WASHINGTON (AP)?Hard-pressed to attract the
money and talent necessary for a strong campaign,
former Vice President Dan Quayle abruptly reversed
course Thursday and said he would not seek the
1996 Republican presidential nomination.
Quayle's decision came less than three weeks after
he vowed to campaign aggressively as a voice for
the conservative "unsilent majority" that he said was
appalled at the decline of the family and the liberal
bent of the social welfare system.
In a statement, Quayle said he was confident he
could have waged a winning campaign if he had subjected
himself to a grueling fund-raising schedule

and to forego the disruption to our lives that a third
straight national campaign would create," he said.
Advisers, associates and Republican operatives,
however, said it became clear as Quayle geared up
to run that the fund-raising outlook was bleak, and
that he also was having a hard time convincing seasoned
campaign operatives to sign on. A new, frontloaded
GOP primary calendar has put a premium
on early fund-raising, a difficult process cited by several
others who recently bowed out, including fellow
Bush administration alumni Jack Kemp and Dick
Cheney.

NOTEBOOK
Fire alarm at Sumwalt result of heater failure
The fire alarm that evacuated the Sumwalt building
Thursday morning resulted from a malfunction
in the heating unit.
The Columbia Fire Department said the cause of
the malfunction was a worn fan belt that snapped.
Prior to its breaking, the belt caused a burning odor
and a light smoke to infiltrate the building. No injuries
were reported.
USC won't be billed under the new ordinance that
requires a $100 fee each time the fire department
comes out unnecessarily.
Phone books can be recycled
You can help the environment by recycling your
old directory through Keep America Beautiful's
fourth-annual telephone recycling program.
Through Feb. 28, students, faculty and staff can

the marathon.
The Residence Hall Association plans to encourage student Kno
participation in the marathon by providing pretzel and pop- Abb
corn machines and music outside of the Russell House. RHA
also is asking each residence hall to make a banner for a dif- 1SI

"We want to encourage all students to get out and get involved
in the marathon and promote the Carolina spirit," said
freshman Jacqueline Rice, who is involved with RHA.
RHA also will provide several water stops for the runners.
This championship will be one of the qualifying races for
the 1996 Women's USA Olympic Marathon Trials, which will
be in Columbia next year. Several of the women running Saturday
have already qualified for the Olympic Trials. hours
The first 15 finishers will receive cash prizes ranging from ^

My campaign for Vice President is centered
around one central theme: CHANGE! ML _ _ J pi
As your Vice President, I plan to bring \ ) (ti
about needed changes in student govern- I ? . " U tj
ment which will assure a more successful \ Jg ^
I chose to run for this office because I jm!L ti
was tired of student government as usu- 01
al. Every year, we have an election; we gj
hear the same promises being made with CAVANAUGH
the same result. I am not going to make ai
you empty promises. What I am going to do is make sure that m
the job of the Vice President is done effectively and to the best p]
of my ability. My platform is basic, and deals specifically with
the job description of the Vice President.
My first issue is senate reform. Over the past four years, I
have seen the senate dwindle in numbers, output and ac- 01
countability. I want to change this. My main concern with this
body is that it has lost touch with you, the student. They have a
been elected to represent your interests, not their own.
Faculty senate representation is a big issue in my campaign.
The faculty and the administration need to hear our voices, not w
just see our bodies. By making sure one student senator has a
voice in the faculty senate, whether that be a voting voice or si
not, we can be sure that they hear our voice.
I would like to see an up-to-date and accurate senate journal.
One which you could go into student government and ask
to see and not get the runaround. You need to know what's go- w
ingon.
I intend to use my position as vice president to influence stu- w
dent legislation to improve parking garages and facilities at
USC and campus safety. While at USC, I have seen the fee to e\
park in Blossom Garage go from $100 to $160 while the upkeep
and safety of the garage has decreased rapidly. I plan to ci
improve campus safety by placing more call boxes on campus. ai
HI do this by giving my $1,500 stipend. in
I encourage you to vote Thursday, Feb. 16 and help me in oi
bringing about the much needed change in student government. w
Thank you for your support and remember to vote "CAV" for
vice president, so together we can make student government th
work for us. if

