In a letter dated June 27, 1983, USC President James Holderman told Howard Boozer, CHE executive director, that USC expects freshman applicants to have completed the high school curriculum recommended by the commission.

THERE COULD be a problem if USC did not adopt the requirements, Sheheen said. Some other state institu tions approved the requirements on the condition that USC approve them, he explained. He said brochures including the planned requirements, to be implemented in 1988, will be printed shortly and distributed to high school students. If USC did not approve the requirements, the brochure should not be printed, he said. "It seems to me we're going to have runoff prol early returns. "Obviously I'm real pleased. All that f really wanted out of today was to get in a runoff," he said, adding he was certain a runoff would be necessary because of the large number of candidates. . In the vice presidential race.
