Housing Fee
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“When they pay the $100, it is
taken away from the money they
pay to live on campus in the fall,”
Koehler said. “It is not additional.”
Koehler said one reason for the
fee was to discourage students
who didn’t intend to live on-cam
pus from signing up “just to see
what they can get.” The $100 fee
is refundable only to students who
cancel their sign-up requests be
fore receiving their assignments.
Residence Hall Association
President Brad Dawgert agreed
with Koehler that the $25 fee in
crease was necessary.
“We’ve seen what the technol
ogy development costs are for the
Web application process, and it’s
amazing,” Dawgert said. “This fee
was well thought out, and it’s nec
essary because Housing not only
supports itself, but other areas of
the university, too.”
Though only freshmen who ap
ply by June 1 are guaranteed on
campus housing, all students who
have applied by that time should
receive word on their assignments
“I wish they would have
mailed me something, '
or put an announcement
on Channel 8.1 never
saw anything.”
MARIA SWINTON
FOURTH-YEAR SOCIOLOGY STUDENT
by June 15.
Swinton said she never received
any notice of the fee change.
“I wish they would have mailed
me something, or put an an
nouncement on Channel 8.1 nev
er saw anything.”
Swinton said she also dis
agreed with the online payment
time limit. Students signing up for
housing were allowed to pay on
line only between March 25 and
March 31. They can now make
payments in person at the
Housing office at 1215 Blossom St.
“A hundred and twenty-five dol-'
lars is a lot of money for college
students to come up with, espe
cially with no advance notice,”
Swinton said.

Rankings
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
ly compete with the top private
business schools in the country.
The ranking is a testament to the
caliber of our students and re
flects the faculty’s innovative
teaching, productive research
and scholarship, as well as their
commitment to one of the na
tion’s finest international busi
ness programs.”
Thunderbird Graduate School
of Arizona was ranked first over
all for international business.
The other public universities
ranked are the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor (No. 6),
UCLA (No. 9) and the University
of California at Berkeley (No.
10.)
In January, the Financial Times
of London ranked USC’s MBA pro
grams 38th among the world’s top
100 business schools, up from 45th
in 2001.
The Moore School of Business
will launch its International
Master of Business Administration
program in May.
The program will offer stu
dents three study options: a for
eign language track, which trains
students in another country’s lan
guage and culture; a program in
which students study abroad at
USC’s partner school, Vienna
University in Austria; and a six
month internship abroad pro
gram in an English-speaking
country.
U.S. News rankings are based
on objective measures that in
clude entering students’ test
scores and placement success, as
well as reputation ratings drawn
from inside and outside acade
mia.
For the international busi
ness ranking, U.S. News asked *
business school deans and pro
gram heads to vote for up to 10
schools offering the best pro
grams in each area. The 10
schools receiving the most votes
appear in the ranking.
USC also offers an internation
al business specialization for un
dergraduates.
Fourth-year student Ryan
Stilling said USC’s strong inter
national business program was
one reason she chose to come here
from Chicago. She said she thinks
her international business train
ing has given her solid career
preparation, even if she never
works outside of the United
States. m
“I’ve learned a lot about how”
the way we do business in
America is shaping how the world
does it, too,” Stilling said. “But I’ve
also learned how to become more
open-minded to how to understand
different ways of thinking than my
own.”

Unity Week
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Unity Week. It features student or
ganizations thatprospective USC
students can talk with to learn
more about student life.
There will also be a banner con
test sponsored by Garnet Circle
Student Alumni Council to pro
mote the spirit of unity in student
organizations. Student organiza
tions will design banners illus
trating their ideal view of campus
unity and hang them Monday on
Greene Street.
Monday will be Clean Carolina
Day, a day geared at getting stu
dents interested in the campus
Clean Carolina program, Elser
said. Clean Carolina designates in
dividual student organizations a
section of campus to keep free of
litter and debris.
“Some organizations do it more
often than others,” Elser said.
“All of our events are
meant to promote an
environment where
students and faculty
members can come ®
together and meet
people they don’t know
or just celebrate being
Carolinians together.”
TIFFANY ELSER
EVENT ORGANIZER
“Clean Carolina Day is meant to
jump-start the program and get
students motivated to take part in
the program together and as an
entire student body.”
The American Red Cross
Bloodmobile, with a complete staff
of registered nurses, will be on
Greene Street on Monday from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. After the blood dri
ve, the Russell House patio will®
play host to a Serv-a-thon, a free
buffet at 4 p.m. for students who
bring at least one can of food for
the local Harvest Hope Food Bank.
Elser said one of the goals for
Carolina Unity Week is to get
more faculty involved in the en
tire week’s programs. She said fac
ulty integration with student ac
tivities would promote more unity
among the university population.
