INTERNATIONAL AWARD
USC professor Roy
Schwartzman received a 1996
Special Merit Award from the
Editorial Advisory Board of
Education.
The award recognizes
professors who make significant
contributions to educational
theory and practice. Recipients
are chosen based on their
submission to the journal.
Schwartzman's article
"Education and Gaming: A
Metaphorical Antidote to
Educational Consumerism" was
competitively selected by an
international panel of college
deans and scholars.
Schwartzman's article
focused on how metaphors can
shape educational practice. He
suggests that a framework of
gaming can improve the quality
of ed ucation more than
philosophies derived from
business.

The RJR proposal for voluntary

Union staff headquarters, and
from 1865 to 1868 the house of

The two dorms were saved

Legare College, on the south

Senate stresses
voting power
REGINNA GREEN Staff Writer
In the last presidential election less than
50% of America's registered voters took a trip
to the ballot box, according to Student Government
treasurer Peter Siachos.
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.
In addition to announcing the sponsorship

According to Phaup, the victim then

Phaup, who began working at the USC
