Baptist Student Union gets approval for new site BY CRYSTAL SMALLS THE GAMECOCK The Baptist Student Union’s re quest to purchase property for a new building was approved by the executive board. This is the second relocation in BSU’s history. The group’s first building was located on 700 Pickens St., across from the Women’s Quad. BSU had to move out of this building after calling it home for several years. BSU was forced to move out of its old building after calling it home for 34 years because of the its poor condition, the same rea son it moved out of its first build ing. In the beginning of 2000, BSU temporarily moved to Wayne Street in the parsonage of South Side Campus Church in the Olympia Community. "Over the last year and a half, it was estimated that it would be less expensive to relocate instead of rebuilding,” Poster said. The old site is now in the process of being sold, and profits from the sale should help renovate the future building. On Sept. 10, it was decided that BSU will move into a new build ing at 819 South Main St., between Sandy’s and South Carolina Bookstore. This building, former ly known as the Crowson-Stone Printing Company, also needs ren ovations. The South Carolina Baptist Convention donated $725,000 to cover costs, and BSU also received donations from alumni. Rev. Jane Poster, who has been BSU’s advisor for the past 30 years, is excited about the open ing of the new building. “We will be remodeling over the next two years,” Poster said. “Our new lo cation will change how we do min istry. We can reach pockets of stu dents that we haven’t been able to reach previously." Stephanie Veal, a senior and a -1 member of BSU for four years, said, “The new building will en able BSU to administer in a vari ety of ways. It gives students a place to gather.” BSU’s relocation is happening at the same time other buildings on campus are scheduled to. emerge. The new Norman J. Arnold School of Public Health Complex will be located in the same area, along with the Strom Thurmond Fitness and Wellness Center and the new arena. All four sites are expected to be ♦ BSU, SEE PAGE 3 Anthrax unlikely in S.C. BY KIM BACA ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA — There is no threat of anthrax to South Carolinians and there’s no need to stock pile antibiotics or gas masks, state Department Health and Environmental Control officials said Tuesday. “Getting enough anthrax spores in quantity and dissem inating widely enough to make people sick, there has to be just the right conditions,” said Dr. Jerry Gibson, DHEC’s director of Bureau of Disease Control. The agency has received several calls from residents concerned about anthrax since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. “We’re in constant contact with CDC, getting constant health alerts, updates on what’s going on in Florida,” said DHEC Director Earl Hunter. “As soon as they know more about the cause was there, we’ll be in a better posi tion to look out if there is any thing similar going on here.” Should an outbreak occur, the South Carolina Emergency Preparedness Division has a terrorist-response plan that lays out lines of responsibility among state agencies to limit confusion in an attack. Gibson’s advice is for South Carolinians to be alert and watch for severe flu-like symptoms. Anthrax can be contracted from soil or farm animals, par ticularly sheep and goats. But because there aren’t large of populations of these animals in South Carolina, contraction of anthrax is rare, Gibson said. Symptoms depend on how the disease was contracted.
