Dickey to s| TINA MORGAN Staff Writer The University of South Carolina's December graduation is turning into an international event. Poet and novelist James Dickey, a member of the n ! v_/?truiina community smce iyoo, will be the keynote speaker of the Dec. 18 event in the Carolina Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. Dickey, a veteran of war and graduate of Vanderbilt University, taught at Rice University and was an advertising executive before he published his first poetry collection, "Into the Stone and Other Poems." Other works such as "Buckdancer's Choice" brought Dickey fame as the 1966 National Book Award for Poetry recipient. His 1970 book "Deliverance" received the Prix Medicis award in France and was made into a 1972 movie that received an Academy Award nomination. USC recognized Dickey's literary achievements in 1990 with an honorary degree. This year's honorary degree recipient is Atlanta Police Chief Beverly Harvard. Harvard is the first, and currently the only, African-American woman to head a major metropolitan police department in the country. She will be given an honorary doctor of public service degree. one joined the Atlanta Police TABLOID STAFF Editor-in-Chief Direct Wendy Hudson Tabloid Editor C Keith Boudreaux f Assistant Tabloid Editor i Tina Morgan Look 101 MM-ME J i nonaayi perinse Friday's i of ?6affc Iieak at com USD TOTALS Numbers oi degrees per campus: Columbia 1224 Aiken 222 Spartanburg 250 Beaufort 38 I -<-7 i_ai luaoioi I I Salkehatchie 12 Sumter 70 Union 7 Graduate 839 Law 20 Medical 4 Total 2703 ETHAN MYERSON The Gamecod Harvard has served as an affirmative action specialist, public affairs director and deputy chiei ot police in charge of the career development division.

The commencement ceremony will also reunite 25 South Korean students who will receive their master's of social work degree and the 11 professors who spent their summers teaching the students in South Korea during six-week summer sessions. The Carolina graduates will visit the USC campus for the first time after completing an experimental project between the USC College of Social Work and the King Nam University, the largest and oldest undergraduate social work education program in South Korea. or of Student Media I Chris Carroll | CO raphics Editor H| Design Editor jjStfk issue Ik cock | mencement I the three-year project. ? The new program gave USC faculty a unique opportunity to work creatively and travel. "This program helped us be creative," said Dr. Jerry Randolph, an associate professor in USC's College of Social Work. "It has forced us to teach in different ways. As a professor, I have gotten a great understanding of cultural barriers and diversity." "Most students in the program don't speak English," Dr. Frank Raymond, dean of USC's . College of Social Work said. "Lectures have to be translated in Korean by individuals who . are natives of Korea but have doctorates and master's degrees in social work from the United States." The Korean graduates will be joined by a 52-member Korean Children's Choir under the direction of Professor Hak-Yon Yoon. The choir will sing the national anthem for the Dec. 18 ceremony and will give a public performance at the Koger Center on Tuesday, Dec. 19. In all, USC expects to award over 2,700 degrees. Not all recipients will be present at the ceremony, however, because the December graduation in Columbia is a compilation of all USC regional campuses.
