WEDGE continued from page 1 of the "Save the Wedge" campaign. The ] campaign, designed not to raise funds 1 but to raise awareness about the Wedge, was begun during the spring of this year 1 as a response to the announced closing 1 of the program by the Provost office. < "Initially, we wanted to save the ' property and the program," Sy said, i Responses came in from all over the i world, much less the United States. about keeping the program alive. That was the focus of "Save the Wedge;" to hopefully change the USC 1 administration's mind through letters and proclamations. Recently, according to Sy, a Charleston newspaper published an editorial about saving the Wedge. The rest of the vector borne disease research world is very interested in the survival of the Wedge. The World Health Organization sends students abroad to USC for short courses. Those will end along with programs for USC Public Health students. "I think it is short-sightedness by the administration," Sy said. The reason being is that the Center of Disease Control in Atlanta has announced plans for surveillance and training for infectious diseases. Sy said that most infectious diseases are vector borne diseases. Because USC will be withouta training facility, and soon the JLyMMHH I Swina y< bikes in FREE check-o\ and accc ST.

Although the campaign to save the St Wedge has ended, Sy and others hope that the university will retain ownership of the plantation for its historic registry. Die group wants to honor the previous owner of the land and plantation that sold it to the university at a generous ^ price. SG If the university does not retain ownership of the Wedge, the Board of ? Trustees is looking for other owners. ^ Three possibilities have been mentioned: the U.S. Forestry Service, Interests of Historic Preservationists, or owners of ^ other plantations. Funding has been cut for the Wedge as they prepare to wrap up their programs. It is now operating on about ? $150,000 as opposed to over $500,000 ? in the Dast. sp "This funding enables us to continue minimal staffing and maintance of the co Wedge property until we determine its ai future. Previously, the Wedge funding exceeded $500,000 per year," stated cc President John Palms in a budget K analysis memo to the Board of Trustees. ] Coston called the Wedge decision to ai end programs a very logically one. "When you don't have money, you B don't have a program," he said. $' our ^ rers jssory pad FIVE POINTS s 616 Harden St. (across from Groucho's) (Spri AP / AP P T Russell ZJO-VJJ/ i :udent " " i . ?..; get your rlbution Scheduielpro G MS8$ Aug. 26,27y28 Sepl3f ll#?Augk26,27^28 Sept 3c I2H Sept 9,10,11^16,17,1! #21Sept 16, im 23,2#; ;ti2!!Sept 30, Oct. /gSept 30, Oct. 1,2,7,8,1 3av?No Classes ^lpFall BreakjrNojC^^^M -Aug, 26,27,28, Sept, 3j|U?j For more con Stu :j Mat the F II Student t The Gamecock H?|m\a] Criminal Justic< aff Reports Palms. the Co] Dr. Blease Graham Jr. has been out^tari med dean of the University of South eri irolina's College of Criminal Justice.
