I the public, that without the German

The USC Press is one of the old|
est publishing houses in the South and
j the only university press in South Car:
olina, but some of their newest strate|
gies are helping strengthen their comj
mitment to students and faculty here
I and abroad.
"We want to be know as a schol
arly publisher," said Fred Kameny, asl
sistant director and editor-in-chief.
"I think this is an outstanding
university," said Kameny, who joined
j the staff of 23 employees after leaving
: Yale University Press.
j He believes USC can "get even
j more visibility and standing by the
; books that are published by the Press."
I The press generates close to $2
J million in annual book sales, and pub
lishes under the categories of history,
j literature, international relation
t theory, religious studies and rhetoric.
! Most recently, the press has published
books on culinary history.
The press' books are sold all
: around the world.
According to Kameny, the press
j has undergone several changes under
: the leadership of its new director,
; Catherine Fry, and the addition of its
j new sales manager, John Scruggs,

j Kameny said anytime an organiI
zation recruits new members, it de:
velops new ways of thinking. One of
the press' goals now includes going af
;en spee<
The trials of Nuremberg were
aimed at teaching the future generations
of Germans that what was done
in the past would continue to haunt
them until time ended, a thought many
post-Nazi Germans would like to forget.
As one unnamed, but clearly representative,
Nazi camp commandant
said at the 1946 trials, "The Jew was
not acknowledged by us to be human."
mis statement, lioianagen
stressed, was one of the key reasons
why he decided to aim his research at
the ordinary German citizen.
In his in-depth speech, Goldhagen
told the maximum-capacity audience
that in the testimony of these
killers, there was no mention of "madmen,"
or "psychopathic officers," who
"forced" them to commit these
crimes against humanity. In almost
every testimony, there was an element
of "obeying orders," or of a Nazi party
anthology of anti-semitism a good
soldier follows.
In his novel, Goldhagen claims
that by 1933 a toxified German nation
was ready to provide hundreds of thousands
of perpetrators for what was
to be the answer to the "final solution"
to the "Jewish question." Ordinary
German citizens of this time, he concludes,
were raised on virulent antisemitism.

ter book projects "rather than simply
letting them come to us," he said. <
"It's where all of the people in the 1
profession are at the same place at the i
same time," said Kim Patterson, pro- i
motion manager at the press.
"We essentially have a little retail
operation for a few days," Kame- ,
ny said. "You're displaying what you've ,
already done, but at the same time you
try to acquire projects that are either .
recently completed or seem to be completed."
Networking among USC professors,
who may have students' doctoral
candidates about to complete pub- 1
lications, is another way the press '
obtains projects. 1
"Technologically (the press has)
a lot of advantages," he said. <
The university typesets their own I
books electronically, which Kameny i
said not only saves money, but may 1
even be "a lot more important" than 1
Internet and e-mail connections.
Linda Fogle, marketing manag- (
er at the Press, said changes have al- }
so been made in the sales of their books. ,
"We don't do quite as much direct <
mail," Fogle said, citing that the cost .
of renting mailing lists had gone up.
However, by grouping similar
types of books together, like the press'
Civil War tabloid, and then renting
the publication out to a specialized au- 1
dience, the press is trying to minimize <
cost and garner a profit at the same i
time. 1
T
:h recall
This became his theme throughout
the entire speech?when children
in an anti-semitic culture are raised
to hate Jews simply because they
are Jews, with no other reason than
prejudice, the vast majority of the people
become to hate, according to Goldhagen.
As for the validity of the excuses
that came up after the "discovery" of
the concentration camps in Germany
and extermination facilities in
Poland after the war, Goldhagen
said,"The excuses cannot begin to account
for the 'zeal' of volunteerism and
brutality."
If anything should be learned from
the Nuremberg trials, it should be that
at one time or another it came to be
that the individual was responsible
for his actions. For the prosecutors,
the trials would end up making precedents
still used today.
"We must shift the attention of
blame to where it should be: on the

for the lives which they were
destroying, families they were annihilating,
and a culture that would never
recover from these terrible actions
that were committed by people just
like you and I," Goldhagen concluded.

