Destined
for
Distinction
The decision to attend a universi-
ty is one that every student
should consider carefully. Sev-
eral factors that weigh heavily in
the decision are the size of the universi-
ty, the cost of tuition and books, degree
programs offered, difficulty of applica-
tion and entrance requirements, and
possibly what sports programs are of-
fered. The combination of these factors
produces a distinct picture of a universi-
ty. Once all of these variables have
been studied, a student may finally
discover a university that he would like
to attend.
uses was established in 1967 to
continue the nursing education pro-
gram that was abolished by Spartan-
burg General Hospital. The regional
campus' first home was the basement
of Spartanburg General, but the rapid
growth of the student population ne-
cessitated a move. However, the stu-
dents continued to enroll in the univer-
sity, which provided the support to
warrant the construction of the Admin-
istration Building on what was to be the
final home of USC-Spartanburg. Such
growth has continued through 1990,
thus enabling the Spartanburg campus
to expand into the modern facility it is
today.
For twenty-two years, USCS has
served the community by educating its
young people at a reasonable cost.
Without this university, many young
adults would have had to leave the
Spartanburg area for an affordable edu-
cation, or possibly would have not
attended college.
During the 1989-90 academic year,
approximately 3500 students attended
the University of South Carolina at Spar-
tanburg. Thus, through their atten-
dance, 3500 students affirmed that
USCS is a distinct university.

Academics
It's such a small thing, the diploma. A tiny
rectangular booklet with your name in fancy
letters and an autograph from President Holder-
man sometimes does not match up with the
rewards you feel you should reap from your many
hours of work in college.
Sometimes you were the last one in lab finishing
an assignment that fascinated you. Other times the
computers would not cooperate and you were
forced to type a ten page assignment over twice.
You were always wondering if the professor
realized that you had other classes too. Sometimes
the class schedule had an itinerary packed so tightly
with readings and papers and midterms you won-
dered if you could be a full-time student on one
class alone.
When you did get into the classes that you
needed, you were there to learn and the greatest
feeling of all was when you actually read all six
chapters for the next lecture period.
Yes, it is a small thing. That degree does not match
up to half of what this university means to you, but
you have worked hard to earn that degree. There is
no doubt that USCS is destined for . . . distinction.

Going
for the
Gold
As the year progressed, encompassed
within was a year full of sports activ-
ities. Practice, sweat, pain, and tears
accompanied the teams through the
best and worst.
For each sport, practice always began long
before the start of the season. Volleyball, cross
country, and soccer began in the summer be-
fore the school year began.
Sweat was that perspiration that each athlete
encountered before performing his best. Pain
was that agonizing feeling that stemmed from
pulled muscles. Tears were those streams that
flowed from the eyes of students after watching
their team play with intensity, only to suffer a
loss.

There is an excellent balance between men and

Basketball has truly arrived at USCS. When

USCS in 1980, he inherited the men's basketball
team and led them to the NAIA District Six

hopes to repeat although the team is young yet
on the threshold of winning maturity.
Success of all fronts has brought a new sense

exciting, thanks to the cheerleaders, the pep
band, and the dance team.
Through it all, the best and the worst, each
team member, fan, and coach contribute to the
distinction of USCS.

As part of an added dimension, organiza-
tions of all types create the USCS distinc-
tion.
Winat does a club have to offer a stu-
dents* Members of clubs are able to gain a great deal
through participating in organizations. They are
offered the opportunity to meet with others who
share the same interests, to learn new ideas, and to
be of service to the club.
Clubs also allow the individuals the opportunity to
gain responsibility, especially if they are given the
opportunity to become officers. Many students
think that being an officer is a glamorous position,
but this is a total misconception. Many clubs do not
succeed because the officers they elect do not
realize the responsibilities that accompany the posi-
tion.
Officers of any organization must work together
to achieve success. These officers mean a great deal
to all phases of an organization. All the meetings,
fund raisers, and special activities must be planned
and coordinated by the officers with minimal help
from the advisor.
Thus, being a member of a club or organization
means much hard work, but most members will
agree that the clubs are loads of fun.
By serving the school and the community, mem-
bers of organizations show why USCS is destined for
. . . distinction.

Beyond the Books
ife at uses extends beyond the class-

I school year, it is the USCS social life that
*" brings back the fondest memories. This
year, USCS life included both campus spon-
sored events, as well as off-campus events,
from RIOTS, to sporting events, to parties.
Although USCS is known for its academic
excellence and the beauty of its campus, the
students of USCS most enjoy the many
extra-curricular activities offered here. It is
through these activities that we meet the
most important part of our college years and
the things that we will remember most —
our USCS friends.

Student Life is more than just athletic
games, homecoming, and Wet-and-Wild
Day. Students do more than just go to
class — they get involved.
They participate in any number of
activities, both in and out of school,
providing them with an opportunity to
meet others. Through their involvement
with organizations, students meet with
others of similar interests and are able to
serve the school and the community. In
athletics, the responsibility of being on a
team is rewarded by the glory of victory,
making all the pain worthwhile.
Outside of school, students gather
with friends and have a good time. Some
prefer to go to jTraxx to show off their
new dance step, some prefer to go to the
movies, some to hear their favorite group
in concert, and others prefer to cruise
and just hang out with their buddies.
The weekends may be seen as an
escape from the previous week of school
and a chance to enjoy one another's
company. Yes, students life at USCS is
destined for . . . distinction.

The Lighter Side
Student Lite at USCS is more
than just books, tests, and lec-
tures. Student Life is often times
found outside the classroom. Stu-
dent Life is supporting the Running
Rifles by attending the athletic
events and cheering them on to
the district championships. It is
eating pizza and enjoying enter-
tainers such as Ronny Romm and
Chris Brady at RIOTS on Wednes-
day afternoons. It is being en-
riched by guest speakers like Neil
Sheehan and Dr. Dorothy del
Bueno at convocations.
Student Life is being Creek and
proudly wearing your letters. It is
hanging out with friends between
classes in the Rifle Range or in the
Hodge Center at the "scope sta-
tion." It is showing off your athlet-
ic ability in intramurals and getting
soaked during Wet and Wild Day.
It is being involved in clubs and
organizations. It is helping others
through charitable projects such
as Habitat for Humanity and Red
Cross Blood Drive
Student Life is wearing the latest
fads and fashions. It is the crown-
ing of Miss USCS and a Homecom-
ing Queen. It is realizing that every
day can be a Monday It is being
late for class and having to park in
the "additional parking." It is try-
ing to decide on your major and
changing it three times before you
realize your "calling." It is
searching for the perfect resume
and the perfect job.
But most of all. Student Life is
what you'll remember the most
about your college days. The
times that you thought would last
forever. The times which make
Student Life at USCS "destined for
distinction."

