^ Fired USC Athletic Director Bob Marcum says
IkJ records of his club memberships and travel and
entertainment expenses were distributed among
school trustees in an attempt to discredit him.
om 10 Trustees replied that Marcum's spending had
w is a been a concern for some time, but they repeated
that he was fired because of his handling of the
urum school drug-testing program.
ussell Documents Marcum described as auditor's
worksheets itemized expenses paid with school
athletic funds ? including trips to the World Series
and the Talladega 500; Marcum's memberships in
six exclusive clubs; meals; gifts; and 40 complimenr
f tary season football tickets.
I Marcum was fired by university President James
Holderman on March 1 after a special task force
\ evaluated the athletic department's drug-testing
^ program. 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.
He told The State newspaper on Friday that all
of his expenses were related to his job and the
public relations demands it made on him.

One Friday afternoon in February, USC political

"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.

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. He said some

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.

Marcum; John Moore, associate athletic director

Four trustees said they got the unsigned

the records showed anything out of line.
But Trustee Michael Mungo said such spending
"represents an incredible abuse of office" by
Marcum.
