The amendment, originally a art of the USC sexual harassment alicy, says "instructional staff memirs must refrain from engaging in ay romantic or sexual relations ith students over whom they have rademic or supervisory control." The Faculty Senate recommended re Board of Trustees amend the acuity Manual. The board is reronsible for making such changes the manual.

Some objections have been raised to the addition of the policy. "My main problem with the amendment was that students were not informed about its addition,' 3aid Amy Bigham, SG vice presiient. "I felt like students were not ncluded in the process. I just don't ;hink it was well-rounded...no inlications are made as to what the aenalty for students will be."

I believe it is a very logical, very reasonable piece of policy. I wouldn't say there's been a sustained, continuing probi lem anywhere. It just pops up from time to time."

Palms optimistic about semester WENDY HUDSON News Editor Athletics gains made during the winter break have led to a new level of excitement for the start of the semester, USC President John Palms said. "There is more enthusiasm about the university than there has been since I arrived," Palms said. "Ifs not just winning the Carquest Bowl. We just hired a new female soccer coach and got a $1 million donation to build seating at the soccer field." Palms said the national exposure the university has received will make students more excited about being members of the USC community. "That same excitement te m i should improve the quality of ~ the university," Palms said. IE I Tm asking students to help Jj/fk' us recru^ next yearns freshman class. We feel we have V the best institution in the state. V We want the very best stu dents at USC. We want to continue to upgrade the student Pa,ms body." USC has replaced the 105 faculty members who retired or took early retirement in the past year with several hundred new ones. "We have hired the best young faculty in the country," Palms said. "That makes us feel good. A number of the best retiring faculty have agreed to come back and teach a class and work with graduate students, as well. "Sure, it will be a loss. But the advantage of bringing in new faculty overshadows the loss of the older ones." Students should use that excitement to encourage high school students to attend the university, he said. Palms said he will spend the spring semester putting USC in the state's limelight, especially with the new Republican leadership in the State House. "I am going to play a leadership role in garneriner the most sunnort I can for the students in this university," he said. "I am going to work hard to create a relationship with the new governor ...and the newly elected members of the House and Senate. "I am the principal speaker for the university. I want to protect the integrity of the university. I want to articulate the ideas of the university in as forceful a way as I can." Students should take the opportunity this semester to explore and participate in the diversity USC offers, he said. "They should take risks and explore new worlds created from the diversity of students," Palms said. "We brag about our diversity, but we have to use it. We need to work with students to bring the excitement of diversity together." wm I " * 4 rr;t' S i **j| ^ vsv ^^tummi
