Shannon Townes THE DAILY GAMECOCK

The Out Of State Student Mentors program sponsored a shopping trip to the South Park Mall in Charlotte on Saturday. Students boarded a charter bus in front of the Russell House at 9:30 a.m. to travel to North Carolina for the all-day event. The trip was offered to students attending USC from out of state to do some shopping before the spring break holiday. Angela Street, coordinator of Initiatives for Special Student Populations in the Student Success Center, said the trip was designed to give students a chance to get out of Columbia for a day. “A lot of out-of-state Kelly Bobrow / THE DAILY GAMECOCK students don’t have cars on The Five Points fountain was dyed green Friday to prepare to commemorate the city’s 25th annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration. campus.

He commended South Carolina for insisting on high standards in math and science. While other states rework standardized tests to make it easier to pass the math and science portions, Dodd said South Carolina refuses to budge. A bill is making its way through the State House that would actually increase the amount of scholarship money available to those students who want to major in a math- or science-related fi eld. Dodd blamed the failure of any major changes to the federal education budget a result of partisan bickering, something he has tried to avoid during his tenure in the Senate.
