Myrtle beach ? Some
Horry County and state leaders
are saying racism was the motivation
for an investigation they
claim targeted the black director
of the county's iail.
Slate Human Affairs commissioner
James Clyburn said racial
motives led to Thursday's indictment
of Director of Detention
Ralph Vaught and four other
county employees.
The indictments are based
largely on the findings of a
340-page State Law Enforcement
Division investigative report that
details inmates being beaten by
detention officers, having sex with
detention officers and having access
to alcohol.

An influential state representative and the
chairman of USC's trustees agree that some
highly paid administrative jobs at the
school should be eliminated.
"I think they need to pare down the administration
and get their salaries in line to
where it's not so outlandish," said Rep.
Herb Kirsh, D-York, chairman of the higher
education subcommittee of the House Ways
and Means Committee.

The funding emergencies that have
crippled states across the country have
forced a number of colleges and universi
ties to impose mid-year tuition increases.
Massachusetts students will take the biggest
hit, paying as much as $625 more for
the spring semester at most of the commonwealth's
public campuses. It could have
been worse. Voters defeated a proposal
Nov. 6 that would have rolled back all
taxes and fees to 1988 levels.
In New York, North Carolina, California
and Virginia, students at some campuses
will pay more this spring in the form of
emergency fees, tuition increases or special
user fees for anything from health care to
the right to use the computer labs.
Additionally, students at the University
- of North Dakota, St. Cloud State University
in Minnesota, Loyola University in New
Orleans and the^ University ot uaniorniaDavis
could end up paying more this spring
for various services.

wake of criticism of his spending and administrative
practices. Kirsh wants to cut
many of the top positions Holderman
created.
The chairman of the university's trustees,
Michael Mungo, agreed that some jobs are
unnecessary and could be eliminated.
"I don't know that I would argue with
that," Mungo said. "I want to leave it up to
the (new) permanent president. But there
are jobs that I think need to be done away
with."

American Association of State Colleges
and Universities, a Washington, D.C.-based
group.
Many students, however, resent the increases,
stating they've been unfairly
targeted.
"Every time we pay more, we don't get
anything back," said Massachusetts College
of Arts student Kirsten Friar.
Others claim the colleges and universities
should trim the budget by cutting jobs
of high-paid administrators.
"It's really obvious there is a lot of fat at
the administrative level," said David Topitzer,
a student government member at the
university 01 Massacnusetts-tfoston, wnose
spring tuition bill is up $400 from this fall.
USC Interim President Arthur Smith said
in a Nov. 5 article in The Gamecock that
"there will be no mid-year tuition increase,
and there will be no courses cancelled for
the spring semester."
But because of the crisis in the Persian

Similarly, students at the State University
