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.”

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.
