The agency that everyone loves to hate ? the Internal Revenue Service ? is doing what it can to help victims of Hurricane Hugo.

Casualty losses also may be claimed on 1989 returns filed next year. Those outside the disaster counties may file for casualty losses next year but are ineligible to amend their 1988 returns.

Marcum Cot ? the battle between Marcum and the university that began March 1, 1988, when President James Holderman fired the athletic director. Marcum sued the university for breach-of-contract, contending that he would have earned nearly $500,000 if his contract had been honored. He sought unspecified damages from the school. Holderman said he fired Marcum after a task force he appointed determined that the athletic department's drug-testing program for athletes, which was under Marcum's supervision, was a sham. During the trial, university attorneys portrayed Marcum as a liar and a cheat who refused to acknowledge that he knew the drugtesting program was not managed as it should have been. Marcum's attorney said the school destroyed Marcum's life when it fired him and refused to honor oral agreements on a contract extension and severance pay. Marcum testified that Holderman promised him a contract and salary equal to or greater than that of any university coach and pledged he would try to win him a tenured position. But U.S. District Judge Matthew Perry ruled Tuesday that Marcum Green Stre "I think that Green Street could become a very nice area like The Horseshoe is now ? a field of green in a sea of concrete.
