♦ Read the last rites. The 600-800
BLOCK OF HARDEN STREET is a
traffic coronary waiting to
sluggishly kick the bucket. Look
for one-lane in and out of the
Harden-Devine intersection. God
be with Yesterdays.
* even though UtKVAia i I KLt I
TRAFFIC BETWEEN SUMTER AND
ASSEMBLY STREETS is still one
way in and out, commuters have
gotten used to the changes and
traffic has picked up. Don’t run the
red light; even though it seemingly
doesn’t serve a purpose, it will help
avoid running over a gaggle of
politicians.
♦ The 1200 BLOCK OF MAIN
STREET is your Chevy’s worst
nightmare. All cars stay away. Foot
traffic only.

underway at each institution and
provide additional opportunities
for our top scientists to conduct
research that will benefit our
nations’ energy needs,” Choi said
in the news release.
Along with additional research
comes a reputation-builder for
use.
“This will make Carolina more
globally respected as a university,”
Pastides said. “I think that even
though the partnership is with
fuel-cell research, it will be in
everybody’s interest with the
increase of the value of a USC
diploma.
“Hopefully we will gain direct
exchange programs for both USC
and Korean students. With this
(Memorandum of
Understanding), both institutions
will be able to give opportunities
to students on either end.
Hopefully our neighbors will see
what we are doing and begin to
see the benefits of working
internationally.”

city and county governments
to build parking garages for the
upcoming project. The total
for the first phase is estimated
to exceed $123 million.
Harris Pastides, vice
president for research and
health sciences, sees the vote as
encouragement for the
university, not burdensome.
“To go ahead and have
enough money for three
university buildings as well as
three parking decks or garages
and the Greg Davis properties,
we are talking about a project
that is valued at $150 million,”
Pastides said. “At any university,
that is certainly a great day.”
Typically, proposed plans
undergo intense scrutiny and
occasional significant changes,
but the plans for Phase 1
underwent no change.
lney gave us 1UU percent
of what we asked for, they did
change the requirements and
they did not reduce it,”
Pastides said. “This is exactly
what we needed.”
Although the board
approved the first phase with a
unanimous vote, Pastides said
he would have been happy with
any endorsement from the
board, even if unanimity sends
a mission to those scrutinizing
the university’s plans.
l nere was good detail to
planning and preparation,”
Pastides said of the successful
vote and vision. “But this also
shows that there is recognition
on part of state government to
know that we are doing is not
so much about what we are
doing for the university, but
what we are doing for the
state.”
