Holderman spoke about various issues affecting the university on the news talk show, hosted by WIS news anchor Ed Carter. He was questioned by WIS reporter Sean Callebs, Scott Johnson of The State newspaper, and Tony McVeigh of the South Carolina i Network. Holderman responded about disclosing Jehan Sadat's salary: "If we were to begin to reveal faculty salaries whether they be distinguished visiting lecturers or regular fulltime faculty, we would begin to lose the best ones in rapid succession." He said he wouldn't want to be responsible for those losses, nor was he obligated to take that responsibility under the Freedom of Information Act. "Anything below the department head's salary is protected as privileged information. I don't think you'd find one in 100 members of j me iacuuy ai Carolina or any otner university wants to have their salary bandied about, nor, I does I presume, Mrs. Sadat." recent terrori The g resources cold is a symptom of a virus.

We will not do it, and I do not believe that it would be appropriate for us to go beyond that in this kind of question because there is litigation pending." Carter asked Holderman about the asbestos problem at USC buildings. "We think it's minimal, and we hope it is. We've all got our fingers crossed; nobody really knows what the long-term effect of asbestos is going to be yet," he said. Holderman said the lengthy process of removing asbestos from Columbia Hall will require moving residents elsewhere during the spring semester. "There is now some response on the part of the state that it's one (problem) that we need to solve and solve it directly." Holderman said the National Collegiate Athletic Association has not notified him of launching an investigation into USC's basketball program. He said USC has its own investigation under way, and that they hope to have a report by the end of the month. ??lf 1 -? ii nibic 10 iiiuccu any suosiancc lO me allegations which you have just cited, we will ism in Palestii roups also use a modest amount of foi such as guns, ammunition and homemade bo Virsing said.

I think the university will look very good in handling its own affairs directly and quite quickly," he said. Callebs asked Holderman why USC's educational board does not follow the lead of South Carolina, Columbia, and several major universities by divesting its financial dealings in South Africa. "The university has taken a very strong position, as has all of the foundations associated with us, aRainst apartheid, but the question is, 'Do we pull out economically?'" Holderman said. "Remember, we're talking about companies like DuPont, IBM and the banks, for example. A banker told me the other day, 'If you really divest, you should not put any money in any American bank, because we don't know who it is we're doing business with.' It's an unanswerable question. We think we've taken the right position."

"Terrorism is not going to disappear as long as jse larger issues are not addressed," Rosati said.