New Kids on the Block
On August 29, 1989, freshmen got
their first feel of college life. Freshman
Orientation Day was designed to in-
troduce new students to USCS be-
fore classes begin. The day started in
the gym where all the students were
divided into touring groups. Group
leaders consisted of representatives
trom on-campus organizations. These
organizations included the Piedmont
Society, Student Government Asso-
ciation, Carolana, Carolinian, Gamma
Psi Delta Sorority, Sigma Delta Psi
Sorority, and Lambda Chi Alpha Fra-
ternity. The freshmen toured the
campus making stops in the Nursing
Building auditorium, the Activities
Building, the gym, and Tukey Theater.
In each of these areas, they enjoyed
short information sessions concerning
the campus and college life. After the
tours were over, the students re-
turned to the gym to hear from )ohn
Gardner of the USC-Columbia cam-
pus Freshmen learned more about
on-campus organizations by visiting
information booths at the end of the
day Games were provided by each
organization booth to increase fresh-
man participation.

Buying the Books
The one place at USCS that ev-
ery student must go is the book-
store. The bookstore is staffed by
full-time employees and students.
It supplies books for every class
offered during the semester. It also
sells notebooks, pencils, pens,
highlighters — everything one will
need in the classroom. School spir-
it is promoted here by the sell of
sweathshirts, t-shirts, sweaters,
and even baby bibs, all displaying
the "Running Rifle" logo. If you
want to munch on something be-
tween classes, the bookstore can
help with this too. Soft drinks, can-
dy bars, potato chips, and other
snacks are all available here. The
bookstore is usually where one
gets their first feel of their new
classes.

in blue - our public safety offi-
cers. Our Public Safety department
is made up of 13 officers, including
seven full-time and four part-time
professionals and tv^/o students.
They protect the students and
campus property 24 hours a day.
All public safety officers are
trained and certified by the South
Carolina Criminal Justice Academ>
and have the power of statewide
arrest. The officers enforce the
South Carolina traffic laws and is-
sue regular Uniform Traffic Cita-
tions. Most of the tickets are for
illegal parking or failure to register
vehicle but others have been given
for speeding, driving under the in-
fluence, and reckless driving. Pub-
lic safety officers are now seen in
the classroom. Officers |im Bowie
and Brian Mullinax conduct safety
and crime prevention programs on
eighteen different topics. These
topics include DUI and the new
laws, rape prevention, drug abuse,
and self-defense.

Delta Psi. The Camma Psis took the
rushees on a trip to Bedrock with the
Flintstones and Sigma Delta Psi brought
back the past with a Crease skit. A
scavenger hunt was provided by the
men of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity.
Rush week supplied other events such
as dinner at Sneakers sponsored by Sig-
ma Delta Psi on Tuesday and a Toyland
mixer with Camma Psi Delta and Lambda

provided preference ceremonies by both
sororities and a Hawaiian party by the
fraternity and Friday was finally Bid Day!
On Friday, bids were extended for
membership by all three organizations.
Camma Psi Delta Sorority pledged 11
rushees, Sigma Delta Psi pledged 6, and
Lambda Chi Alpha pledged 17 new mem-
bers. The organizations celebrated their
successes with mixers on Friday and Sat-
urday in honor of their new members.

Hey, What's Cookin?
Students received a treat as they
returned this fall. The cafeteria has
been taken over by a new company,
Epicure. Epicure offers more of a
variety for students during lunch or
class breaks. Instead of the basic
menu offered before, students can
decide on several different types of
foods. If the student is in a hurry but
yet wants a hot meal, he can eat the
hot, prepared food. This changes
from day to day and usually contains
meat and vegetables. If a light meal is
preferred, the student can enjoy a
prepared salad, soup, or deli sand-
wich. Students can also order ham-
burgers, hot dogs, and fries, which
are prepared as ordered. Breakfast is
also served in the morning. For break-
fast, one can choose from many items
including biscuits, eggs, and bacon.

Lunch
Time
Lunch Time is a favorite
time of the day for most
students. It gives them a
break between classes
and a chance to quiet
their growling stomachs
that have embarrassed
them through the last two
classes. Students an-
swered, concerning their
lunch time habits, when
questioned "What and
where do you usually eat
lunch?":
Patty Dotson — "Whopper
with cheese and fries from Bur-
ger King."
Joel Matthews — "Ham sand-
wiches at home."
Sonja Ruppe — "Various food in
the cafeteria."
Gourmet burgers — Epicure
offers a wide variety to satisfy
any taste.

A Helping Hand
Spartanburg Colleges and Universi-
ty Chapter Habitat for Humanity was
originated to channel the efforts of
college students to help build decent
affordable houses for God's people in
need. Spartanburg Colleges and Uni-
versity Chapter is unique because it
consists of four area colleges —
uses, SMC, Wofford and Converse
Our college chapter has set a goal to
raise enough money to build a home
which is about $28,000. Dunng the
Fall semester, the college chapter pre-
sented Spartanburg Habitat with a
check for $3000 as our first install-
ment. On the Spartanburg Colleges
and University
Board, Dr. Tom
Davis served as
vice-president
and treasurer
while Jennifer
Chase served as
president and
)oni Rush served
as chair of public-
ity and promo-
tions. Gamma Psi
Delta Sorority
held a rock-
a-thon which
generated over
$300 toward our
goal. Along with
Gamma Psi Del-
ta, Sigma Delta Psi and the Freshman
Advisory Council sponsored a side of
the Habitat House Banks that were
placed around campus in the spnng
semester. Many individuals and
groups contributed much of their
time to help stuff over 5000 enve-
lopes for Spartanburg Habitat during
late November. Many students, facul-
ty and staff donated time to the con-
struction of houses that are being
built by Spartanburg Habitat
Getting Involved — Everyone wanted a
piece of the action Habitat participates in all
the constructing of a house from nailing the
walls together to painting the final product
Lending a hand — Dr Olln Sansbury helps in the construction of one of the houses built by
Spartanburg Habitat Many USCS students, faculty, and staff got involved in the act of helping
others.
The Finished Product — This is an example of one of the houses built by Spartanburg Habitat.
Habitat for Humanity was formed to help eliminate the problem of housing by providing decent
affordable housing for the less fortunate.
H.A*B«I«T«A«T
The first installment — loni Rush, Angela lohnson, and

