at last year’s show, added: “I just hope that
there will be a good turnout and that peo
ple will be open-minded and accept the
whole concept.”
In an effort to reach people on an ed
ucational level, Patterson said BGLA has
been advertising the show to University
101 classes, which require students to at
tend a cultural event.
Patterson said the show incorpo
rates class curriculum, as it addresses sex
ual diversity, an issue discussed in Uni
versity 101.
The show is open to the USC com
munity and the general public. More than
300 people, many from various student
organizations, attended the event last year.
Patterson said he thinks that the co
operation among the different organiza
tions assisting BGLA is also a reflection
of the Carolinian Creed.
He thinks that the organizations’ mem
bers’ having been helpful is a positive re
flection on the university, illustrating its
diversity.
Although the BGLA isn’t charging
admission at the door, people can make
donations to benefit the group’s commu
nity service projects.
Patterson said another benefit of at
tending is that the show is just in time for
Halloween, for anyone who needs cos
tume ideas.

The entry period for the state-op
erated program is Oct. l to Jan. 31 an
nually, excepting newborns, for whom
parents may enter at any time. Children
must be entered in the program before
completing the 10th grade.
The program will pay for any raises
in tuition that occur between the time
that payments begin and the time the
child goes to college, said Mike Spon
hour, spokesman for the State Budget
and Control Board
The board is the state committee that
operates the program.
Sponhour said parents will receive a
full refund of the money they’ve invested
if their children get scholarships or if the
program is discontinued
If a child attends an out-of-state col
lege, all money invested in the program
will go toward tuition at that college.
The program could be discontin
ued if the state puts in place a lottery
based college'
payment plan, as
Georgia has.

ly state to have a

All but nine
states either have
such programs or
are implement
ing them this

with the city have since been arranged.
There’s no estimate as to when any new
policy would begin or even what new pol

yet. We just want to do anything we can,”
Snyder said. “The president is going to
continue to work on getting help to put
this plan into action.”

necessary for us to move to the central
part of campus,” Sidel said.
