve Americans' health coverage and pass political muster. The authors optimistically predict their efforts will lead to congressional passage of health legisla tion by December 1993. C? TODAY Today is Friday, Sept. 9, the 252nd day of 1994.

Elape Crisis Network raining new volunteers WIN CALLOWAY Asst. News Editor Every four hours and 27 minutes, a feaale is raped in South Carolina, according 0 the 1993 State Law Enforcement Diviion Uniform Crime Reports Department. The Rape Crisis Network of Columbia irovides a hotline for survivors of sexual issault, and will begin training volunteer 1 i r? i r% r\ T 3 j: l icivocates aepi. iz, uonna ooraan, director if community relations and volunteers for he Rape Crisis Network, said. The volunteer advocate program begins vith an interview, and potential volunteers ittend a 20-hour training program which fives an overview on sexual assault. The raining program includes protocols of the nedical, law enforcement and judicial sysems, crisis assessment and other available ?mmunity resources. Criminal background :hecks are completed on all potential volmteers, and volunteers are asked to con;ribute to the $25 background check fee. "We take calls from survivors in a crilis, people who have just been assaulted," rordan said. "We put volunteers through a complete training so they can assess each :all as it comes. We ask that volunteers nake a 6-month commitment." Volunteer advocate Jennifer Dougherty, a USC graduate, has worked at the Cen ;er since March 1993. She started out as a /olunteer in the network's office and three nonths later she began her rape crisis trainng. She said the center asks that volunteers take two shifts a month, but she is usually on call for four to five shifts. For Dougherty, volunteering for the hotline is self-healing. "I was assaulted on campus three years ago and, as all victims do, I felt like it was my fault," Dougherty said. "This [the assault] shouldn't have happened to me. You auild up a lot of emotional strength by helping others. If s scary; it puts you back into the situation." Dougherty not only answers calls to the hotline, comforting survivors, but she also accompanies survivors to the hospital.

Dining schedules from holidays last year were taken into consideration when decisions regarding this year's schedule were made. "Last year on Labor Day weekend, we closed the Grand Marketplace and kept the Patio open. Since not as many students go to the Patio, we thought that this year we would keep the Grand Marketplace open instead. We thought that would take care of it," Chandler said. Chandler urged students to air their concerns regarding all aspects of USC dinincr aorvipaa '"b '? " "I feel that feedback is extremely important. The campus is large and I can't be everywhere, so whether it's friendly service, slow lines, bad food or whatever, just let us know and weU try to take care of it," Chandler said. (h fund raising Part of the $28,121,406.19 raised by the University in 1993-1994 came from bequests from deceased individuals. $853,621 was received from the estate of Grace Steell Hawes; $120,000 came from the Mary F. Smith; $114,000 from the estate of Mabel Eisenhart. Along with bequests, endowments for USC were raised as in the instance of the South Carolina Honors College receiving a $250,000 endowed scholarship fund from an anonymous donor. "Most large gifts come about as a result of relationships that have been developed between the University and the prospective donor. Those relationships generally FUNDS pags 2
