The USC Board of Trustees 1
assed an amendment Dec 9 to the
acuity Manual barring consenlal
relations between faculty memars
and students.
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.
"I think it's best for both stunts
and faculty," said journalism

"It's simple recognition of the
fact that in certain circumstances
those kinds of situations can occur
and that they are wrong and should
not occur because of the enormous
pressure involved, particularly or
the students."
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

are made as to what the
aenalty for students will be."
Bigham foresees problems with
inferring the policy.

"Also, the amendment doesn't pros

also responsible?"

of such cases. I believe it
is a very logical, very reasonable
piece of policy. I wouldn't say there's

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."