Tony Campolo
Tony Campolo spoke
at Converse College on
October 8, 1989 in
Twitchell Auditorium. He
spoke on the topic of
"Pulling Together In A
World That Is Falling
Apart." This was his Chris-
tian response to a world in
need. Mr. Campolo is a
professor at Eastern Col-
lege in Pennsylvania and
the founder and president
of Evangelical Association
for the Promotion of Edu-
cation, an organization in-
volved in education, med-
ical, and economic pro-
grams in various Third
World countries. He is an
active supporter of mis-
sion projects in urban
communities. Mr. Cam-
polo has written many
books with his most re-
cently published ones be-
ing 20 Hot Potatoes
Christians are Afraid to
Touch and Crowing up in
America. A love offering
was taken up after Mr.
Campolo's speech. The
money was for Colleger
Habitat for Humanity to
use towards the construc-
tion of their house.

Tomorrow's Leaders
The Leadership Development Pro-
gram was developed in the fall of
1988. The main objective of this pro-
gram is to provide the opportunity for
selected students to reach their fullest
potential as leaders. The program is
spread over a two year period and
offers between six and eight hours of
credit. Students participating in Lead-
ership Development are challenged
to develop to their fullest potential as
a leader. The program provides op-
portunities to interact with leaders in
the community as well as leaders on
campus and includes an internship
that enables you to apply your leader-
ship skills. This internship may consist
of becoming involved with communi-
ty programs or campus organizations.
To qualify for the Leadership Devel-
opment Program, you must be willing
to make a two year commitment and
demonstrate a strong interest. You
also must be a sophomore or junior,
be in good academic standing, com-
plete an application form, and be
chosen by a committee. The program
has been quite successful so far. This is
another example why USCS students
are "destined for distinction."
Don't Fall! — Monica lenkins balances her-
self on a wire as she tries to get to the oth
er side.
Is everyone on? — Members of the Leadership Development class try to squeeze everyone on
the boards The class participated in a ropes course.

course. This is one of the re-

pate in,
A Car Show — Clint Button's
Internship involved one of his
favorite hobbles. Clint's intem-
ship was Teen Fest, who rais-
ed money from the car show
for the teen club The Ware-
house.
The
Benefits
Many students enrolled
in the Leadership Develop-
ment Program. The pro-
gram is designed to encour-
age students to develop
their leadership abilities and
provides means for them to
put these abilities into ac-
tion. Since the program be-
gan in the Fall of 1988, the
first class completed the
program this year. Some re-
sponses concerning the
benefits of the Leadership
Development Program
from participating are as fol-
lows:
Kathy Greene — "I am in
my final year with the Lead-
ership Development Pro-
gram. I now know what it
takes to be a leader and the
qualities of a good leader.
This semester I will be doing
my internship with the Sal-
vation Army. I will get to put
to use some of the skills that
I have learned. I benefited
from the program in that I
learned what it takes to be a
leader and I can grow from
what I have learned. I rec-
ommend this program for
all wanting to learn about
leadership."
Jennifer Chase — "Partici-
pating in Leadership Devel-
opment has enabled me to
see that great leaders are
not born; they are real peo-
ple with a vision that
through hard-work and de-
termination their visions be-
come reality."

Enriching USCS
Convocations at USCS are a time
for special programs and speakers.
They occur eight to ten times
throughout the school year and each
one usually lasts about an hour. Con-
vocations have been the subject of
controversy around USCS lately. This
is because the campus literally shuts
down when a convocation is sched-
uled - classes are cancelled, the
library is closed, and the labs are
closed. This is done in order to boost
attendance at the convocation as well
as give everyone an equal opportun-
ity to attend including teachers, facul-
ty, and staff. When asked about con-
vocations, most students enjoy
classes being cancelled but disagree
with the closing of the library, labs,
and cafeteria. They believe the time
could be used to study if they were
not particularly interested in the con-
vocation speaker. Teachers occa-
sionally give extra credit for atten-
dance at convocations and others
teachers make attendance a require-
ment This also helps with attendance
and allows students to hear an inter-
esting speaker which they may have
not chosen to hear. The speakers are
chosen by a convocation committee
the summer before each school year.
Convocations have been a good tra-
dition at USCS and will continue to
benefit the students and faculty alike.

Serious business — Dr. Olin B Sansbury is
serious about introducing the next
convocation speaker
Entertaining the crowd — Robert Kuttner, a well-known economist and journalist, spoke on the conse-
quences of the Global Marketplace Mr. Kuttner was sponsored by the School of Business Administration
and Economics.

Opinions
Convocations have be-
come a tradition at USCS.
Each school usually spon-
sors a speaker during the
year to speak on a subject
related to the basic con-
centration in that school.
Students, as well as facul-
ty and staff, benefit from
these speakers. Here is
what Sonne students com-
mented when asked their
opinion of convocations:
Tim Rogers — "I like them
because classes are can-
cailed!"
Ava Pridemore — "I don't
like teachers requiring us
to go — I believe atten-
dance should be option-
al."
Dana Bucci — "I really
enjoy the speakers. The
topics are usually very in-
teresting."

