The task force said the program was in I adequate and had been grossly misrepresented to the administration and public. Marcum has defended the drug-testing program and said he will file a lawsuit against USC to collect the balance of his salary.

"I was sick with the flu, and all I wanted to do was to go home (to Charleston) and relax," Sapp said. When Sapp got to the lot, he realized that his recently restored, creme-colored 1967 Ford Mustang was not where he had parked it just two days before. "I couldn't believe it," Sapp said. "I knew it had to have been stolen. Just imagine how I felt, especially since it was the Mustang that I love." jvern- Sapp is not the only student who has faced this )fficer dilemma. Several '60s Mustangs, which are con sidcred classics by car buffs, have been stolen from imilar USC parking ?reas since January 1987. USC Office f Law Enforcement and Safety records show that three Mustangs were reported stolen in 1987 and at least two so far in 1988.

Mike Fair 1 1C/^ uou i/ioicc He said he doesn't know who distributed the documents among trustees, but that it was definitely an attempt to discredit him and former Gamecock Club President Chip Clary. "The only reason I can figure is that they wanted to create an aura of suspicion, or a cloud of suspicion, in regard to the operation of the athletic department," Marcum said in explaining why the documents were distributed. irustccs said no one was out to get Marcum. "There has been long-standing criticism of Marcum for excesses. Not mismanagement, or unethical, or illegal, but for playing the role of big spender," said state Rep. Mike Fair, a Greenville Republican and USC trustee. Complaints have not necessarily come from within the university, Fair said.

The newspaper quoted unidentified athletic department sources as telling a different story. They said the drug-testing issue was an opportunity for Holderman to get rid of Marcum because Marcum was not a team player. The sources said the clash between Holderman and Marcum was over money and that Holderman, who admitted after substantial criticism this past year that he had overspent, was trying to gain greater control of athletic department funds.
