Over the years the land was used for many different purposes. In 1973 the Rembert family realized the provisions of the will had been violated. That year, the family began court proceedings against the city of Columbia. In 1974, after purchasing the Booker T. Washington High School, USC began using "the Pit" for parking. In June of 1979 a judge ruled that the conditions of the will had been violated and returned the land to the Rembert famiiy.

THE UNIVERSITY refused to produce the documents until a court order was issued. On Friday, university legal counsel Paul Ward said he had not seen or heard alx>ut the court order.
