pie students at USC really respect,” De
Loreto said.
The results of the online voting will
be announced the Monday after Thanks
giving Break. As of Tuesday, about 400
students had already voted online.
Carr also said students can still get
involved with the search committees
for each category. One of the perks
of working on the committees is get
ting to personally meet one of “The
Six.” To get involved with the search,
students can stop by room 218 in the
Russell House.
Evan Smiley, political science sopho
more, said the search was a good idea.
“It’s a good gesture by the school
to give the students a chance to be mo
tivated by people they look up to and
respect,” Smiley said.

spends about four to six hours per day

“I think the new standards are a good
idea,” she said. “I used to think carpal
tunnel syndrome was ridiculous, but
once I got it, I realized it was true. It’s
very painful. I actually had to wear an
arm brace for weeks. It’s much more
painful than I ever thought. I still get
flare-ups.”
Steedley said working on a com
puter for years has also affected her vi
sion.
“My vision has gotten so much
worse since I’ve been on a computer.
Most definitely, I think the standards
are a good thing,” Steedley said.
Carl Maddox, a health standards of
ficer with the South Carolina OSHA
I
Standards Office, explained the details
of the new rules.
The final ruling on the standard came
out Tuesday and will be effective be
ginning Jan. 16, 2001, Maddox said.
“This means that the standards are
out and in effect. The compliance
date is Oct. 15, 2001. South Carolina
has six months from Tuesday, the day-it
appeared in the federal register, to adopt
it verbatim or come up with a rule that’s
as effective. But 99 percent of the time
you adopt standards verbatim.”
Maddox went on to say the imple
mentation of the standard could be
delayed by legal processes.
“Lawsuits are being filed now, though,
that could change the start date. A stay
could be put on it,” he said.
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney
said on the company’s Web site that the
standard “is the most important work
er safety action developed” in OSHA’s
history.
According to an Associated Press
report, the standards would cost busi
nesses $4.5 billion to implement, but
would save $9.1 billion annually from
workers’ compensation and medical
costs. The report went' on to say that
many big businesses dispute these fig
ures and fear the new standards could
cost more than $90 billion annually.
“We do not believe that there is an
adequate scientific basis that meets the
statutory requirement, and we believe
it is unconstitutionally vague,” said
Stephen Bokat, the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce senior vice president and
general counsel.
According to the Associated Press,
Bokat said Saturday that the group will
seek to overturn the standard in court.
