Academics? Aptitude Test. The ACC was later forced to repeal the rule when two Clemson athletes contested the rule in court. "The inflection was that we objected to the rule because we could not live with their standards, which isn't true, then or now. But never-the-less, the inflection still exists," West said. "ANOTHER FACTOR that detracted from USC's reotitatinn is that during the 1950's, Carolina somehow got the reputation of being a party school," West said. A popular misconception is that USC's admission standards are lower than other schools, such as UNC. Some of USC's admission standards are harder, West said. North Carolina requires no minimum SAT score, while USC requires a minimum score of 700. "People look at that 700 and say, AHAH, they take people who only make 700 on their SAT/' said West, "but they don't stop tp think that that is a minimum requirement, meaning that providing they meet all other admission requirements, they can make a 700." r STUDENT PROFILES, or the statistics on an average student at a particular university, are the prominent factor in public opinion, according to West.

USC students have an average SAT score of 895, and 41 percent of original freshman classes will graduate in four years.. No statistics on high school ranking were available. West said the difference is in state size and number of applicants to each school. "You have to remember that North Carolina is almost double the size in population as South Carolina so UNC has twice as many applicants as we do, and can afford to discriminate more than we do to have the same size student body." UNC, in fact, has a slightly smaller student body than USC.

At the outbreak of the Civil War the entire student body (all male), volunteered for service in the confederate armed forces. USC FLOUNDERED and was closed seyeral times during the reconstruction. It was beginning to stabilize and regain some of its former prestige around the turn of the century when another blow was dealt.
