ASSOCIATED PRESS
BellSouth Corp. said Monday its
fourth-quarter profit rose nearly 10
percent before special items.
The company took a $1.08 billion charge
in the quarto* to help pay for eliminating
11,300 jobs during the next two years.
Its performance in the last quarter of
1994, meanwhile, was improved by the
sale of some international assets.
The charge led BellSouth's bottom
line into the red with a loss of $161
million, or 16 cents a share, for the quarter
ended Dec. 31. It earned $558 million,
or 56 cents a share, in the same period
in 1994.
Without the-special items, BellSouth
earned $564 million, or 57 cents per
share, in the latest quarter and $518
million, or 52 cents per share, a year
ago.
Revenue was $4.8 billion, compared
with $4.4 billion a year ago.
Wall Street analysts had forecast a profit
of 57 cents per share. BellSouth stock
closed down $1.37 1/2 to $40.62 1/2 on
the New York Stock Exchange.
The company continued to benefit
from the growing regional economy. The

For some, spring break is a chance
to have fun at the beach, but for those
participating in the alternative spring
break, it's a chance to meet new people
and help others.
Students, faculty and staff will live
together and volunteer during the week
of their spring break, March 2 to March
8. This is USCs fourth alternative spring
break.
Past trips have been to Boston and
Johns Island off the coast of South
Carolina.

)fits rise after
21 million in the quarter, the most of
any local phone company and up 913,000,
or 4.5 percent, from a year ago. Lines
for large businesses rose even faster, up
6.7 percent.
Its cellular operation grew 32 percent
to more than 2.8 million customers in
1995.
The company's operating expenses
were up nearly 9 percent compared to
a year ago because of higher marketing
costs and cleanup after Hurricane Opal
in October.
Like other phone companies,
BellSouth has been cutting staff and
expenses to prepare for more competition.
Hie company in November began cutting
11,500 of the 68,500 jobs in its main
phone subsidiary. Other units, including
the cellular business, are not affected
by the cuts.
For the year, BellSouth had a loss
of $15 billion, or $1.24 a share, compared
with earnings of $2.2 billion, or $2.18 a
share, in 1994.
Full-year revenues were $17.9 billion,
compared with $16.8 billion in 1994. 1
The losses now are necessaiy to maintain
long-term profits, said BellSouth '
Chairman John L. Clendenin.

Island last year.
"We painted the exteriors and interiors
of different homes, built steps, added
porches and tore out the inside of a house
that had burned down," Woodcock said.
"It's hard work, but vou foreet all that.
because you're having so much fun being
with the people you're working with."
The USC group worked from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m., slept in a day care center and
took turns cooking meals for each other.
Senior Murray Carlisle will be going '
on his third alternative spring break.
He said he likes travelling to different
places and meeting new people, but the
real reason he goes is to help others.

"Our strategies to grow our core
businesses while streamlining our
operations clearly paid off in 1995,"
Clendenin said.
"We're in great shape to continue to
thrive in the future," he added. "We're
focusing on what our customers need to
make their lives easier and their
businesses more profitable. We have
improved productivity dramatically,
while growing rapidly and maintaining
excellent service. And we are absolutely
committed to controlling costs."

In addition to the fourth-quarter
restructuring charge, the annual results
were affected by a $2.7 billion charge
related to changing its accounting
practices to those of an unregulated
company, a move that forced it to
depreciate some assets faster. Without
the special items, BellSouth earned $2.23
billion in 1995.
BellSouth is an international
telecommunications holding company,
and also offers local telephone service
through subsidiaries in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Tennessee.

"I like doing things for the social
good," Carlisle said. "I like knowing that
I can make a difference and others can
make a difference in people's lives."
The cost of the trip is $150. This covers
the cost of food, transportation and lodging.
Participants are involved in all stages
of planning the trip and must attend the
two planning meetings. The first will be
at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, in the Gressett
room on the third floor of Harper College.
The other meeting is scheduled for Feb. 7.
Alternative spring break is sponsored
by the office of community service
programs. For more information call
