USC's School of Nursing is sponsoring a
Women's Healthcare Center, the only one
of its kind in the Midlands.
All nuree practitioners are faculty members
of the College of Nursing.
More advanced graduate and
undergraduate students will develop their
skills at the site to prepare to be nurse
practitioners.
"It will be a good model for students to
see their faculty practicing healthcare,"
Nursing dean Mary Ann Parsons said.
The center, opening with the slogan "A
Different Kind of Care," is a nurse managed
primary care facility devoted to the health
care needs of women. It is unique because
it offers comprehensive care for women.
"We offer primary care from the common
cold to traditional women's services," Parsons
said.

0 The governments of the two Residence ]3e(
Halls are attempting to have the meters
removed that separate their living
quarters.
"We're doing this because residence me
halls are supposed to be a home away ser
from home;' a place to live and learn,"
Columbia Hall Head Representative, ^
and head of the project for Columbia, 0f f
Hall Ronald Dunham said. "How would
you feel if they put a meter in front of ha<
your house and you had to wake up at jje
eight o'clock every morning to feed it?" ^
First, Columbia Hall and Capstone
are petitioning to have the meters fjfl
removed. Columbia Hall has almost 400 ^
signatures, the majority of the hall. nev
Capstone has about the same
majority. ngl
With these signatures, Dunham and j
? Emily Rivers will speak to Bill Baker, ejg]
^ the Director of Parking Services, to see ^ ?
how possible it will be to have the meters
removed. If this does not work, they will ^
take other considerations to have the jn j
meters removed. The governments plan 0pj.
to protest and/or boycott. ES E
"They make money off of the meters. (
If they don't agree to take the meters ^
out, and we boycott, they'll be losing
money either way," Columbia Hall
^ resident and car owner Krishna Misurello ^
said. "What do we have decals for ^
anyway?"
"It's expensive and inconvenient for sen
the students of the two residence halls," out
Dunham said. "Being in hall government

Primary and preventive care is provided
for women by any of six certified nurse
practitioners.
They will manage health problems through
diagnosis, treatment, and referral.
"We are part of the Specialty Clinics
network which is very important in today's
healthcare," Parsons said.

The center can refer patients to faculty at

The plan is to specialize in delivering
more time, attention and understanding to
women's concerns.
"Women have told us they want more
from their health care provider," Parsons
said. "We want to provide that care, and our

Adam Isgitt, Capstone Area Resident,
3 a different opinion on the matter,
feels that the meters are good for the

"I like to be able to find a spot for
teen minutes to run in and get
aething. If there were no meters you'd
rer be able to find a spot," Isgitt said,

ition, Dunham says, "The best things

The majority of students that live in
Capstone Area do support the petition,
; that does not mean that anything

Residence halls have the rest of the
aester to fulfill their plan and work
something with Parking Concerns.

The Director of Student Media will leave
his position today after turning in hisresignation
two weeks ago.
Chris Carroll has accepted a position as
Director of Student Media at Vanderbilt
University.
Director of Student Life Jeny Brewer
announced Carroll's resignation to the Board
of Student Publications and Communications
Tuesday.
"We are excited for Chris. This is a great
j opportunity for him," Brewer said.
' i j In other business, the board discussed
/ applications for the spring editor of The
/ / Gamecock and heard reports from all aneas
y of Student Media,
r The board decided to accept applications
/for the spring editor of The Gamecock.
Applications are available in the Office of
Student Life, and applicants must have a
2.5 GPA or be in good standing in their
college, must be a junior (60 hours) and
must have one year of experience.
The deadline is set for Nov. 27, and the
board will meet again Dec. 3 to interview
candidates and make their selection.
Brewer updated the board on the
increased deficit The Gamecock has accrued
over the past several semesters.
"[There is] no way we can run a deficit
two years in a row," Brewer said.
Brewer attributed the deficit to not
meeting advertising goals. He said if the
situation does not improve by the end of
a November other alternatives would be
^ m considered. Two possible ways to reduce
costs are by cutting back on fiill-time staff
and printing costs.
The board discussed competition for
^advertising with publications such as the
Zipsheet.
"We need to out-hustle the other guy,"
Brewer said.
Cece von Kolnitz, editor of Garnet and
Black, announced that GAB will be published
seven times during the spring semester.
The first issue will be available Jan. 13.
