News Editor 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. Karen Waganer, Assistant Dean Student Senal meeting, vote CARA PELLATT Asst. News Editor The student senate voted 19-18 igainst a motion requiring Michael Fhillips, the nominee for the Executive Cabinet Fraternity Affairs position, io appear before the senate Wednesday it die first meeting of the semester Senator Kathy Van Nostrand made he motion requiring Phillips to appear vithin three weeks, or the appointment vould be invalidated and the position vould be open. "If there isn't a time limit, he could ust never show up," Van Nostrand >aid. "Then, the appointment would >e in a deadlock." Senator Zerell Hall disagreed with titer part o tosal put oi 1 iiHH I HF W Jgr^H Evenings are the most popular times ( courts and workout machines at Blatt F plan, the university will build a new fitne Positive attitudes about the new fitness pt recreation center abound. "I think it will benefit the students or a lot," senior Jamie Jacobin said. "They so need to have that part in their lives, re [The Blatt P.E. Center] is old and it doesn t set up an atmosphere to make at cord number ] inal students ^ 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. Some of the highest statistics on 4 campus come from the Graduate c] Education Department Last fall, that department had 1,879 students over c 30 years old.

Associate Dean of the Graduate e Education College Ose Henderson said p the number represents many teachers who come to the university to renew c their degree credentials. Other students p return to advance and receive higher t< degrees. c Eddie Leonard, a history major, said being older than other students b can be lonely. a "Toward the end of the weekend, I really don't have any plans, and it r can get lonely," Leonard said. "If I were invited to a party 1 would go. Most or our conversations are about school work and they don't get to know me," Leonard said. te holds first ! of year the motion, arguing that many people up for approval never appear before the senate, but are approved anyway. Hall said if there is a time limit, it should be for everybody and should be an amendment. "I don't think that because of his special situation we should set a time limit," Hall said. Phillips was originally approved for the position last semester. The senate moved to reconsider tne nomination during the same meeting.

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.

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. SUSAN MEYERS The Gunecock and Furious Styles on WUSC.
