Bates brid^
PIPKA BHAMBHAN1 Staff Writer
In Septemberl994, USC ordered the
destruction of the University Terrace Apartments
to make room for a parking garage
currently in construction.
A side effect of that decision was the
closing of the bridge that runs from the
Bates dorm area to the center of campus
around the Russell House and Thomas
Cooper Library. The bridge was supposed
to reopen by the first of this month.
"The bridge was closed for the removal
of the walkway," said Ed Bass, assistant
director of Facilities Management for Con
struction Services. "Workers needed to
buiy steam lines and chilled water for the
air conditioning and lessen the inclination
of the walkway to make it handicap accessible."
That job would have been done by now
if unexpected projects within the plan
hadn't popped up.

MARTHA HOTOP Asst. News Editor
Students interested in Dursuiner errad
uate studies in education should consider
applying for the prestigious Mellon Fellowship.
The Mellon Fellowship was established
and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
to help promising students prepare
for a career in teaching or scholarship.
By providing competitive awards to
top students in the areas of scholarship in
humanistic studies the Foundation hopes
to contribute to the continuity of teaching
and research in America's institutions and
universities.
The Foundation plans to award 80 Fellowships
to students who will begin their
graduate career in the fall of 1996. Applicants
must be U.S. citizens and must
plan on entering a program in one of several
humanistic fields.
Fellowship winners receive a one year
stipend of $13,500 in addition to tuition
and other mandated fees. During the aca

"We had origiiially hoped to have it open
by Oct. 1 but some unforeseen conditions
in the plans prevented us from proceeding.
When the first walkway was built in
the 1960's it was built over old concrete
steps and pipes. So the work was increased,
delaying the reopening of the bridge. "We
hope to in the next two weeks get it open,
at least temporarily," said David Lindsay,
project manager for the new parking garage.
Students will be able to use the walkway
in about two weeks, but until late
spring or early summer, when the walkway
modification is finished, there will be
several temporary detours or short closings.
When its ail over, USC will have a
brand new parking garage and a brick
walkway on the Bates bridge that will once
again provide easy access from south campus
to the center of campus.
