John Corbin loves to sail in the
early morning hours, and
describes his hobby as "a thinking
sport".
utners must snare me enthusiasm
because the USC Sailing
Club continues to be one of the
largest student organizations on
campus with 200 to 250 members
each semester.
"I'M SURE we had at least 200
members last spring," Stephanie
Oxley, club secretary said. According
to Oxley, the club expects
that many members this fall. "In
the past membership has been
approximately half male and half
female and more than half of them
don't know how to sail to begin
with."
Club President Corbin will have
sailing clinics at 9 a.m. every
Saturday beginning September 17.
He and other instructors will
icacii uuvnillg, l l^glllg, uapSIZe
procedures and sailing for
beginners.
Corbin will also approve
members for access to boat keys
held by campus security. The
boats are kept at the Lake Murray
Sailing Club. "Usually someone
can qualify to take a boat out in one
or two lessons," Corbin said.
Sailing clinics, social events,
traveling expenses and unlimited
access to any of the 16 universityowned
boats are included in the
semester dues of $10 and funds
allotted by the Student Activities
Committee (SAC).
The SAC budget for the sailing
club is $10,398.20, according to
treasurer Glenda Burnett.
"THIS INCLUDES gas to go to
regadas, repairs, equipment, the
new racing boats, advertising.
office supplies, film rentals,
correspondence, dues to the Lake
Murray Sailing Club, dues to the
South Atlantic Intercollegiate
Sailing Association (SAISA),
educational materials, first aid
supplies and $4,000 insurance,"
Burnett said. She added that the
budget was extended this year to
purchase two new 420 sailboats.

Total cost of the racing boats was
$5,800. USC now owns six 420s in
addition to 10 Sunfishes, which
entitles them to have their own
SAISA regatta for the first time
this year.
