The ancient Blatt P.E. Center will
ventually be replaced as the planning
)r a new recreation facility develops.
The new fitness building fells among
everal other buildings and additions
a the campus as a part of the master
lan for the university. According to
tie plan, the Blatt Center "is deficient
1 meeting the university's recreational
nd fitness needs."
"The Building and Grounds
tommittee discussed Blatt PE. Center
nd decided that it was not meeting
he needs of the students," director of
itudent Life Jerry Brewer said. "It is
list too small."
The Blatt Center was completed
a 1971 as a teaching and competition
acility with only a few basketball
ourts, locker rooms and classrooms.
"Blatt was built at a time when
ecreation and aerobics basically didn't
xist," Brewer said.
The Blatt Center now provides
acilities for physical education,
atramural sports, theater and speech
lasses and several other programs.
Brewer said a variety of options
or the location of the building were
onsidered by a committee and
larrowed down.
With several other developments
o be determined on campus as a part
if the master plan, the site for the new
itness center has been put on hold.
The recommended site on hold for
he center is Gibbes Center at the
:orner of Blossom and Assembly
streets," Brewer said. "We should have
he actual site chosen by the end of
his fall and will begin proceeding with
he actual plan."
Some of the facilities that will be
ivailable at the new fitness recreation
enter are administrative offices, indoor
ind outdoor pools, a climbing wall, an
ndoor track and a food facility.
USC boasts re
of non-traditio
Bt'l H DAVIS Special to The Gamecock
Most students roll out of bed, throw
jn a hat and head to class. After class
they rush to their dorm to meet friends
for lunch.
But for a large number of students
:he picture is a little different. They
night have children or a full-time job
n addition to classes.
They could be called non-traditional
students, or students interested in
continuing tneir education.
There's an office on campus,
lowever, specifically set up to service
students in the Continuing Education
Academic Credit Programs.
Sally Boyd, Assistant Vice Provost
in the Continuing Education
Department, said someone interested
in coming back to school would seek
help from this office first.
The student is assigned an academic
advisor to help make plans for their
academic career. The advisor helps
the student get acclimated to the
university and help them pick their
classes, Boyd said.
According to a representative from
the Office of Institutional Planning
and Analysis, the College of Nursing
tias many non-traditional students.
Last fall, there were 188
undergraduate upper-level nursing
students over the aee of 26.

of Academic Programs and Student
Services, said one reason for the large g
number of students is because people change
professions and decide to enter
the nursing profession later in life. &
The versatility of jobs within nursing
is why many people return to school n
for further nursing degrees, Waganer 0
said.

USC started its recycling program in 1989 and its grown
ach year since.
Laura Pergolizzi, USC's environmental programs
lanager, said USC students, faculty and staff have helped ^
ver the years to make the recycling program a success.
Pergolizzi said the USC recycling project is collecting
0 tons a month from resident halls, business offices and ^
lassrooms across campus.
However, the bulk of garbage from dining facilities on
ampus are not being recycled. ^

"The cost of recycling the Styrofoam cups is not cost
ffective to businesses who might use the recycled product,"
'ergolizzi said.
In an effort to cut down on the amount of Styrofoam
ups Marriott uses, they are offering eco-mugs to students. Pe
'eigolizzi said Marriott gives a 25-cent discount on beverages re
3 students who use their eco-mug instead of the Styrofoam
ups that are provided. , re
The eco-mugs are $2 each and can be purchased in the

"That's a good idea," Masuko said. "I would use one,
t they should come up with other designs. However, if
ey (Marriott) were serious about recycling they would
re them to everyone for free."
Pergolizzi said the USC Environmental Programs
jpartment has projects going on throughout the year. In
eir project during the first week of school, they collected
rdboard boxes from students moving in.
"With the help of housing and the grounds crew we
;re able to triple the amount (cardboard) collected from
jt year," Pergolizzi said.
Pergolizzi said they are working on four on-campus
jrkshops about recycling during Wellness Week in
ptember.
"Recycling is a good thing," Pergolizzi said. "The state
the environment is effecting your health."
In an attempt to make USC's Drogram more successful
srgolizzi said they are working with housing to try to get
cycling bins in each dorm room on campus.
Junior Josh Moore said he feels students will want to
cycle because of peer pressure.
"I think that people would recycle because it is trendy,
you don't drop it in the right bin, people would look at
u," Moore said.
