This Day In USC History January 12, 1981 - Fort Jackson students weren’t con sidered full-time USC students. Sfcsolutions for % year 2000 I by Mackenzie Craven Assistant etCetera Editor The year 2000 seems like the perfect time to make resolu tions, to create good habits and leave the bad ones to the 1900s. Although many USC students haven’t made any, others are fo cusing on timeless standards such as exercising more and quitting smoking. Reasons for not having a resolution range from not being able to keep last year’s resolution to not being able to find enough time between the end of the hectic holiday season and the start of class es. Those who have made resolutions are doing so to make pos itive changes in their lives. Some students are dedicating themselves to having a more healthtu! lifestyle. Angela Mayer, an athletic training junior, hopes to increase her workout schedule to three times a week. She said she owes it to herself to be healthy. She plans to cre ate her own program at the Blatt P.E. Center. “I am going to lift and do the bike and the treadmill,” Mayer said. Some friends are working together to stay fit throughout the year. They say they’re more likely to keep the^commitment when they have someone else work out with them. Olivia Gillcrese, a math junior, started her workout program Monday. She said it would be difficult to stick to her program without a friend to keep her motivat- ^ c r e s e eat bet- ■ Ji i she did Wf) mester. % \ thinks it’s necessary to aim for a ^ healthful lifestyle rather than to try to lose weight. Gillcrese wants to create a res olution that will last well beyond the end of the year. “If I lose the weight while getting healthier, that’s OK, but if I don’t lose weight, I have acquired healthier habits, which will have lasting effects,” Gillcrese said. S “The P.E. Center will be busier with the new year starting,” Campus Recreation Director Laina Tharp predicted. “It is eight weeks from spring break and people want to get in shape.” “A lot of new students are on campus, and as soon as school . starts, people want to work out,” she said. V Malik Husser, the president of the student body, plans 2m to gain 5 pounds and be graduated from USC before the Mk year’s end. — ^ As the year develops, he plans on making more deci Jk sions about life after college. Jr ■ Some students want to better their health in other ways. 1 I Kelly Gibson, a biology junior, has decided to quit smok Her friends keep asking her whether she wants a ciga M rette, and she keeps sticking to her resolution. J “I smoked right up to the (last) minute, but I haven’t V had one since,” Gibson said. m Some students made a resolution to earn a higher grade ' point average this semester. Sonya Belin, a nursing freshman, plans to raise her GPA to 3.0 this semester. She thinks her classes are easy enough for her to exceed her goal. She agrees that students who work hard can achieve their goals. Belin started working toward her goal the first day of class. “I have my books and the syllabuses for the two classes I had today,” Belin said. “I am trying to get prepared for what is ahead this se mester.” Sf c Time to *\ * make your , resolutions V V UNC cuts number of students it will accept Associated Press CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Citing inadequate resources to accept a projected flood of new ap plicants, UNC-Chapel Hill has trimmed by more than half the number of additional students it has pledged to receive this decade. Officials at North Carolina’s flagship public uni versity said last week they would accept only 2,200 additional students. In 1998, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill said it would accept its “fair share” of an enrollment suige expected to bring an addi tional 40,000 students to the entire UNC system by 2008. Initial estimates had the school accepting an additional 6,000 students to a current enroll ment of about 24,000. But UNC officials, who have said they won’t accept more students without funding for additional buildings and faculty, later revised its growth plan down to bring aboard 3,200 more students. The projection might change again if more resources aren’t made available, officials said. “Wfeare taking this incrementally,” said Provost Dick Richardson. “We’ll have no enrollment growth without space provided and we’ll have no enroll ment growth without faculty growth.” UNC system President Molly Broad unveiled a proposal late last week in which each student at the 16 system campuses would pay a $100 fee to pay for capital improvements. UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State University students also would pay a special $200 tuition increase to help make faculty salaries more competitive to research schools in other states. A $1 billion bond package for capital im provements failed to get through the General As sembly last year. Though UNC system officials have pledged to return to the Legislature this year to lobby for more money, enrollment planners at UNC-Chapel Hill are reluctant to move forward without any financial guarantees.
