The changes include the destruction of old buildings, such as the Towers, and construction of new buildings to meet USC's expanded needs, such as the National Advocacy Center being built near the B.A. building. Other improvements around campus consist of new parking facilities and a number of new residence halls. Along with the new residence halls being constructed, some of the older buildings, such as Preston and Maxcy, have been and are currently being renovated. The first of the new residence halls will be built behind the Blossom Street garage. Those halls will have to be finished before the Towers can be completely destroyed. "We can't tear down the rest of the towers until we have new housing in place," said Charlie Jeffcoat, director of Facilities Management. "We hope we can do a continuous redevelopment of housing." irgef to MWii- m: . ; ; ; Mir irs for illilll Jlililf llSf .jf JP* 'arent! 11 rccKcn 1996 ptember 20 ceire informati< all of the great ed up for you di m jm 4 ixcmng weeken ormation call the Parei : toll free at 1-800-868: forward to seeii rents' Weekend , Monday, June 3, 1996 p ifiii si Bumey residence halls, two "honeycomb! isited: How far aillion dream?

The film, which thrills audiences with several j J* Oil 1 _V . _x1 1 J__ 1 1 representations 01 tnese wmriing weatner-Deasts, sparxea discussion about the real life dangers of tornadoes. Bill Bartlett, director of emergenty community services with the central S.C. chapter of the American Red Cross, says the organization hopes the film will encourage local movie-goers to rethink some commonly believed folk wisdom about tornadoes. "Over the years, South Carolinians have picked up some interesting myths about tornadoes," Bartlett said. "Since we're dealing with a powerful, extremely unpredictable, sometimes lethal force of nature, it's not surprising that a mythology has grown up around it. But these beliefs do not help us keep South Carolina families safe." According to Bartlett: Tornadoes do not routinely suck houses up into the fiinnel They can, however, blow large objects, including cars and tractor trailers, hundreds of feet.

Twisters strick all of America's "lower 48" states and every county in South Carolina. "In the U.S., the American Red Cross deals with more than 1,000 damaging tornadoes each year," Bartlett said. "Tornadoes cause more injuries than any other natural hazard. Only flooding causes more deaths each year." The Southwest corner of your basement is just as safe as any low-lying place in your house. "The safest place to be is as low as possible and away from windows," Bartlett said. "One side of your basement is no more dangerous than any other. A highway underpass does not offer drivers a safe haven. 1 "T-flrcrp rhnnlcs nf hlnwincr Hehris form a maior danger during a tornado...we recommend that motorists leave their cars and head for the nearest ditch. Most of us hate the thought of throwing ourselves into a wet ditch, but it would be better to be wet, dirty and safe, than clean, dry and badly injured," Bartlett said. Tornadoes do not cause houses to explode because of radical differences in the air pressure. "Leave your windows alone," Bartlett said.
