Schwartzman's article focused on how metaphors can shape educational practice.

The University of South Carolina was founded in 1801, and the original campus is located in the bricked-in Horseshoe. The Horseshoe is located at Sumter Street between Pendleton and Devine Streets, and extends to Pickens and Main Streets. The Horseshoe was styled after English Universities. Rutlege College, 1805 and DeSaussure College, 1807 are the two oldest dormitories on campus. In 1805, the university opened in Rutledge College with only two professors and nine students.

The two dorms were saved from Sherman's wrath in 1865 because they housed Federal and Confederate wounded.

SiopVino in nrnmntinor rlisniofiirm nhnilt frViP Senate's second resolution of the semester, SPO 0 22, which designates SG sponsorship of a massive voter registration drive to be held next week on September 24-26, cited the 24th anniversary of the 26th amendment to the Constitution. "The 26th amendment gave 18 year-olds, college-aged students like you, the right to vote," Siachos said to Student Senators in Wednesday nighfs meeting of Senate. "Our greatest duty in a democratic society is to exercise the right to vote," he continued. The effort to get students registered to vote is fueled by the lowest voter turnouts in American history: the 1988 Presidential election and the 1994 general elections, according to Siachos. "There will be very, very challenging issues facing us in the 21st century. Our response to those issues should be to vote," Siachos said. "We have a role to play in trying to get students to exercise their right to vote. The NAACP has already started [promoting voter registration! ... we're going to continue that," he continued. According to Siachos, the voter registration drive will feature voter registration cards which can be sent to the student's permanent home address in South Carolina. Prior to the 1993 Motor Voter bill, which allowed people to register upon renewal of their driver's license and made it no longer a requirement to have someone from your county witness your registration, students could not register in one county to vote in another. Even though the Motor Voter bill was proposed to make voter registration and participation easier, the general elections following the bill's passage in Congress had the second lowest voter turnout ever. Siachos hopes to make things even more easier for students. "We need to try to make it easier, to try to encourage students to exercise their right to vote," Siachos emphasized. It may certainly be easier for USCs many out-of-state students who have yet to register. According to Siachos, voter registration cards will not be available for those students from outside of South Carolina, but by calling the toll-free number 1-800-REGISTER (1-800-73447837), which is a public service of MTVs Rock the Vote and 1-800-COLLECT, students can receive information regarding the voter registration policies of their home states.. "The way to let them [elected officials] know that our voice does count is to vote," Siachos said in closing.
