vice president and provost, has been named president of

Jean spent time with Horkowski Thursday, as he held
final meetings and prepared to move.
Special to The Gamecock

memorabilia-laden walls. Some items will be thrown out
The rest will be packed into boxes for the big move to

l or Borkowski, the LSI presidencv represents the opportunity
of a lifetime ? one he calls "exhilarating and
frightening."
The provost said he didn'i feel like a leading candidate
for the job until mid-November, when I'SI* support and
Tampa-area media reports began to weigh in his fasoi.
I hat's when he decided to take his wife. ka\, and their
three adult children to Mvrtle Beach to think, talk and
decide: whether to take, if offered, the reins 01 Florida's
second-largest university or to stay at the place the West
Virginia native now calls "home."
"I went through a wrenching lew weeks over the
Thanksgiving holiday," he said. "It was wrenching
because we, my wife and I, have deep roots here in
Columbia."
What finally swayed Borkowski was that L SI met the
criteria he had set for himself to become president of a
university: it had to be located in a metropolitan area of
cultural and economic prosperity, and it had 10 need major
developing.

;eet emotion that I leave . .
West Virginia Univcrsiiy, from which Borkowski
received a doctorate in music, did not meet that criteria
when it offered its presidency in 1981, he said.
1 le saui that with many wot king years ahead of him, he
did not want to spend the rest ol them as USC's provost.
"When I look at being provost, if I were to complete
my career .is heing a ptovost ? another !4 years ot being
piovost, I frankly become disquieted ... I could not see
mysell doing this lor another 14 years at the same level,"
he said.
Hut the piovost said he will deeply miss the school he
lias served lot the past 10 years. "I am deeply saddened
by the prospect ol leaving the emironinent I really love.
The Horseshoe is seductive; it envelops you with its tradition
and it - history.
"I frankly love the university, audit has been a tremen.I/mi.

said.
Horkowski is not ruling out a return to USC by the turn
ol the centurv. He plans to retain his home in Columbia,
and lie hopes to return heic to teach
"I am going to try my best to be successful at USI;," he
said "Hut 1 think my preference afterward would be to
return to the classroom. And I really feel that this is
home."
I lie icv storm continued outside as Horkowski finished
his pipe and took a long look out the window. T he items
and memories will soon be boxed for the long drive to

"I'm .doing to miss this place."

That single statement summarizes the
philosophy that Stone is criticizing. Unfortunately,
Douglas is so convincing that his ramblings sound
like the truth, making the message of Wall Street
backfire.
Stone also miscalculates by making the bland
l ox the main character of the film, rather than the
diabolical Gckko. livil is almost always more
fascinating than good; for example, Darth Vader is
far more intriguing in the Star Wars trilogy than
I uke Skywalker. A film focusing on Gekko would
have been far more interesting than what Stone
presents.
Other problems include the brief appearance of
Daryl Hannah ? which seems to be more of an attempt
to slip a woman into the film rather than
propel the storyline ? and the preachy ending, _ *
which is all too predictable. ) I