"If you can offer people a variety
of books and yet you can rent your list
where everybody has pretty much a

It's this type of planning that has
allowed the press to maintain its publishing
of more than 60 books annually.
"A few years ago, we didn't publish
that many," said Leon Ginsberg,
/ice-chairman of the Press.
Fry, who has been director for
aver two years, said the long-range
joal and benefit of the press not only
ncludes increasing book sales, but reflects
the organization's commitment
aa scholastic achievement.
"In addition to maximizing inxame,
the long-range goals of the press
are to publish books of lasting merit,
and to promote the university and the
state of South Carolina both nation
illy and internationally," she said.
Patterson said he believes stulents
can benefit from USC Press.
"Although we don't directly work
vith the students, we put information

to the whole educational and
earning process ."

College students these days are
looking for a quick way to make some
cash.

some siuaenis iry draining meir j
plasma for a quick $25, while some try (
investing in the stock market.
Plasma donation is a reality many
students face, however, according to
Associate Professor of Finance Steven !
Mann, investing in the stock market is j
an unlikely path college students follow.
"The stock market is a long-term ^
investment," Mann said, "It's a terrible ,
short-term investment."
Mann teaches a course where stu- ]
dents, can get firsthand experience in <
stock market investing. In his class,
each student is given "play money" to j
invest in the market.
Students then can buy, sell or trade j
as they wish through a computer. They ,
can see how well they did by checking j
the daily stock market. However, students
aren't graded on whether or not
they make money.
Even though college students are j
short on cash and unable to invest thou- j
sands of dollars in the stock market, 1
Mann said, on average, investments <
will increase around 12 percent over a i
long period. ?
Mann said students who have some i
discretionary funds and are looking to i
invest in the market should remember
that a profit is not a sure thing. r
"My rule is if you need (money) c
within the next five years, then you j
should not be in the stock market," he g
said.

The student senate passed a res- j
olution calling for the senators to t
support multicultural events at Wednesday's
meeting. j
SBL(97)015 states that each sen- ?
ator will attend one event sponsored
by or recognizing a multicultural group g
per semester. The purpose is to have \
senators interact with other students s
and create awareness of the needs of F
the university.
"It's part of our responsibility to ?
the people we're representing," Sen.
Kathy VanNostrand said at the meet- J
ing.
In other business, SBL(97)014 ]
went through its first reading. The bill, ?
if passed, will revise Financial Code i
304.11, which pertains to the allocation
of Graduate, Law and Medical s
School activity fees. The bill will come t
back to the senate floor next week. (

ing advice
Mann said students will probably
be more successful making money in
mutual funds.
A mutual fund consists of a portfolio
of many individual investors who
have invested smaller amounts of monjy
and share the profits according to
the amount invested.
On average, Mann said these funds
Eire fairly safe. However, nothing is a
'sure deal" and there are always risks
involved.
"The problem with college students
investing is they don't have the money
to spare," Mann said. "When you think .
pou might need the money soon, your
best bet is not to invest in something
risky. Mutual funds are safe, but not a
sure thing."
He said college students are more
likely to use things like savings accounts
in credit unions or banks. This is a definite
way to insure your money, as well
as make a few dollars while you're saving.
Mann said interest rates can vary
Eiccording to different businesses. He
said those students interested in making
more money through their savings
accounts should read the "Money
Wise" section of your local paper. These
sections publish the interest rates for
elII of the area banks and credit unions.
Money market mutual funds have
a slightly higher return than a savings
account, Mann said.
Another wav he said students can
nake money is through investment
:lubs. These clubs, usually a group of
>eople with common interests, invest
similar to a mutual fund.

Also, the senate approved by acilamation
Gesla Wilson for director of
jarking and Kimberly Baun for senaor.
Wilson said she would work as a

ibout parking spots," Wilson said. "I

Wilson said she had no specific
