Ticket Florida game to sell out by noon CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Junker didn’t think distrib uting standing-room-only tick ets like in past games was the answer. “[There should be] no more standing-room tickets. It is al ready crowded enough in the stands,” Junker said. Some students blamed much of the delay on the technology in the distribution room. Melanie Doyle, a senior in Mathematics and Science, didn’t like the wait and thought the computers were a problem. She waited over an hour before getting tickets. Doyle said, “They need more computers. ID cards are having to be swiped more than twice.” The gripes might have been one of the key factors in the way things were handled Tuesday. The ticket office decided to start the line from the Bull Street en trance, taking away the line that came through the front entrance of the Russell House. The adjustments were an ob vious improvement, as the line stayed short for the most part af ter a rush began the morning’s distribution. Much of the reason for the shortened line was because many people picked up tickets Monday. A spokesman for the USC ticket office agreed. “People were impatient yes terday, and we still have a limit ed amount left,” said an employ ee who wouldn’t give his name. All Wofford tickets allotted to students were picked up Tuesday. The ticket office pro jects tickets for the Florida game will be out by somewhere around noon today. Comments on this story?

Grant Teacher to learn American history CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the university’s role in the devel opment programs, said, “One of the most important goals in this project is increased cooperation between USC’s history depart ment and the state’s American history teachers whose students eventually become our students.” Schulz said the programs will enhance relationships between USC students and South Carolina K-12.history teachers. “Many of our public history graduate students will go on after receiving their master’s degrees to work in archives, museums, and historic sites where they will have responsibilities to work with teachers in educational outreach, and this is an exciting opportuni ty for them to learn and practice those skills,” Schulz said. Gov. Jim Hodges said, “As teachers utilize historic sites, mu seums and archives in their com munities, students will gain a greater appreciation of history and' South Carolina’s place in history.” According to Schulz, the Education Department is man dated by legislation to outline application guidelines for these kinds of grants. She helped write a 20-page narrative report as part of the winning application. “By law, the grant had to go to a local school district,” Schulz said. “All of the school districts agreed ... the headquarters would be here in Columbia, so Richland Two of ficially received the grant.” She said all the school districts chose USC to be the university sponsor for this grant. The two-week development programs will feature a master scholar and a master teacher, both will be USC faculty mem bers or graduate students and will teach innovative approaches to teaching American history. The first of the three annual programs will take place next summer. It will focus on colonial American history and events leading to the Civil War. The South Carolina Depart ment of Archives and History is in the process of appointing a full-time project director and members for a steering commit tee that will coordinate the pro grams. Warning Federal agencies increasing security CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 sense of indifference.” “It’s important for the American people to understand that these (alerts) are to be taken seriously,” said Ashcroft, who canceled plans to travel Monday to Toronto to address a confer ence of police chiefs.

Ashcroft said 18,000 law en forcement agencies were advised to go on the highest alert.
