Newberry students park in lots. There are no assigned spaces or meters. Students purchase an $8 parking permit that is valid for the entire year, including summer school. All parking violation tickets are $20. Shealy said the campus lots are well lit. Even though there are 90 parking ots on campus, parking is definitely a problem, said James Tardy, manager of Parking Services. "Our campus is broken down into three regions: north, central and south," Tardy said. "Each of these areas contain prime parking spaces where staff and faculty park for a fee." While faculty get prime parking, students aren't as lucky. "Housing students pay $15 per year o park on campus; these spots are not lesignated," Tardy said. "Grad students pay $9 to parkin grad lots around ampus, and commuter students park n lots around the outskirts of cam)US." At UGA, there are two parking garages on campus and one being built "At the garage closest to the dorms, itudents pay $75 per quarter for a guaranteed spot and $200 per year for he other garage for a guaranteed spot," Tardy said. urski11;+ jllie pai iviug gai agco aic tycii nu ind are as safe as they can be for "a aty within a city," Tardy said.

"This will allow them to ride the university buses without a fee and ride the city buses without a fee." UGA has about 30 Campus Transit buses that trayel around campus ... until midnight, and these supplement ' campus parking. There are no parking meters on campus. It's all about supply and demand at UF, said Greg DuBois, director of Administrative Services. Faculty, staff and students can park in one of eight parking garages or any of the surface parking lots around campus. Ground will be broken for a ninth parking garage next week, a $10 million facility. With the addition of the new garage, UF will have about 20,000 parking spaces on campus, DuBois said. "We sell parking decals to anyone who wants them for $56 per year," DuBois said "It is on a first-come, firstserved basis, and we sell more decals than there are spaces...so parking is rlofinitolv an ioana nn i>9mnna " Faculty pay $116 per year for the privilege to park on campus. "They are treated the same as students because their lots are also on a first-come, first-served basis," DuBois said. . Parking safety is taken seriously atUF. "Generally speaking, our campus is well lit," DuBois said. "Every year, we get more money to make improvements in lighting. The two new garages we built are so well lit at night that it looks like daylight." USC students shouldn't be upset when they have to pay a $3 parking meter violation; at UF, students have to pay $5. ture and becoming a naturalist for a week. "Our biggest concept is to promote lifelong learning, which is the mission of the university," Williams said. lections id ay. you. Friday, Feb. 17 Larceny, Pendleton garage.

News Editor Two USC students were selected as finalists for two prestigious national scholarships. Steven Burritt, a broadcasting junior, is a finalist for the Truman Scholarship, and Jody Tate, an English and history senior, is a finalist for the British Marshall Scholarship. Burritt is one of two South Car olinians to be selected as a finalist for the Truman Scholarship. "When they called and told me I had been selected as a Truman finalist, I was shocked," Burritt said. "I had begun getting more and more pessimistic since I had turned in my application, because I started thinking of things I didn't do well enough on. "Plus, I figured the other nominee from USC had a much better chance than I did. So I was relieved." The Truman Scholarship is based on suDerior academic ability, a strong record of service and leadership, and plans for a career in public service. All potential candidates were evaluated andjiominated by a USC faculty committee before entering the national ( competition. Burritt interviewed for the schol- j arship in January in Atlanta. "I went thorugh really rigorous practice interviews here with the faculty s committee that helped me," Burritt ( said. "After each of those, I felt like a J truck had hit me. I was expecting to come out of the real Truman interview 1 feeling the same way. I actually walked 1 out saying, vHey, I did OK.m ' Truman scholars will be announced ( in late March.

Saying cigarettes are a legal product, the nation's biggest cigarette makers asked the Florida Supreme Court Monday to stop the state from suing tobacco pnmnoni oq fnr <fcl AQ Killinn 1V1 v* WliUWU. The state is expected to file the landmark lawsuit Tuesday in West Palm Beach to try to recover the costs of treating welfare recipients who get sick from smoking. Philip Morris Inc. and RJ. Reynolds Tobacco Co. turned to the state's high court, arguing that neither the state Agency for Health Care Administration nor the Department of Business of Professional Regulation had the authority to file the lawsuit. A law passed last year by the Florida Legislature makes it easier for the state to win a court victory over tobacco companies. Florida is the first state to have such a law to help prove its case. of Investigation arrest of a student in Sc her residence hall room. w; va Burglary, College of Business Administration.

Students fail presidential history quiz LOS ANGELES (AP)?As the nation celebrated Presidents Day on Monday, a sampling of students at schools named after former commanders-inchief shewed White House history doesn't pack much punch. "You mean Cleveland High was named after a former president?" asked Mildred Monroy, a junior at Grover Cleveland High School. "I always thought it was named after that city in Canada." "John Adams? He's dead. That's all I know," said 14-year-old Nazrio Carillo, a student at John Adams Middle School. James Monroe High School teacher Caryn Cornell offered to let students in her detention class out early if they could tell her who Monroe was. "Fifteen kids and nobody knew. Nobody.

Defining mission is the second qualification of a leader, he said. Creating jobs for the poor should be a mission for today's church, Campolo said. "I am angry with a society where I am told constantly that people don't want to work," he said. The truth is, there are no jobs. We are calling the church to redefine their mission in respond to the needs. "A good leader, whether in home, business or school, will not only create order but define its mission."

"A good leader creates a deep sense of caring, really caring," he said "They will create that sense of just plain caring about people." to stop suit the state's claims. The law removes the major defenses of companies, that some of the blame for health problems falls on the smoker. Business groups said the law affects more than just cigarette makers and could expose virtually any industry to a lawsuit. They also say private lawyers stand to gain the most because they can receive up to 30 percent of any award if they succeed in court. The governor has disagreed about the scope of the law, but is prepared to narrow it during the legislative session to apply only to tobacco. Chiles has enlisted a dozen law firms to represent the state at no cost.
