The South Carolina Honors College
once again is the subject of
' praise.
The honors college was listed in
Martin Nemko's new book, How to
v Get an Ivv Leaeue Education at a
State University. The honors college
provides an Ivy League education at
affordable prices, the book said.
The SCC, along with three other
South Carolina colleges and universities,
was praised as being among the
leading public institutions in the
United States.
Honors students are not only provided
with "a dynamic educational
experience but are offered a breadth
of other opportunities" afforded to
them by the larger university community,
said William Mould, SCC
master.
Mould said being an Ivy League
look-alike was never a goal of the
honors program. "However, if Ivy
League means having a good, strong
educational structure, that has been
our goal. That is what we have."
The honors college may even have
some advantages over the real Ivy
League institutions, Mould said.
Students receive more individual attention,
this made possible by the
comparatively smaller size of the college
to its private counterparts.
University Provost Arthur Smith
said he "certainly" agrees the education
at the South Carolina College is
comparable to Ivy League
institutions."
"I am glad to see that a high quality
education is not limited to eight or
nine institutions in the United
States," Smith said.
SCC students themselves seemed
to be impressed with the college.
"I feel it's equivalent to an Ivy
League education," said Donna
Yates, a SCC math education senior.

maintenance," he said. "Money for,
It putting in electric doors or redoing
restrooms has to be squeezed out of
the budget, or additional funding
might have to be requested. The
president's office has been very
cooperative in this respect."
jt
The driving force behind all the
changes is the committee, which consists
of about 10 to 12 people who are
appointed through the president's office
based on previous service and
recommendations, he said.

sonal interaction in the honors
courses, Yates said.
In 1987-88, honors students had an
average SAT score of 1264, higher
than that of both Brown and Cornell
universities. The typical honors student
ranked in the top 2.5 percent of
his graduating class, placing SCC
among the nation's top one percent.
Honor students are involved in the
mainstream of university activity,
taking 50 to 70 Dercent of their
course work within the program of
general studies, Mould said. The
students are encouraged to utilize all
the facilities which the university has
to offer.
For the most part, students do feel
as if they are a part of USC. "You
can get involved in whatever you
want to," Yates said.
"Sometimes you really have to
make an effort to become involved,"
said Maria Schultz, a SCC government
and international studies
senior.
Not only do the students involve
themselves in mainstream USC, so
do their teachers. In fact, those professors
who teach honor classes, in
all likelihood, teach a greater number
of general courses within USC; thus,
all of USC benefits from the presence
of the honors program, Mould said.
Unlike many students who are lost
in "plantation-sized lecture halls,"
SCC students sit in classes that
average only 15 to 20 people, Nemko
said.
The students are also allowed a
greater amount of academic freedom
when designing their program of
studies and may even "forgo a major,
in exchange for becoming wellrounded."
"One of the main reasons I chose
USC is the honors college," Schultz
said.
"The main goal of the South
Carolina College is to provide instate
students with the finest education
possible," Mould said.

"We still have a long way to go,
but 1 can see that awareness is increasing,"
Baker said.

Student Government President James Franklin
represented the opinions of South Carolina
students before the assembly of the state's Commission
for the Future at Hilton Head earlier this
month
Peter O'Boyle, press secretary for Lt. Gov. Nick
Theodore, said the Commission for the Future's
assembly is a group of 100 prominent South
Carolinians who meet to discuss problems concerning
the economic, governmental and educational
growth of the state.
The assembly will submit its findings to the
Commission for the Future, which is comprised of

Theodore selected Franklin out of 600 applicants
to serve on the assembly.
"The people that were there were diverse individuals,"
he said. "There were democrats and
republicans, men and women, people of different
ethnic and racial backgrounds.
"It was a mixture, a melting pot of leaders in the
state of South Carolina, and those people that were
there were progressive-minded people. And if that
is any indication of our future, we have a very
bright future, indeed."
Franklin said his perspective as a student and as
student government president at USC ? South
Carolina's largest university ? was important so
the concerns of students could be represented at the
assembly.
He was the only student body president and
undergraduate student to be selected to serve on
the assembly.

held Oct. 6 through Oct. 9.
Education and drugs emerged as the most important
issues at the assembly meeting, he said.
"Out of the assembly, we showed the need for
South Carolina to be tough on drugs so drug traffickers
won't come out and feel they have a free,
open market here. They don't need to feel it's open
season in South Carolina.
"Secondly, 1 was concerned about higher education.
1 pushed for and proposed that high institutions
of learning be fully funded through the full
formula," he said.
The formula is used by the state to determine the
minimum amount of funds needed by colleges and
universities to operate. Last year. Franklin said,
USC did not receive full funding.
USC and other state colleges only received 93
percent of full-formula funding from the Commission
on Higher Education, he said.
