The State Saturday quoted Robert Linlowes, chairman of the Shakespeare Theatre board of trustees, as saying USC has "been very candid, very upfront about their inability to pay." USC agreed to pay the theatre $300,000 this year and $500,000 for each of the next five years from a private anonymous donation designated for that purpose. The money was to go toward operations of the theatre, which came close to closing in 1985 because of financial problems. In return, the Folger agreed to provide apprenticeships and internships for USC students, present one production a year in South Carolina and send its instructors to teach courses at USC.

The poll, surveying 276 randomly selected USC students, shows about 96 percent of the males and 90 percent of the females do not think they have been excluded from classroom activities because of sex biases. About 25 percent of the males think they are sometimes treated differently in class solely because of their gender, compared to 16 percent of the females. While over half of the students polled think being addressed by a professor as honey, "sweetie," or "dear" is sexist, about 70 percent had never been in a class where students were addressed that way. More than two-thirds of both male (68 percent) and female (68 percent) students did not think their major catered to a specific sex. About 79 percent of the males and 70 percent of the females expect their salaries to be equal to members of the opposite sex with the same job position.

Derrick McFarland, a political science senior, said he has seen sexual discrimination in the classroom when a female student received a lower grade. "I think it was because the teacher didn't like girls too much," he said. McFarland said the teacher favored the males in the class and said the reason may be because government is often thought of as male-oriented.
