Among the many changes in USC Campus Dining this school year, students are upset that if they get a to-go lid and container for food, they are charged an extra 60 cents on top of the price of the meal. Campus Dining officials, however, say the charge is part of the University’s larger eco-friendly initiative and the large majority of students are not being forced to pay the Men’s golf tees off fee. Carolyn Rumsey / THE DAILY GAMECOCK Michael Scheffres, regional A USC nursing student takes the heart rate of a lifelike dummy. Students use the dummies to mimic realistic hospital conditions.
