University 101 secures $130,000 research grant by Greg Hambrick The Gamecock The University of South Carolina’s nationally recognized University 101 program will soon have a new companion course, thanks to a $130,000 grant by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Through the grant, faculty will evaluate the undergraduate curriculum and develop a pilot course, University 201, that will offer discipline-specific research opportunities to undergraduates. The South Carolina Honors College has already begun offering sections in a related honors course. Dan Berman, director of University 101, said he thinks the program will be set in place by fall 2002 for three additional sections for undergraduates. Another 10 or 12 more sections will be offered the following year. A part of the grant process concerning some people involved was the university’s ability to follow through on a requirement to match the funds offered by the grant. But even in the face of the severe budget problems in the past months, the school matched the amount and agreed to assume the program’s costs after the two-year grant expires. One of the next steps, and a major component of the program, is for selected faculty members to participate in a workshop. During this time, faculty from different colleges in the university will have a chance to share stories of success and failure in getting students to actively pursue research in their field of study. The first workshop is expected in the fall for 15 faculty members. Berman is hoping that number will double the following year. The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, founded in 1966, focuses on a variety of societal issues, including education, the performing arts, the environment and the family. William Hewlett is cofounder of Hewlett-Packard. The news desk can be reached at gamecockudesk® hotmail.com Saturday, May 2 ■ Larceny of cell phone. Carolina Coliseum parking lot.

See, I work part-time loading and unloading packages, about three to five hours a day. After sitting in class all day, it feels good to get some exercise. It’s like doing a couple of hours in a gym- except you get paid to work out. That’s not the only advantage of working at UPS. There are other benefits-like choosing your own work schedule and getting paid holidays and vacations. No other company understands students like UPS. And no other company offers more. They make it easy to work your way through school. If the whole student body worked at UPS, everybody would be in better shape physically and financially.” ** • Interested applicants should contact United Parcel Service @ 822-6294.
