Cass, an in-coming freshman, is the recipient of USC's Hootie and the r?i e _.i_//^i 1 t? i oil i ciownsn/^aroiyn ruicxer ocnoiarsmp. The $8,000 scholarship was financed with the proceeds from the sale of Tshirts sold during Hootie's MTV "Unplugged" concert, taped at USC April 19. "I was really excited when I found out about this," Cass, who was graduated fourth in her class of more than 180 at Wallhalla High School, said.

"I could probably have gotten loans, but a scholarship doesn't have to be paid back," Cass said. Mark Zenow, director of public relations for Hootie, said the band wanted the scholarship to go to a student who has an outstanding academic record and financial need.

"This scholarship ties into their goodwill nature."" Instead of being called the Hootie and the Blowfish scholarship, the band wanted the name of Carolyn Rucker, lead singer Darius Rucker's late mother, to be included.

"After USC explained to me the rea son why the band established the scholarship, that made it even more special," Cass said. Cass' name was chosen for the scholarship via computer said Char Davis, director of enrollment management services at USC. USC offers hundreds of scholarships with specific criteria. The computer matches students withscholarships for which they are most qualified. "In the case of the Hootie/Rucker scholarship, the computer looked for the student with the highest acade mic record and with the greatest financial need," Davis said. Cass also has received the $5,000 Palmetto Fellowship, Davis said. "She went from not knowing how she was going to pay for school to having almost all of her expenses covered," Davis said. riMSWICK ipitol Lanes Invites vnn tn bowl with us n? re mm Join us for MHHi HMDS ran Inesdays & Thursdays 9 p.m. - Until $2 per game
