more than $112,500, from the
Institute for Museum and
Library Services.
McKissick applied for the
grant from IMLS, which sup

tionwide, this past January.
“The grant is given for excel
lence,” said Lynn Robertson, di
rector of the museum.
She said university muse

Museum and Library Services

National Endowment for the
Humanities.
To compete for the federal
grant, a museum must present
in an application details about
its staff, budget, recent exhibits,
collections, public programs and
official long-range plan,
Robertson said.
Sets of three applications are
distributed to other museum cu
rators, who rank each one in the
set.
Riverbanks Zoo also received
the award this year.

Habitat delays
annual project
USC’s chapter
did not raise
enough funds to
complete build
BY HOLLY BOUNDS
THE GAMECOCK
USC’s Habitat for Humanity
will postpone its annual build
on Greene Street this year be
cause it failed to reach its fund
raising goal.
Each year, the USC chapter of
Habitat for Humanity raises
enough money, with the help of
the Columbia Rotary Club, to
build one house for a Columbia
family. This year, however, rais
ing the money has been a chal
lenge.
USC’s Habitat and the Rotary
Club tried to raise $25,000 each,
but both clubs have fallen short
of their goal. So, in hopes of rais
ing more money, the project has
been postponed until the spring
semester.
According to Cathleen
Kouvolo, a fourth-year exercise
science student who serves as
publicity chairwoman for USC’s
Habitat chapter, the group has
started a dollar drive each
Wednesday on Greene Street.
Students are encouraged to drop
a dollar, or any amount of mon
ey, into the collection jar on
their walks to class. With the
dollar drive, USC’s Habitat chap
ter will compete with Clemson’s
to try to raise the most money.
Kouvolo and the rest of the
Steering Committee, the group’s
executive board, will place can
isters in residence halls across
campus for students to drop
loose change in as they pass.
Donations for USC’s Habitat
chapter can also be made at the
Clemson-Carolina game.
Kouvolo said Clemson’s 10-year
old chapter completes about five
houses a year.
Habitat for Humanity is an
international organization with
one main goal: eliminating
poverty housing. To accomplish
that goal, volunteers provide
