As the established front-runner, Salt

Salt Lake City is bidding for the fourth
time in 30 years. Four years ago, the city
narrowly lost to Nagano, Japan, for the
right to host the 1998 Winter Games
Tom Welch, heading the Salt Lake
effort for the second straight time, said
Monday that the city deserves to be selected
this time because it has completed
all the venues and projects it premised
during the previous bid.
"We talked the talk in the last campaign,"
Welch said. "Since then, we walked
the walk... In 1991, we had great plans.
In 1995, we have made these plans sporting
reality.
"We have fulfilled every commitment
we have made. I believe that ought to
be and will be recognized by the IOC. I
have every reason to believe that we will

be rewarded by the IOC in June."
If Salt Lake City loses, however,
Welch ruled out another bid for the 2006
Games. If s the first time he has explicitly
done so.
"WeH take a breather," he said. "Well
let someone else take the baton ... We'll
leave it to another time, another gener
ation."
Welch said Salt Lake City has spent
around $14 million on the last two bids
and would be unwilling to invest in yet
another attempt. ,
"10 years" he said. "Every dollar we
have spent has been privately donated.
If we are not selected for 2002, it will be
time to turn those resources to other issues."
All nine bidding cities made presen
tations Monday to the 10-man IOC selection
committee. The panel will choose
the four finalists Tuesday ? by consensus
if possible, otherwise by secret
ballot.
The decision is expected to be influenced
greatly by an IOC evaluation report
issued last month which assessed
the technical merits of each bid. The report
gave Salt Lake City the highest
marks, while Ostersund, Quebec and
Sion also received positive evaluations.

Students should begin applying now
for next school year's financial aid, said
Bob Godfrey, associate director of the
USC Office of Student Financial Aid and
Scholarships. Applications are now available.
USC has declared April 15 as the priority
deadline for applications.
"Students who file by this date will
be considered for the best financial aid
package we can put together," Godfrey
said. "Once they get beyond the 15th,
funds begin to run out."

help for the fall semester. After the first,
however, the office can't assure students
aid for the fall semester. Students then
will have to wait until after fall registration
before major aid consideration
is re-established.
Student financial aid at USC is on the
increase, Godfrey said. This upswing has
led the U.S. Department of Education to
implement a renewal form as a time-saver
for students.
The complexity of the financial aid
system has made communication of program
boundaries a necessity. Students
who receive loans, for example, may not
be aware that they are expected to pay
the loan back with annually-evaluated

ate director of student development.
"The bulk of the costs associated
with hosting a course occurs at the beginning
of the term. The demand for a
seat in class goes down as time passes."
Students considering withdrawing
from the university shouldn't withdraw
through HPS, because only a "WF" will
be recorded. However, students who
leave the university can return the next
semester.
"As long as they are in good academic
standing, an undergraduate can return
for the next semester," withdrawals
disciplines specialist Christine Scott
said. "If they miss two (or more) major
semesters, they must reapply to the university."
Full- and part-time graduate students
considering withdrawal should
contact their graduate director.

LUMBIA (AP) ? A divided South
rolina Supreme Court ruled Monday
it video gambling machines resemtig
slot machines are illegal, a move
.ustry officials said could outlaw more
in half the machines statewide.
The court ruled 3-2 that state law
xnfically banned slot machines when
ilso banned games of chance.
The dissenting justices disagreed,
ing with a lower court that said slot>e
games are no different than poker
le games. Monday's ruling reaffirmed
i high court's previous stance that
ter-style games are legal.
Solicitor Joe Watson of Greenville
d Pickens counties, who pressed the
je, said he expected the ruling could
pe out 80 percent of the industry. As
iny as 17,000 of the 22,000 machines
itewide could be affected, industry ofials
said.
The machines will just be switched
poker instead of slots, said Hugh An;ws,
a Spartanburg game distributor.
Watson, who seized eight of the maines
from Greenville County game
ims in 1991, said owners should start
w to get the slot-style games out of
sir businesses.
"I may give them a grace period, a
>nth or two, to get them out. I don't
end to send the sheriff out and seize
?rv mnrhinp in thp rnnntv this nftpr
on," Watson said.
Andrews, who has sold more than
,000 machines in the past decade, eslated
that from 60 percent to 80 perlt
of the video gambling games in the
ite are slot machines, rather than pokgames.
The machines were made to look and
rk like slot machines, the court found
e start of play makes several screens
n. If certain symbols or pictures match
len the spinning screens stop, the playgets
a free play.
"The General Assembly has declared
it machines unlawful. Respondents'
istruction of the statute equating the
it machines in question with a Video
me with free play feature' is untenle,"
the ruling said.
In 1991, the court ruled that free
lys can be cashed in for money. That
ated a boom in video poker with 28,000
mes by 1993 and the creation of a mul
aillion industry.