A War or A Conflict?
Vietnam was a major focal point
tor study this past fall semester at
uses. Many activities were designed
for discussion and exploration of this
topic The Fine Arts, Language, and
Literature division of the School of
Humanities and Sciences sponsored
most of these activities. Students tak-
ing English 101 during the fail semes-
ter got their taste of Vietnam. Most
English professors required their stu-
dents to read books on Vietnam,
attend lectures and roundtable dis-
cussions, and write papers on their
reaction to the war.
Among the many events held in
order to learn more about Vietnam
was an art exhibit. The art gallery,
located on the first floor of the Smith
Building, displayed paintings and
drawings depicting the war. The art
pieces were from a variety of artists,
all portraying their reactions. Another
Vietnam-oriented event was the con-
vocation featuring Neil Sheehan. Mr.
Sheehan spoke to students, faculty
and staff in October on incidents that
occurred in Vietnam. Mr. Sheehan's
book, A Bright Shining Lie, became a
popular item in the USCS bookstore.
General William Westmoreland also
enlightened students with his comments
concerning Vietnam and the war that
never should have been. Colonel Earl
Hopper also told of his experiences in
the Vietnam ordeal. Debates and round-
table discussions were other events. Dr.
Ron Romine, Dr. )ohn Wilson and Dr.
Dunn, from Converse College, held
these roundtable discussions. These
helped give students a deeper knowl-
edge of the war. By making USCS stu-
dents and faculty more aware of this
often misunderstood conflict, only
proves once again why USCS is "des-
tined for distinction."

Speaking
Out
Many students learned
alot from the Vietnam topic
this year By expbring this
topic with speakers, stu-
dents are more aware of
the feelings of the partici-
pants and the actual events
of the war. Here are the
reactions of some students
when asked to share their
personal feelings concern-
ing Vietnam;
Shane Workman — "I be-
lieve America was right in
going to Vietnam to free it
from communist aggression
but the United States gov-
ernment was wrong in not
altowing us to invade North
Vietnam or cross into Cam-
bodia and Laos which
would have enabled us to
win."
Sheiry HolHingworth — 1
think it was a waste of time
because alot of people died
that shouldn't have. We
should have stayed out of
Their problems."
Brad Cole — "I have afot of
respect for those involved
because they stood up for
their country."

Just Hangin' Out
Most college students do more
than just study and go to class. They
lind time to have fun and just "hang
out." AW colleges have places where
students go to take a break from their
hectic and busy class schedules. The
most popular nights for USCS stu-
dents to go out are Thursdays, the
weekend warm-up, Fridays, and Sat-
urdays. For students who are 21 years
old or older, the Nu-Way, Clancey's
and Bradny's are popular hang-outs in
Spartanburg. For those who like to
dance, | Traxx in Spartanburg and
Encores in Greenville provide the ide-
al atmosphere. For a more of a quiet
evening, students enjoy seeing the
latest movies at one of Spartanburg's
SIX movie theaters. Bowling and Putt-
Putt also supply a fun and sporty night
out Parties are still a favorite activity
tor students. Rifle Ridge, Pinegate,
and Hunter's Glen are popular places
tor USCS parties. Other students
choose to stay at home with friends
and just watch movies. Whatever
they decide to do, students will make
the most of their free time before it is
back to the books.

Cinema is a favorite place to see the latest
movies USCS students can choose from six
area theaters if they prefer a night at the
movies.

to take time out from
studying and enjoy the
so-called "best days of
their life." Like ail colleges,
uses students have their
favorite places to go to be
u'ith friends, relax, and
just have a good time.

ferent atmospheres
among different people
and in different places.

Exam Jam '89
With one week before finals, you
would expect students to be fran-
tically trying to catch up on the work
they have neglected since the
Thanksgiving break or doing some
early studying so they will not have to
burn ihe midnight oil all next week.
Well, students at USCS were an ex-
ception this year to this pre-exam
week routine. On December 6, 1989,
one week before exams. Campus
Activity Board sponsored the 1989

books for a night of dancing and
jamming with The Boomers. The per-
formance was held in the Auxiliary
gym. It began after the Rifle basketball

dents in attendance. Students enjoyed
dancing to the latest hits performed by
the band. CAB provided refreshments

most dreaded weel< be-
cause it is your last chance

you get no sleep because
of the "all-nighter" study
sessions. It is the week
you consume more cof-
fee than you thought you
would ever drink. It is the
week when you must find
a quiet place to study,
uses students told the
Carolana where they
study for their exams:

A Future, A Fortune
The cost of going to college is a
major expense for most students and
parents. The cost of tuition seems to
be increasing annually at most institu-
tions, including USCS. Many college
students are having to take out loans
and continually apply for grants. This
is causing the average student loan
debts of college graduates to mount
up every year. Soon almost all gradu-
ates will have accumulated a debt
upon graduation.
Tuition increases constitute many
opportunities for the academic insti-
tution. As long as an academic institu-
tion is committed to quality costs will
continue to be a concern. Increases in
Financial Aid — With tuition increase becoming
more common, more and more students are
checking in on loans, grants, and scholarships.
Acquiring a debt — Doua Lo tills out her loan
papers for the Spring semester Many students are
having to take out student loans to afford an
education.
tuition are used for faculty salaries, to
maintain quality professors, and to
keep up with the ever-growing
knowledge and technology bases.
The institution must have new labora-
tory equipment, new computers,
new books, and other essential inno-
vations. Also part of the revenue
from the increase goes to student aid
Contributions do not help with these
existing costs but only increase edu-
cational opportunities such as scholar-
ships. Tuition will probably continue
to increase only causing students to
pay what seems like a fortune for a
future.

tion Building to direct students to the Cashier's office to

school year. Tuition was
raised from $1600 a year
to $1750 a year for South
Carolina residents. USCS
continue to provide an
excellent education at a
fair price. The Carolana
asked some students how
they felt about the cost of
tuition and the education
that they are receiving at
USCS:
Kristi Henderson — '1
think tuition is reasonable
and I feel we have great
teachers."
Carole Rice — "I feel I am
receiving a quality educa-
tion at a fair price."
Todd Rogers — "I feel the
professors are very well
qualified, the courses are
challenging, and the tu-
ition is reasonable."

