MATT PRUITT Staff Writer
The Student Senate will see revised
versions of two separate resolutions today.
One concerns the status of spring
break, and the other deals with student
activity fee reform.
The first resolution proposes to request
that USC move spring break to
the third week in March in order to place
it after midterms. The original resolution
was sent to the Student Services
Committee and then to the Academics
Committee for revisions after debate
arose about whether or not the change
would apply to the graduate students.
The revised version will be presented to
the senate today.
The resolution advocating Student
Activity Fee reform, presented last week,
has been reviewed and revised by the

LEONIA, N.J. (AP) ? He was sacked
for swigging the Snapple he was supposed
to be stocking in stores.
Now Kevin Simpkin has been seized
for allegedly swiping a Snapple delivery
truck while dressed in a Snapple
deliveryman's uniform.
"He just has an uncontrollable appetite
for Snapple beverages," Detective
Lt. August Greiner said. "He even
had a Snapple T-shirt depicting a bottle
of iced tea under his uniform. This
guy just loves Snapple."
Simpkin, 27, of Paterson stole the
unmanned truck outside a supermarket
in Fair Lawn on Monday, Greiner
said. The truck hit a utility pole in Hillsdale
and, when Simpkin continued toward
New York City, intending to sell
the truck and its contents, he made a

floor today. The legislation was sent to
committee after over an hour of debate.
The resolution was amended before being
sent to committee, but the amendment
could be eliminated by the committee.
At least three cabinet members should
come up for confirmation as well. All
cabinet positions should be filled by next
week.
In other Student Government news,
SG president Amy Bigham said her administration
is following up on the budget
cut battle. This includes writing letters
to all the in-state parents who lobbied
against the cut, as well as going
into the classrooms and informing the
students about current affaire between
the state house and student government.

said.
The truck was stopped in Leonia,
where Simpkin and his 17-year-old
nephew, who was with him, were arrested.
Greiner said Simpkin had recently
lost his job with Snapple's distribution
office in North Bergen because he
sampled the merchandise.
"I asked if he enjoyed working for
Snapple and he seemed agitated and
sighed," Greiner said. "But he seemed
more pleasant when he told how much
he loved Snapple and always kept a lot
of the drinks at home."
Simpkin was charged with theft
and receiving stolen property, and was
held on $25,000 bail. His nephew was
sent to a juvenile detention center.

GRADUATION continued from pa
Although graduates are moved quickly
through the ceremony, Sanderson said
it is disappointing to see families leave
before the ceremony ends.
By the time the last graduate walks
across the stage, there are not many people
left in the Coliseum, she said.
She encourages those attending to
stay for the entire ceremony.
Graduates receiving honors will be

and all undergraduates will be wearing
black robes and mortar boards with a
colored tassel for their college of study.
Before becoming alumni of the university,
seniors are invited to the President's
Garden Paity. This year, the party
will be held Tuesday, April 25.
Graduates should be watching their
mail around May 1st for seating information
and the specific time they should
arrive at the Coliseum for the commencement
ceremonies, Sanderson said.
Clemson will hold two graduation
ceremonies at Littlejohn Coliseum May
12th.
At 9:30 a.m., degree candidates in
forestiy, education, engineering and liberal
arts will receive their diplomas. At
the 2:30 ceremony, graduates in agricultural
science, architecture, commerce
and industry and nursing and sciences
will receive their degrees.

asked to stand along with fellow graduates
in their respective colleges.

Lasner said the college with the most
graduates this spring will be arts and
sciences.

Accoi-ding to Moore, economics seems
to be the most popular major this year.
Prior to the commencement, students
are invited to attend the Kudos Ceremony,
where students receive rewards
from their college, and the alumni cocktail
party.
Sen. Strom Thurmond will speak to
the graduates at Newberry's Eleazer

Seventy-five seniors are expected to

"Because our school is so large we
