This year, USC will take a slightly different approach to the annual occasion that recognizes our valuable members of the armed forces. It's a salute to the U.S. military with a special tribute to Capt. Scott O'Grady, who was shot down over Bosnia this summer and lived on bugs while hiding from enemies. Carolina fans might even trade their garnet and black for red, white and blue to observe this year's Veterans ?1 Day. "It ought to be an emotional moment." said Dennis imecock Pruitt, vice president of Student Affairs. Not only will USC's marching band capture fans with a show, but representatives from each of the armed forces Ewill play their hymns as a special addition. The USC chorus will sing a patriotic piece and Kimberly Aiken, former Miss America, is scheduled to enhance the patriotism with a song. "ItH all come together," said Pruitt. Gov. David Beasley, USC President John Palms and Athletics Director Mike McGee will escort O'Grady to the field. He will also be presented with a copy of the Carolinian Creed earlier in the day by Student Government President Amv Ricrhnm I "I'm in the National Guard.

Athletic facility to open in January MIKE O'CONNELL Staff Writer The start of the USC men's basketball season is Mon day, leaving some people to wonder why a steam roller, dump trucks and a backhoe are still active on the site of the new practice facility. For the time being, until the new facility opens in January, the men's team will practice in the Blatt P.E. Center as they have done in the past, said USC facilities manat and ager, Charles JefFcoat. He said the contractor hopes to 3es be- have the whole project completed in January, but he will curity. at least have finished the basketball court, crime The building will be used for the men's and women's ips can basketball teams, their coaches' offices and for the volleyball team, JefFcoat said.
