Rish said she had received
nice notes from people who had
been given flowers by the shop’s
customers.
September is also the month
of the shop’s 50th anniversary,
Rish said.
“I thought it was a good way to
give back to a community that’s
given us so much support,” she
said.
Although FTD doesn’t pay for
the roses given away by florists
around the nation, it will send a
representative to help at Rish
Flower Shop today.
Students from Brookland
Cayce High School will also as
sist in giving out the roses.
Last year, more than 700 peo
ple visited the shop on Good
Neighbor Day, and customers
had grabbed up every rose by
lunchtime, Rish said.
So no one would leave empty
handed, Rish said she also or
dered hundreds of extra roses <
and gave two to each customer
who came in after lunch. She
plans to do the same thing this
year, she said.
Gov. Mark Sanford has pro
claimed today as Good Neighbor
Day, Rish said, along with sever
al local mayors, including
Columbia Mayor Bob Coble, West
Columbia Mayor Mack Rish,
Cayce Mayor Avery Wilkinson
and Springdale Mayor Pat Smith.

first year as an RA, Cole said he
expected there to be a lot of criti
cism from students about the new
policy. Instead, he said he hasn’t
encountered any problems.
The same goes for Nicole
Brown, an RA at Sims. She said
there hasn’t been a word of com
plaint from her hall, and students
don’t mind taking the extra time
to walk outside to smoke.
“I’ve lived in residence halls
where I’ll be on a smoke-free floor
and you can smell the smoke com
ing from the floor above you,” she
said.
For smokers on campus, the
policy is just another limitation
of where they can and can’t
smoke. The university restric
tions on smoking mean the only
place students can smoke is out
side. Faulk said the policy really
doesn’t affect him though, because
he usually smokes while walking
to class.
Second-year biology student
Jason Corbett, a smoker who lives
in Capstone, said he thinks the
policy is a good idea but that
Housing should have done a bet
ter job of informing people about
thq change.
“I’m trying to quit, myself, any
way,” he said.
The new policy just might help
smokers do that. Faulk admitted
that smoking was a nasty habit
that is very hard to quit and that
the new policy could serve as a de
terrent to smoking in general.
“If the university didn’t have a
policy, it would be a lot easier to
smoke, and people could do it a lot
more and could get addicted,” he
said.

has no official position on the new
law school. On one hand, compe
tition from a new school is
“healthy and good,” Mood said. On
the other hand, he wondered how
many Charleston law school grad
uates would be able to find jobs.
I
“We are filling the need for
lawyers in South Carolina,” said
Mood, noting that about 90 percent
of USC law school grads find work
within six months after gradua
tion.
Some critics fear the new law
school would become part of the
state-funded, public College of
Charleston. At that point, the
Charleston law school would be
gin to compete for scarce public
funds with the USC School of
Law.
Sanders said that fear is un
founded. The commission staff has
recommended tha^if the new law
school ever tried to become part
of the College of Charleston, “the
license granted to the school shall
be null and void and immediately
revoked.”
Sanders said the new school al
ready has a dean.