Choosing The Right Career
The Counseling and Career Devel-
opment Center provides valuable in-
formation and services to students The
Center has two counselors, Resa Walch
and Carol Smith, who assist students
inn their search for a major and a
career. Students can use Sigi Plus, a
computer system that helps explore
career choices and matches the stu-
dent's interests with potential careers
There are also several interest tests
which the Center provides to help
identify the best career for the student
The counselors are also available to just
discuss any problems one may be hav-
ing. Students can also find information
on graduate schools and graduate
school entrance exams such as the
LSAT and GMAT The counselors also
hold several workshops a semester on
a varsity of topics for both students and
faculty/staff.
The Counseling and Career Devel-
opment Center has a plan of action for
students. Career Pursuit. In the fresh-
man year, students should self-explore
career decisions. As sophomores, stu-
dents should begin exploring different
careers. By the junior year, students
should have narrowed down their ca-
reer choices and be preparing for the
job search. As a senior, students should
be actively involved in the job search
process.
On Your Mark ... — The Career Pursuit board, located
outside the Counseling and Career Development Center,

What
To Be
Choosing a major is a
difficult tasi< for some stu-
dents. Many students will
change their major two or
three times before they
figure out what it is that
they really want to do.
Once the right major is
found, the challenge
moves to finding the right
career. Some students
replied as follows when
asked, "What is your ma-
jor and why did you
choose it?":
Stephanie Lovelace —
"My major is Elementary
Education because I enjoy
being around children and
want to help shape their
future."
DeeAn Jarvis — "Ac-
counting is my major. I
CHOSE IT SO I would
make lots of money."
Lori Ann Poole — "I
chose Secondary Educa-
tion as my major because
I want to help others and
to give a little back to
education of what was
given to me."

On the
Side
Intramurals pro-
vide a lot of fun and
excitetnent and exer-
cise for many stu-
dents. By participat-
ing, it gives them a
chance to make new
friends and experi-
ence the thrill of
competition. The
Carolana questioned
some uses students,
"Why do you enjoy
participating in intra-
murals?":
John Jones — "Be-
cause it gives you a
chance to meet oth-
er students and get
exercise."
Laura Seymour — "It
gives me a chance to
participate in activ-
ities that otherwise
would be unavail-
able to me."
Billy Smith — "I en-
joy the competition

A Riot!?
What's fun and exciting, happens
on Wednesday afternoons and occa-
sionally at night and provides free
food' Its a RIOT - A Really Intense
Outrageous Time. RIOTs are spon-
sored by the Campus Activity Board
Various types of entertainers are
brought on campus to perform for
uses students. Free food, usually
Dominoes pizza, is often provided to
encourage student participation This
year CAB brought back two all-time
favorites - Ronny Romm and Chris
Brady. Ronny Romm started the RIOTs
off for the 1989-90 school year. His
psychic abilities once again amazed a
large crowd of students. Chris Brady
thrilled students at an evening RIOT.
He sang crowd favorites including
limmy Buttet and Eagles songs Chris
Brady took requests from the audi-
ence and even had Sonja Ruppe and
Alison Hunt from the Gamma Psi Del-
ta Sorority join him on stage for one
of his sing-a-longs Other RIOTs in-
cluded readings from Jonathan Frid of
"Dark Shadows"; a performance by
the band The Green Olives; Rick
Kelley, singing the best of Motown;
and a showing of the "Rocky Horror
Picture Show" on Halloween. So next
time someone yells "RIOT!" Don't
panic because it is only a Really In-
tense Outrageous Time and it is alot
of fun!

Favorite
RIOTs are a fun break for
students from their busy class
schedules. RIOTs are scheduled
during the break usually on
Wednesdays or Fridays. This
year, however, some RIOTs
were also scheduled for the
evenings. The student re-
sponse was great fro both day
and evening RIOTs. Everyone
has their favorite perfonners.
These are some of the favor-
ites that were mentioned when
the Carolana asked, "What
was your favorite RIOT?":
Denlse Hardin — "Chris Brady
because there were alot of
people there and I like his mu-
sic."
Jill Bishop — "Rick Kelley be-
cause he was very energetic
and gets the students in-
volved."
David Sims — "Risque Business
because I felt the actors did a
great job."

ways fun to be had by J at a

Monday Again?
We have all had them - days
when everything we touch goes
wrong. Ironically, those days always
seem to fall on Monday when we are
so desperately trying to recover from
the weekend and get back into some
type of routine. The term "Manic
Monday" has been used to describe
days when - you sleep until 7:00 on
a day that you have an 8:00 class,
there is nothing decent in your closet
to wear and no time to eat breakfast.
You grab your books and out the
door you go only to find that your car
won't start so you have to take dad's
old clunker. M school, you run to
class and try to slip in the door with
out too much noise. The teacher cuts
his eyes at you as he continues to
work a math problem. Wouldn't you
know it — you're without your
homework and it's the first time all
semester he decides to take it up to
be graded. On the way home, a cop
pulls you over for doing 55 mph in a
35 mph zone. You accept the ticket
and drive straight home without any
plans to leave the house because you
realize it has been "lust another Man-
ic Monday I" -Patty Bagwell
Last minute studying — Michelle Cater
crams tor a test before class. Monday seems
like a good day for test, at least that's what
many professors think.
Taking a break
Not a pleasant sight

Oh No!
Mondays seem to be the
day that whatever could
possibly go wrong, does go
wrong. It is the day you
forget your homework,
you have a pop test in ev-
ery class, and, of course,
you are not prepared, you
oversleep, you can't find a
parking place except in the
"additional parking" lot, and
you wonder why you just
did not stay at home in the
bed all day. Many students
often dread to see Monday
roll arourKl. The Carolana
asked students to tell us
about their worst Monday.
Brian Dismukes — "I found
a really great parking place
on a rainy Monday, only to
open my door and step
ankle-deep into a puddle of
water."
MicheUe Taylor — "I had
an- SNA meeting at 12:00
•p.m. but thought it was at
1:00 p.m. and sat in my car
and read through the
whole meeting."
Tatty Bagwell — "1 wore
sweats to school — I forgot
1 was suppose to dress up
for a meeting. I had to go
home and change."

