Bui he is not to be daunted by the university
bureaucracy. On his own he has instigated a
public fund-raising. In a letter to The
Gamecock Sept. 15 he wrote that he did not
forsee any problems with getting contributions
from business leaders, though he believes "the
project will be more meaningful if Carolina is
the source as well as the recipient" of the
marker. v
Recognizing that USC will most likely not be
the source he has turned to the city of Columbia
which has $2 million set aside for historic and
tourist development.

something to the project, but the university
should bear the responsibility. The university is
in the process of renovating Horseshoe
buildings to conform to their original designs.
The marker would be in keeping with the
historical importance of the Horseshoe. Surely,
compared to the money that has already been
\ spent on the renovations, $2,288 would be
miniscule. v.
