Some of the people attending
the Student Government in^
auguration ceremony Tuesday
got special invitations, although
the ceremony was open to
everyone.
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.
The list also included invitaUSC

tions to four newspapers, including
The Charlotte Observer
and The York Observer of Rock
Hill. 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

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.