Preparing Professionals
The Placement Office at USCS is an
opportunity often missed by many stu-
dents. The Placement Office offers valu-
able ser\ices to USCS students. Al-
though all USCS students are wel-
comed, the office is geared mostly
towards seniors. Here seniors can partic-
ipate in workshops given by the Direc-
tor of Placement on resume writing,
interviewing, and )ob search skills. They
also can get assistance with the prepara-
tion of their resume and information on
job opportunities. Seniors are eligible to
participate in specific recruitment days
held for their particular major or in on-
campus interviews. A Placement library
is available with many books, articles,
company literature and examples for
your job search. Underclassmen can
find valuable information in the Place-
ment Office, too Part-time jobs, off-
campus and on-campus, are posted in
this office and are available for students
to apply for employment. The Place-
ment Office also holds an annual Career
Fair and Summer job Fair Students can
learn more about their chosen career
fields and specific company information
by interacting with professionals. Ex-
plore the Placement Office; you may be
surprised'

On My
Own
Once you reach your
senior year of college you
should start preparing to
search for a job. The first
step is to prepare a re-
sume to sell yourself to
potential employers. As
you begin constructing
your resume, you have to
decide exactly what it is
you want to do. Several
students told the Car-
olana their career objec-
tive:
Candace Harmon — "To
take Dan Rather's place
on the CBS News!"
Susan Hayes — "To be an
accountant so I can make
enough money to sup-
port myself and my
child."
Sherry Hollingsworth —
"To eventually earn a
Ed.D and teach math at a
university."

Working On-Campus
The 1989-90 school year brought a
change to the on-campus student
employment process^ Previously,
most students got on-campus jobs by
word-of-mouth from other students
or professors or through the Financial
Aid Office. There was really no formal
process and only lucky students or
students qualifying for financial aid
got hired for these jobs. Now the
hiring process is more complex and
gives students a more equal oppor-
tunity for on-campus jobs. The first
step for students wanting an on-cam-
pus job is to visit the Placement Of

fice, located on the second floor of
the Administration Building. Here the
student views the bulletin board
which lists all on-campus jobs. The
next step is to fill out an on-campus
student employment employment
application. If you are interested in
one of the jobs on the board and are
qualified, this application will be for-
warded to the person in charge of
hiring for that specific job. If you did
not find a job you were interested in
or did not qualify for one, your appli-
cation is filed and reviewed as other
jobs are submitted to the Placement
Office. Your application will then be
forwarded to a job in which you qualify.
Once your application has been for-
warded, the person in charge of hiring
for that job reviews all applications
which he received. He then interviews
candidates for the position and makes a
decision. The applications of students
not hired are routed back to the Place-
ment Office to be filed. Your application
then starts the process all over again.

There are a variety of dif-

students which come
with many different tasks,
from typing letters to gra-

the out-going mail. Here
are what some student as-

Tim Friar — "Because you

Toni Nusz — "I like work-

The most awaited event in college
life is graduation. The hard work and
dedication of four years culminates in
the presentation of a college degree
at the graduation ceremony. This dig-
nified ceremony serves as the final
recognition for the efforts put forth
by those graduating. The purpose of
a college education is to teach one
how to think. The fulfillment of this
purpose prepares college graduates
for the real world by enabling them to
deal effectively with decisions that
must be made in successful business
ventures. It is a major accomplish-
ment to complete the requirements
for a college degree. A great many of
those students who enter college do

tion and a desire to succeed that
finally attain a Bachelor's degree.
Most importantly, it is up to those
who receive college degrees to be-
come the leaders of tomorrow. With-
out well-educated individuals to press
forward the research needed to bet-
ter society, the world would cease to
advance in scientific technology, as
well as in business and social struc-
tures.

We will cherish where

With my arms around my

Most students will agree that they
enjoy watching an athletic team anni-
hilate an opponent, but would these
same students be willing to sacrifice
the majority of their time and energy
to make a winning team? Students
often envy the prestige of owning a
team jacket with their name written
across the back or the pride of being a
district champion, but these honors
result only from endless hours of train-
ing.
Athletes are a special breed of peo-
ple who set high goals for themselves
and do everything physically possible
to achieve these goals. They endure
the cuts, bruises, and broken bones,
all for a single moment of victory.
Through it all, the best and the
worst, each team member, fan, and
coach, contributes by keeping USCS
destined for . . . distinction.

21-10 and advanced to the
District Six semifinals, have
an excellent opportunity to
win the district.

This year the Lady Rifles
began their final season of
District Six before they go to

during the 1990-91 season.
As a result, the Lady Rifles will
be facing stiffer competition
in Division II schools, who
they must play as LISCS com-
plies with the switch in affilia-
tions, and the usual battles in
the district.
"I feel we have been com-
petitive thus far in the sea-
son. Our first game against
Lincoln Memorial was our
toughest so far," said head
coach Tammy Holder. "A
winning season is still ex-
tremely probable and a 20-

Baseball was added as an Intercollegiate
sport at uses in 1986. During the first season,
coach John Daurity and a new, talented ball
team made a name for USCS Baseball. They
advanced to the District Six playoffs, finishing
third with a record of 34-18-1. During their
second season, the Rifles did not miss a beat as
they advanced to the playoffs and finished
second with a record of 36-9. Last season the
Rifles again advanced to the playoffs with a
record of 35-10. Coach Daunty predicts that
this season should be as exciting as previous
ones with a winning season, another playoff
appearance, and perhaps a first place trophy.
Three playoffs out of there season and an
overall record of 103-37-1 is definitely some-
thing to be proud of, and a great way to begin
a new era of sports at USCS.

About the Coach
It takes a great coach to make a great team,
uses was very fortunate to acquire coach
John Daurity to begin the baseball program.
He is widely respected and known for his
ability in his field. Formerly the head coach of
the Wofford Terriers, he had previously spent
ten years coaching and teaching at various
high schools. During his five seasons at
Wofford, he recei\ed the honor of NAIA
District Six Coach of the Year, and had three of
his players drafted by professional teams. In
the short time he has spent at USCS, there
have been twelve players drafted by pro
teams. His skill, effort, and patience have been
shown on and off the field. )ohn Daurity is a
wonderful man and the backbone of Rifle
Baseball.

