The seat was vacated when former trustee James L. Moss died Feb. 8. Blatt said it is no secret he is supporting Whitney. "I am sup porting him and am very glad to have the opportunity to support him," Blatt said. "I've worked with him and I think he has great dedication to the University and I think he would represent the young people well on the board," Blatt said. Whitney was a page in the House of Representatives to Speaker Blatt for several years. In an Osceola story this week, it was reported that about 70 legislators support Whitney. Blatt confirmed the support. "More than 70 support him and in fact he is going to be elected." Appointments to the USC Board of Trustees have to be approved by the S.C. General Assembly.

He said the decision to run for the Board of Trustees seat was his own and not suggested by either Long or Blatt. However, Whitney said he had asked them for their support. "A lot of young members of the House support me. It is not true that Sol Blatt has been twisting arms to get support for me," Whitney said. Since deciding to run for a seat on the Board of Trustees, Whitney said he has been lobbying for support at the legislature.
