"The graduate students wanted more
money for speeches, research projects
and this is a way of giving them more
money. At the same time, we're giving
a large chunk of this money to the <

said.
According to the treasurer,

close to 100,000 dollars more than last
year as a direct result of his programs.

"Really and truly, the treasurer's

" There's lots of work that needs to
be done on finances, but there's also lots
of work that needs to be done around
campus, like the voter registration drive,

SNAKES continued from page 1
Smith also has thirteen baby
Canebrake Rattlesnakes, and one adult
one.
According to Smith, someone in
South Carolina called USC and told
the school that he had found a "bunch
of baby rattlers." Smith made the
arrangements to pick up the snakes,
and when he arrived, he found all
thirteen waiting in a large bucket.
"I met the person there, and he
said, Would you like to see where the
babies came from?' I said, 'Sure!',"
Smith said.
" So we go back behind this house,
where it's quite wooded, and there's
this big stump left over from where a
tree had fallen over. He had found
these snakes on top of the stump,"

according to Jim Nicols, a board member

Because Anderson "had so much
fun in high school" and was able to
"make a difference in someone's life,"
she and Mary got together their
sophomore year at Carolina and
reestablished Habitat for Humanity
on campus. Their goal, according to
Shirley is to build a house every year,
starting now with the "first annual
Habitat house" from the USC Chapter.
Habitat for Humanity was founded
in 1976 by Millard Fuller. Fuller was
an extremely rich man who decided,
when his family threatened to leave
him because of his greed, to put all his
money into houses for people who could

Smith said." So, I'm walking around
and there's some holes in the ground
around the stump. And as I got around
to the other side of the stump, (the
mother of the baby rattlesnakes) was
curled up right there."
"She was beautiful. So, she came
back with us, too. Now we have thirteen
babies and their mother."
The baby rattlesnakes are being
used in a food assimilation study,
measuring what percentage of the tood
they eat actually goes toward the snake
itself. The food is weighed before it is
given to the snakes, and the snake is
also weighed.
As the snakes get older, Smith has
plans to do a DNA workup on them,
and then check the DNA of the mother.

Ford, now runs the organization that
has built over 50,000 homes.
Dr. Greg Carbone, faculty advisor
along with Mike Walla, said the goal
of Habitat is to provide, "a simple, decent
nlare to live " Dr. Carbone's eoal when
the USC house is sponsored is to involve
student groups. He said he believes
the purposes of the USC Chapter are
to reach out to the community and
involve students with a similar desire
to make it easier.
According to Dr. Carbone, it takes
three to four months to build a house.
The local affiliate helps in the building
while student organizations helps in
painting and other work on the site.
Dr. Carbone said he plans to schedule

By comparing these two workups of
DNA, it may be possible to determine
whether all the snakes have the same
father.
Some snake species are know to be
bom of multiple paternities (more than
one father), but to this point, no one
knows if that happens with these
rattlesnakes.
Other studies planned for Smith's
collection of snakes includes study of
the viper pits that the snakes use to
sense changes in heat above the ambient
temperature and locate prey.
Smith got his first snake when he
was only eight years old from a friend's
backyard. He has been working with
snakes in an academic or professional
setting for eighteen years.

People apply for a Habitat house.
The applications go through a selections
process to make sure the people who
get the houses are the ones who really
need them. The houses are usually
two bedrooms, kitchen, bath and living

larger families. The families pay a

students the time to voice their opinion on
matters such as stereotypes and
misconceptions.
"I think the workshops are veiy efficient.
Many freshmen have no idea about anything
but the United States because it is so big,"
Vanessa Bourquard said,a senior from
Brazil.
During the last 15 minutes of each
workshop, a study abroad adviser talks to
the students about the options of experiencing
the realitv of beincr a transfer student in
another country.
There are ten international students
currently enrolled in the Thinking Globally"
program from countries all around the
world. The majority of the students are
upperclassmen or graduate students willing
to promote international awareness for a
$25 stipend.
"It has been really great so far. The people
seem nervous at first, but then they start
asking questions. They seem to be very in
the drinking ages in other countries," said
Anne Terashima, a senior transfer student
from Tokyo, Japan.
There will be around 30 workshops
scheduled this semester. Boston University
has put together a video entitled "Cold
Water" about certain international students'
first experiences in the United States. The
video is part of the workshops in the
University 101 classes as well.
"I think it is hard to get freshmen
interested in varying topics. Sometimes I
ask them where they think I am from and
no one knows. A better structure of class
would probably help the class lectures run
more smoothly," said Adnan Omar, graduate
student from Malaysia.
International Programs for Students offers
several other ways to experience the cultural
diversity without leaving Columbia.
International coffee houses are scheduled
for October 10,29 and November 12. Each
coffee house offers features food, music and
stories of foreign countries.
A film festival is held every Sunday night
in the BA Building at 7:00 p.m. The films
are shown in their original language and
equipped with subtitles. The Cinema Du
Monde Film Festival is free of charge and
aims at educating students of other cultures.