Other accomplishments include beating

Competitive Amusements 103
When an individual enters USCS, he will pass
hundreds of meaningless faces known only to
those that are familiar with the visages. Maybe it is
the look of someone who has failed a big test or
maybe it is the look of drive and determination in
the eyes of an athlete.
From the first week that students arrived at
USCS to the last, the campus bustled with classes,
parties, RIOTS, studying and just run of the mill
congregating among friends and professors.
Freshmen being initiated to college life found
orientation and registration a prodigious ordeal —
quite a different experience.
However, anomalies changed into familiarities
as students learned the ways of college life. A
way that is singular, like no other that these
students will know in any other stage in their life.
Although a commuter campus college, USCS
offered a great variety of involvement for stu-
dents. Publications sought help, the Student Gov-
ernment Association solicited for members, con-
certs were held and occasionally a beer bust was
held on the soccer field.
For those not wanting to participate in anything
strenuous, there was always an empty table in
the Hodge Center to be used for relaxing and
conversing.
All of the faces, personalities, and impressions
contribute to the USCS distinction.

Dr. Dlin B.
Sansbury, Jr.
Dr. Olin B. Sansbury, |r. has had a distinct influence on USCS while serving as
chancellor. Before coming to USCS, he held many prominent positions in the
educational realm. When asked what makes USCS a distinct university, he replied, "The
most significant thing is the close relationship and identity with the area that it serves."
He also referred to the school's community ties as having a positive effect on the
students from the Upstate, as well as students from other areas.

Carolina Piedmont
Foundation
The Carolina Piedmont Foundation was started in 1973 to "accept gifts of charitable
benevolent, cultural and educational purposes for the exclusive use of the University of
South Carolina at Spartanburg." The organization is governed by interested citizens of
the Upstate community who wish to support the university. The president of the
Carolina Piedmont Foundation is Senator Horace Smith. The foundation has been

A college education requires more than classroom
instruction because well-roundedness is acquired
through a learning process involving interaction, re-
sponsibility, and commitment. USCS offers an array or
organizations for student involvement in order to
uphold the institution's dedication to academic stud-
ies. By participating in various organizations, USCS
students have the opportunity to grow intellectually,
as well as physically, socially, and culturally
The religious organizations offer individuals spintual
support and fellowship. Participants find spiritual en-
richment as they strengthen their faith and share with
others. In addition to the religious groups, the more
philanthropic students find personal satisfaction in
helping others in the service organizations. Partici-
pants learn that commitment to such organizations
benefits both the community and the service mem-
ber.
Students who excel academically are granted
membership to the various honor societies which
provide incentive and reward to the diligent students.
Individuals in these honor societies are judged on
character, loyalty, and school service before they gain
acceptance. The more creative students gain experi-
ence and develop their talents by working with the
literary magazine, the newspaper, the yearbook, and
the musical organizations.
Whether the benefits be social, spiritual, or
character-building, students find participation in USCS
organizations personally rewarding and an important
part of a college education.

'To present to athletes and
coaches, and ail whom they influ-
ence, the challenge and adven-
ture of receiving Jesus Christ as
Savior and Lord, serving Him in
their relationships and in the fel-
lowship of the Church." This is the
commitment of the F.C.A.
Under the leadership of club
president Kenneth Nelson, the
F.C.A. is responsible for many of
the community service projects
on campus. One example is the
Huddle Program that encourages
future F.C.A. involvement of the
area high school and college stu-
dents at the adult level while
building on the spiritual founda-
tion set from the junior high Hud-
die experience.
In addition to being the baseball coach, John Daurity also advises the F.C.A.

Student Government
Association
The SGA is a student organization
that has grown tremendously over
the past few years. The SGA is a vital
part of the USCS campus, it is
manned by 60 active members.
Under the guidance of President
Stacy Seay, the Student Government
Association has accomplished many
goals set at the beginning of the year
such as discussing the parking prob-
lems with Chancellor Olin. B. Sansb-
ury as well as banning smoking here
on the USCS campus.
The SGA developed a new slogan
this year, "The Honor Is To Serve,"
because the SGA understands that
the most important function is to
serve, insuring that all student needs
are met at all levels. The SGA is
composed of elected officials who
strive to conduct student affairs ef-
fectively.
This year, in order to project a
more positive reputation of USCS,
five members of the SGA, Stacey
Seay, Jennifer Broome, Sharone
Teamer, Ainsley Williams, and Chris
Rider, participated in the Educational
Opportunity (ED-OP) Night as the
area high schools.

The Carolinian
The Carolinian, which began in
1968, has undergone many changes
inn its twenty-one year history. Since
each year usually brings a new editor
and staff, the paper has seen
numerous design and style changes
which have also been influenced by
current styles and trends.
While the staff does have fun,
producing a newspaper is serious
work. Typically, most of the editors
work everyday except Thursday,
and, on Wednesday, — the day the
paper is put together — most of the
staff spends the entire day and night
in the office.

Campus
Activity
Board
Prior to 1987, the programming
function performed by CAB was the
responsibility of the Entertainment
Committee Chairperson Karen
Wood. She attempted to enhance
the prestige and to increase campus
awareness of this organization by
developing an identity separate
from the SGA. The adoption of the
name Campus Activity Board and
the design of the CAB logo were
two steps in this process. At the end
of the 1987-88 school year this sep-
aration was formalized. The Cam-
pus Activity Board drew up a consti-
tution, and through the vote of the
SGA full senate, became a separate
entity devoid of SGA control. CAB is
now a fully functioning program-
ming board with four paid positions,
carrying out the responsibility of
programming a wide variety of ac-
tivities and events for the benefit of
the entire student body.

Freshmen Advisory Council
The FAC, formerly PALS, is a
voluntary service which works

In the Spring of 1985, FAC be-
came an official organization
when a constitution and by-laws
were drafted and approved by
the Student Affairs office.
The FAC is open to all second
semester freshmen and upper-
classmen who are familiar with
the campus and want to do the

The fraternity of Lambda Chi
Alpha was colonized at USCS
April 10, 1984. The high standards
and ideals of the International
headquarters made it hard for the
small colony to carry on. With the
help of a very successful alumnist,
the colony received its charter on
April 16, 1988.
The colony grew in size and has
become a major force in student
activities through soccer games
and blood drives. The colony has
also assisted in many prospective
student visitation days by serving
as guides, messengers, and clean-
up crews. The colony also reaches
out to the community. The Lamb-
das raised money for the Diabetes
Foundation. Their blood drives
have enabled the less fortunate to

Studying, of course, was part of the year. That
was why each student applied for admission to
college, to study. Yet it seemed that some students
had to be prodded each step of the way. The year
was filled with students skipping class, turning
assignments in late and not doing the assigned
readings.
Studying was to serve a purpose— to become
better educated beings— and the university want-
ed proof that the students were holding up to their
end of the bargain. Thus the GAAP test was given
to the sophomores as a standard to evaluate the
students on a holistic level.
Term papers were brought to the computer age
as library searches were expedited with the installa-
tion of the computerized card catalog. A struggling
student could always find support, through peers
and mentors alike.
One step closer the students set forth in their
search of their niche in society.
Although there are students who are content
with "just getting by", there are those students who
aim for higher goals. Awards and achievements are
a vital motivational force for the outstanding stu-
dents on campus. It honors those who have
worked diligently throughout their educational ca-
reers. Awards and achievements range from schol-
arships to service awards for organizational involve-
ment. Each recipient is deserving of their honors.

