Laura Bauld, co-chair of cam pus relations on the Homecoming Commission, hopes to fight com mon misconceptions. “A lot of non-Greeks think Homecoming is just for Greeks, but that’s not the case at all," said Bauld, a fourth-year interna tional studies and Spanish stu dent. Carolina Productions, which develops educational, recre ational and cultural activities for USC students throughout the year, is one non-Greek organiza tion that often goes unnoticed. “We plan the student aspect of Homecoming, and we have events planned for every night of the week,” Grove said. These events include the new “Garnet Gala” semi-formal Grant CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 propriations bill that finances the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State. Sen. Hollings is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. “This funding to construct a new building is the culmination of our efforts and will provide the school and its researchers with a central facility at which to study and discover new ways to address health care issues in South Carolina and around the country,” Sen. Hollings said last week in the news release an nouncing the award. The total cost of the project is $26.5 million, about $13 million of which comes from federal grants. According to Addy, the construction could start as early as late 2003; she said the school hopes to be in the new building Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the Russell House Ballroom. Grove said Carolina Productions expects high turnout for its programs. Several prominent non-Greek organizations, such as the International Student Association, the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, Women’s Track and Field, and the Residence Hall Association, par ticipate in these activities throughout the week. Rebecca Dulin, a second-year public relations student who also serves as campus relations co chair on the Homecoming Commission, said efforts were doubled this year to increase non Greek involvement. “We really extended our out reach to the non-Greek organiza tions because we don’t want other organizations to feel left out,” Dulin said. “Homecoming is for Carolina, not just Greeks.” by summer 2005. Now, she said, the school is spread out over nearly a dozen lo cations across campus and off campus, including the Blatt P.E. Center, Richland Memorial Hospital, Middleburg Plaza on Forest Drive and the Williams Brice Nursing Building. Some students in the school say the new building will allow for more interaction among de partments. “I have gone to school here for five years, and I think the facili ties here are less than adequate,” said Heather Brandt, a doctoral candidate in health promotion, education and behavior. “I look forward to the construction of a new building where faculty, staff and students can work together to address health issues impor tant to South Carolina.” Katrina DuBose, a doctoral candidate in exercise science, agreed with Brandt. “I would agree that, because A non-Greek organization that participates in several of the Homecoming festivities is the USC marching band. James Copenhaver, director of bands and a professor of music, over sees the Homecoming activities of the bands at USC. These activ ities include participating in Cockfest and marching in the Homecoming parade. “It’s important for all aspects of the university to participate in Homecoming,” Copenhaver said. “The participation of Greek and non-Greek organiza tions alike is integral to school spirit.” The band also sponsors a USC alumni band, which performs at halftime of the Homecoming game. The Carolina Alumni Association organizes activities for USC alumni, such as class re unions. This year, the class of 1952 will reunite Friday. Other everyone is in multiple sites, it impedes collaborations with oth er departments,” she said. “It would definitely help both pro fessors and students.” Jared Reis, a master’s student in exercise science, said the new building is just what the school needs. “In order for public health to continue to foster new and inno vative research, new facilities are necessary,” he said. Sharon Smith, a doctoral can didate in epidemiology and bio statistics, said: “The new build ing will allow all departments to be in the same location, improv ing the potential for interdisci , plinary research. Currently, we have limited collaboration due to limited interaction.” Sam Walker, a master’s stu dent in the environmental health sciences program, said it is en couraging to have the support of people on Capitol Hill. “It’s certainly encouraging to class reunions are held in five year increments. Lynn Bradley, assistant direc tor of programs and special events with the Carolina Alumni Association, said the effects of Homecoming festivities extend years beyond the big game on Saturday. “Homecoming is one of the most traditional events at USC. We try to get current students involved before they leave so that they will continue to par ticipate for years to come,” Bradley said. Dulin said Homecoming is a celebration of the Carolina tradi tion. “It extends so far beyond - Greeks, and it’s very important I that all organizations feel wel come,” she said.

Israel said it still planned to ar rest alleged terrorists it says are holed up with Arafat. Briefly emerging from is build ing — one of the last still standing in the Palestinian government complex — Arafat flashed a V-for victory sign to a crowd of several hundred supporters. He renewed his promise to order a cease-fire if Israel were to take troops and soldiers out of all Palestinian ter ritory. Israel demanded a Palestinian crackdown on terror but eased re strictions on Palestinians trying to enter Israel from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Under the new rules, 25,000 Palestinian workers will be al lowed to enter Israel daily instead of the current 15,000. Nevertheless, Arafat accused Israel of continuing to violate Tuesday’s U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an end to the siege as well as to Israel’s months-long occupation of Palestinian cities and to terror ism and other violence from both sides. “They are trying to deceive the Security Council,” a stern and seemingly weary Arafat told re porters in his office, minutes af ter Israeli troops had moved away. “We are talking about approxi mately 18 people who are in the compound who have direct in volvement in organizing and con ducting terror activities. ... Some of them have blood on their hands,” Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Jonathan Peled told the Associated Press. He said some others inside “may be wanted for interroga tion,” but Israel did not know the identities of all in the compound. He indicated that Israel was not ready for an unconditional pull back from Palestinian cities, but would move “once we see a seri ous commitment from the other side in taking over those territo ries and showing us a halt to vio lence and terror.” Arafat issued a proclamation repeating “full commitment with all cease-fire decisions,” though his aides have often said that his ability to control militant Palestinian factions is limited. Also on Sunday, the militant Palestinian group Hamas marked the second anniversary of the Palestinian uprising with a pledge to continue its suicide attacks r against Israel. A suicide attack claimed by the Hamas militant group killed six Israelis on a Tel Aviv bus on Sept. 19, triggering Israel’s attack on Arafat’s compound. The U.S. administration, trying to rally support for an action against Iraq, soon put heavy pres sure on Israel to halt the siege. In a statement announcing its decision to end the siege, the Israeli Cabinet of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon noted “the deep friendship between Israel and the United States” and promised “to do everything... to enhance the strategic cooperation and rela tions.” U.N. envoy Teije Roed-Larsen > entered the building immediate ly after Israeli troops left. “This is not the end of the crisis but a springboard to put us back on to political process” toward a peace agreement, said Mark Dennis, a spokesman for Larsen. In Texas, where President Bush was vacationing, the White House praised the withdrawal but said not only Israel but the Palestinians should act to bring peace. “The president is pleased with this development,” White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said Sunday. “Both parties need to live up to the requirements for peace, stability, as well as reform in the Palestinian Authority.” But Israeli politicians from both the left and the right called the decision a surrender. Many | have argued the operation strengthened Arafat at a time when he had been facing growing pressure to reform his govern ment and cede some powers. Yossi Sarid, Israel’s dovish op position leader, welcomed Sunday’s decision but added that it amounted to a capitulation by “a foolish government that can’t see two steps ahead.” Hawkish legislator Avigdor Lieberman said the protracted siege was a mistake and interfered with the U.S. efforts on Iraq.
