Of The Gamecock staff
A report including proposals to
improve USC's track facilities and
make them more accessible to the
community was presented by the
Student Government Association
(SGA) at the Board of Trustees
meeting May 28.
SGA President Steve Hill said
the proposal was referred to the
Athletic Advisory Committee but it
probably will not be considered
until the end of summer. "We've
sent copies to all the trustees," Hill
said. "Now we're just waiting to
see what happens."
Hill said he became aware of the
problems at the track field
because he is a runner and has

housing for the students and their
families. Four of the students'
families .have rejoined themi and
two more families are on the way,
according to Rosalee Berg, host
family chairman of the council.
The families are staying in the
University International House.
They must be out in time for the
building to be repaired and readied
for the fall semester, Berg said.
"I've never seen any group of
people become more concerned
than these people in Columbia,"
Mann said. "Every sponsor has
worked hard and diligently for
these students and their families. I
think we can solve this problem in
our state."

attended track meets there. He
talked to Bill McClure, USC track
coach, while preparing the SGA
proposal.
The surface of the track is the
immediate concern of the SGA
report. The rubberized asphalt
surface now in use is six years old
and rapidly deteriorating. Unless
the track is resurfaced soon, the
base of the track will be damaged
and a complete rebuilding will be
necessa-y at much greater ex
pense the report said.
The hard surface now in use has
caused numerous leg injuries to
athletes and has also hampered
recruiting efforts, according to the
report. An example is'given of a
nationally ranked half-miler
runner who would not attend USC
this year because of track con
ditions.
The report proposes that a soft
surface track be installed before
the present base is lost. The
estimated cost of the new surface
is $100,000.
In addition to the track surface,
the report cites the pole vault and
high jump pits as being "in dire
need of repair or replacement."
A*thletes have suffered injuries
in these areas because of their
poor condition.
Scheduling track meets is
becoming a problem because of
the condition of the facilities.

According to the proposal, track
teams "are honoring their con
tracts but are hesitant to make
further commitments. No one
wants to run at a school where
there are facilities which are
substandard."
Also mentioned is the need for
trees or hedges to be planted along
the track curve nearest the
baseball field to serve as a wind
break.
The report is also concerned
with the restroom facilities
available for spectators at track
meets. It states that the portable
toilets which are provided have
been known to prevent people from
attending track meets.
It is pointed out that community
groups, joggers, area high school
and USC students, faculty and
staff may use the track. The
report proposes that lights be left
on every night until 10 or 11 so that
interested persons may use the
track.
Hill said Athletic Director Bo
Hagen's reaction to the im
provements called for in the
proposal has been negative
because of the expense involved.
Hill's reply to Hagen's reaction
was that the Athletic Department
was able to spend more than twice
the amount needed for the track
field rennovations on new football
scoreboards last fall.

Carlen Signs
27 Recruits
For '75 Team
BY BILLY BAKER
Sports Editor
Searching for the answer to
USC's football misfortunes is not
easy but head coach Jim Carlen
has to date signed 27 athletes he
hopes will bring success to USC.
Twenty-four of the twenty-seven
signees are defensive personnel.
The Gamecocks were weak on
defense in 1974 when they suffered
through a disappointing 4-7 year.
Carlen is not a part of the past at
USC. He feels that under the
circumstances he managed a fine
year in recruiting circles. His
coaching staff visited 12 states to
land some of the best linemen in
the country.