The end of May has a significant meaning to USCS
liors. All looked ahead to new experiences, yet
. ctter prepared for them because of USCS. They
knew that their diploma meant more than just
graduation, it also meant student life that was active,
sports that brought national attention to their win-
ning records, academics that both challenged and
frustrated, faculty who supported and encouraged,
organizations that added an opportunity for involve-
ment, and fellow students who helped each other
grow and have fun together Being at USCS made a
difference for everyone who was here— a difference
that made them a marketable prospective employ-
ees and cultivated the progress of the whole person.
Since its founding, USCS has witnessed the ever
changing community of Spartanburg. More and
more each year the city expands and further devel-
ops commercially, yielding a vast variety of busi-
nesses.
Many businesses in the area buy advertisements in
the yearbook as a way of advertising and showing
support for the school.
A major advantage in purchasing an ad in the
yearbook is that the 3500 students are not the only
readers of the yearbook. The faculty, staff, adminis-
trators, parents, and businesses also see the adver-
tisements and therefore patronize their business.
It is through the Carolana that the community
recognizes the school and the school recognizes the
community.

At the beginning of
September each stu-
dent embarked on a
year unlike any other
before.
The out-of-the-or-
dinary and unspeak-
able became every-
day and common-
place. No sane person
would ever believe
that a person would
stand in line for over an
hour to change a class.
And that same student
would later in the year
volunteer time to raise
money for a charity, or
give a pint of much
needed blood. These
are some of the behav-
iors that brought stu-
dents closer.
There were suc-
cesses and there were
failures. Of course,
each student wanted
to forget the failures,
whether playing on
the field, in the aca-
demic field or in the
personal field.
Each student began
the year poised for
perfection. Hopes
were high. Goals were
set. For some, this
would be the end of
their days in college
— closer than before.
For others, this would
be the beginning. For
all, this year was des-
tined for ... distinc-
tion.

Adding a new perspective from each student is
how the university grows and progresses toward its
academic goal of excellence. The input from the
collective minds of the student body helps to build
upon the USCS tradition. This interaction takes the
thoughts of years past and adapts them for use in a
future context, allowing the university to develop
and grow.
All students add to as well as takes from this
institution certain aspects and characteristics which
are unique to their educational experience. Through
interaction with others, we gain a great deal of
insight and information about the world around us.
Opening doors to knowledge and imparting that
unto others allows the dialogue of shared ideas to
be continued. This unique exchange of ideas is one
in which the student as well as the school will be
enhanced forever.
With its vast array of classes, organizations, and
social activities, USCS allows students to experiment
with many opportunities which are new and differ-
ent.
All of these aspects have allowed USCS to be-
come destined for . . . distinction.

changing color of the trees.

For some reason, you keep coming back.
Your last final exam has been completed. You
just want to say "good riddance" and "No more
pencils, no more books, no more teachers ..."
What a year. Sometimes you were so busy
you didn't know whether you'd be able to get
everything done.
And then graduation. All those who were
able to study as well as participate in other
college activities got a chance to show off.
Underclassmen gazed longingly at the black-
clad rows of students in the Quad. Graduates-
to-be looked around at each other, wondering if
they would met in person they were standing
next to before; a long time ago. You speculated
how that diploma was going to feel in your
hands, and knew that no matter how mans
others went through the same ritual before you,
your own experience was going to be distinc-
tive.

As the year comes down to an end,
Spartanburg and USCS have grown. Many
new food establishments have staked their
claim in Spartanburg. Also, brand new apart-
ments have been constructed. Not only has
Spartanburg grown, USCS has grown, with
it. A new building is in the process of
construction in order to better serve the size
and needs of the campus. The athletic teams
have added numerous District Six champ-
ionships to our honor. The clubs and organi-
zations also experienced growth. Some
clubs became more active and some receiv-
ed their largest membership ever. Growth
occurred academically, athletically, and in
organizations. This sentence ends "Destined
for Distinction", a story filled with growth,
accomplishments, victories, honors and
most of all, people.

Editor's
Notes
When I was chosen to be the editor of the
Carolana in November, I had no idea what the
future was to bring. Filled with excitement and
apprehension, I undertook the task. Hodge 244 has
never been the same.
The hours that the staff and I have spent in the
yearbook room amongst croppers, grease pencils,
layout sheets, and copy sheets have been filled
with laughter and exasperation. Meeting deadlines
is a chore which every yearbook staff must face; to
us, they have meant spending many Friday eve-
nings, Saturday mornings, and holidays in that hot
Hodge building. When deadlines are not met
because of an incorrectly drawn layout, editors
tend to get irate. When the tension is about to
snap, one must laugh. It is at these times that I am
thankful to have such a hard-working, diligent staff.
The completion of the Carolana would be
impossible without the help of many wonderful
people. I would like to extend a special thanks to
my best friend. Tammy Grizzle, for the time, love,
and support that she has given me this year.
Without Dr. William Jong-Ebot, I do not know how
the book would have gotten finished. Thanks for all
the time you spent proofreading pages. To Audio
Visuals, the Carolana is indebted.
I would also like to thank my staff. They have
worked hard on this book and have put up with
me through thick and thin. You guys are the best
staff anyone could ever have. Being editor of the
Carolana has been a challenge, one that I am
thankful to have undertaken. This past year has
been the worst and best of my life. I have learned
many valuable lessons from my editorship; it has
been an experience I will never forget.
Sincerely,
Monica Stanley
