This past week, unnamed sources were busy publicizing information that President-elect Michael Hogue had been granted 120 of the roughly 200 special invitations. These sources produced a list of the names of invitees, including state legislators, faculty, administrators and personal acquaintances. ^ Hogue said the list included names from every executive-elect in the Student Government. The president and vice president werj given 40 each, and the secretary and treasurer got 30 each, and the remaining ou weni 10 senators, ne said. Included on the list were Gov. Carroll Campbell, Lt. Gov. Nick Theodore, 15 legislators and the 22 members of the USC board of trustees. Various administrators and organization advisers were also included. "It's a very good move on our part, in my opinion, to get them involved with what we're doing," Hogue said.

Hogue said invitations were sent to the newspapers to "build up a media network that we can go to throughout the state." Former SG president Amy Houser said she thought Hogue might have lost sight of the inauguration's purpose. "You're very honored and privileged that you're here to be president, but you're not here so much to be recognized for being nrnci Hont K ap iiica \/a 11 haven't pi voiuviu uvvuuav j vu hut vu i really proven anything yet, and you're here to try to inform them of your plans for the upcoming year," Houser said. Houser said the inauguration speech is a measuring tool to use all year and acts as a starting point on what the president will accomplish. Houser said it takes time and perserverance to gain student respect. She also said students should be the primary audience at the inauguration. "I think it's important to build good rapport with state legislators; I think it's very important. But I think that comes through personal meetings with these people," she said.