I call my platform "the plan for progress,"
because it includes many improvements that SIACHOS
would affect all students at USC. This plan
includes senate finance reform, parking improvements, student dining
improvements and student safety. The most important of these
proposals is the placement of call boxes in all garages. Also in the
area of student safety is the establishment of a shuttle service tc
Five Points.
The most serious obstacle to the call,boxes would be the cost.
Nevertheless, I believe Parking and Vehicle Registration would be
willing to work with student government on this improvement, as
the cost of a call box is roughly equal to a year's rent for one garage

ent government, and this is important, but I have
imething else which is vital as well. I have innova
on and motivation which combined can help to build I
[i the accomplishments the current leadership has I
lown. ^
The theme of my campaign is Pride in Carolina SHIVELY
nd is concentrated upon three main issues: acadelics,
the campus and student involvement. To give a perspective of my
latform, I have outlined it as follows:
Academics:
Fight tuition hikes and promote more money for higher education.
Compile a faculty evaluation manual available in either book form
* through e-mail.
Grade awareness requiring professors to notify students if they have
"D" or an "F" before the last withdrawal date.
Campus:
More food, more places by setting up a committee of students that
ould work directly with Marriott.
Carolina community shuffle concentrating on areas such as Univerty
Commons.
Mail-out recycling of colored pamphlets and fliers.
Student involvement:
Council of organizations to promote more interaction among groups
ith common interests.
Senate accountability to encourage a more team-building atmosphere
ithin the student senate.
Community service week in which students can interact through
rents sponsored by service-based organizations.
I am running for vice president because I want to see these plans exeited,
but more importantly because I want to see a more collective effort
nong the students on this campus. I believe it is important to have pride
yourself and in the organization you represent, but it is vital that these
ganizations come together with a common purpose and a common goal,
hich is to have Pride in Carolina.
I would like to thank the organizations which have let me speak and
le students who have supported me thus far. Finally, I give my word that
elected Feb. 16,1 will make a difference on this campus.
space. Parking and Vehicle Registration has long been a profit center
for the university, and it could provide us with safety and service
in return.
In addition, there are liability issues impending the establishment
of a Five Points shuttle. In the event that the liability obstacle
is insurmountable, I have a backup plan in place. A taxi voucher
system would allow students to benefit from the buying power
of the entire student body.
Also in the plan for progress is a restaurant at the Coliseum and
a late-night restaurant at the Russell House. These dining enhancements
would provide an option to students with classes in the
Coliseum and would give all students the flexibility to use their
meal plans and cash cards for late-night dining.
, Senate finance reform deals with the distribution of the $35 ac(
tivity fee which all students pay on their tuition. I feel that reform
is necessary in this area to make certain that all student activity
fees are being distributed fairly and efficiently.
I am the candidate with the qualifications to preside over the
1 student senate and the plan for progress which will serve all students.
I hope you will consider me when you vote Feb. 16.

new name
MARTHA HOTOP Staff Writer
A subcommittee of the Board of
Trustees voted Thursday to change the
names of two schools, one on the Columbia
campus and the other at Spartanburg.
The Academic Affairs and Faculty Liaison
Committee agreed to change the
name of the department of civil engineering
to the department of civil and
environmental engineering.
Dean Humphries, dean of the engineering
college, proposed the change as
a result of the increase of students who
are now taking the environmental track,
as opposed to the civil track.
"The request reflects the student interest
level," Humphries said. "More than
half the people in civil engineering are
in the environmental track. Ten years
ago, we had a similar situation with the
ucpai tiiiciit ui eieuu iuai anu uumpuiei
engineering."
If the fall board votes to change the
name at its meeting Feb. 23, the college
isn't expecting any additional costs or
the need for additional faculty. The name
change will make it easier for high school
students to distinguish the various tracks
in the engineering college, Humphries
said.
The board also voted to change the
name of the School for Humanities and
Sciences at Spartanburg to the College
of Arts and Science. The opening of a
deanship was a contributing factor to the
need to change the school's name, said
John Stockwell, chancellor at USC-Spartanburg.
The title 'college' demonstrates a centrality
in the body of knowledge at the
institution," Stockwell said.
Spartanburg considers arts and science
to be its core subjects. USC-Aiken
also calls its school the College of Arts
and Science.
Academic integrity on the Columbia
campus was another issue addressed.
Beginning in 1992, a survey showed there
was a nationwide problem with cheating
on college campuses. USC decided to
revise its policy after discovering that
most professors were individually dealing
with students caught cheating, instead
of turning the students into the
deans of the various colleges.
Under the new policy, the all deans
must follow the same procedural rules.
Board members felt that with a standard
policy, deans wouldn't have to worry
about problems that arose from confronting
students caught cheating. With
the integrity policy, professors don t need
to worry about disciplining students. Professors
also retain control of what grades
students receive.
Ifs up to professors to stress integrity
in their syllabuses and at the start of
the semester. There has been a broader
effort made at orientation and in University
101 classes to stress academic integrity.
Since the increase in awareness
of academic integrity, more disciplinary
action has been taken.
Last school year, there were eight actions
taken concerning academic integrity.
So far this school year, there have been
16 reported crses, according to the board.
