O Holderman Remains h Critical Condition
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Former University
of South Carolina President James Holderman remains
in critical condition at Roper Hospital where
he
underwent surgery last month, a hospital spokeswoman
said.
Tricia Crimminger said Holderman remained in
critical but stable condition on Thursday. Holderman
was admitted last month for surgery for a pelvic
abscess.
Holderman resigned as USC president in May
1990 amid controversy over his extravagant spend
ing. He later pleaded guilty to receiving extra
compensation and no contest to state income tax evasion
and was sentenced to probation and community
service.
? 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.

Every four hours and 27 minutes, a feaale

Uniform Crime Reports Department.
The Rape Crisis Network of Columbia

issault, and will begin training volunteer

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

"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
