Letters to the Editor
Dougherty went too far
I am responding to a letter that appeared
in the March 24 issue of Hie Gamecock. This
letter was penned by Jennifer Dougherty, a
former leader among the hard-working, professionally-minded
people that make up Student
Media. In her letter, she almost goes as
far as to say that WUSC, the campus radio
station, would change in a negative way if a
candidate for station manager, Patrick Biyant,
were to be elected.
Jennifer and I were colleagues once, both
being station managers during 1993.1 worked
with the student television station, WCFG.
We are alike in the sense that we take pride
in what we accomplished during our tenure.
We have very strong feelings of what is best
for our respective organizations, including
what we play or choose to program. And Jennifer
has every right to fight for those beliefs,
even if she is no longer directly involved with
WUSC. There are many people who feel just
as strongly in leaving the music format the
way it is. That's what I feel Jennifer sought
to express in her letter to the editor.
But in that letter, Jennifer Dougherty made
the most unprofessional mistake of them all:
She personally attacked another individual

just because his views are different from her
own. She portrays Patrick Biyant as self-serving
and flashy, an albatross whose only accomplishment
has been a trail of failure. You
can believe me when I and countless other
friends, faculty, administrators and professionals
say that Patrick Bryant is none of these
things.
Or you can trust your gut instinct that says
there's something very wrong when someone
like Jennifer goes to that length to put her beliefs
and achievements on so lofty a pedestal,
and within the same passage drag those of
another through the mud. Indicentally, Jennifer,
if WCFG "was a failure and went bust
under his management" (her words), how can
you explain mine and the terms of other station
managers who followed Patrick and kept
WCFG running to this day?
I know I am a third party to all of this, but
I would like to make two suggestions. The first
is to all those who read The Gamecock: Have
your doubts of those who would take "liberties"
with what they present as the truth.
My second suggestion is to Jennifer: Pick
up your poisoned pen and make a public apology,
not only to Patrick Bryant, but to all students
and alumni who have worked for the
integrity and mutual respect of the business
we are in. Trust me, I think they deserve one.

Vice president defends
early work in office [
to
Upon reading the column about the "Re- E
publican Women's Caucus" in Student Gov- s
ernment, I felt that there were a number of v
issues that needed to be addressed. The first g
of these issues is whether the Republican v
Women's Caucus actually exists. I, myself,
am not affiliated with any particular political c
party and do not feel that party affiliation has ?
bearing upon decisions made in Student Gov- t
ernment. (
As for my performance as vice president j
thus far, much has already been accomplished j
in the short time that I have served in office.
TKo vom first wppk in nfifir.fi. I met individu
ally with each of the 40 senators to discuss
plans for the year. Based on these interviews,
I selected committees and committee chairs.
Hie reason that there is not an African-American
committee chair is due to the fact that ]
the African-American senators are all fresh- i
men and therefore have limited leadership
experience in comparison with some of the returning
upperclassmen.
In looking at the executive aspect of the
position, I have been working on a number of
projects. I am coordinating efforts to get the

WUSC needs changes
As of late, I've read a great deal about the
possible restructuring of WUSC. This, to me,
appears to be a very necessary undertaking.
VVTJSC, while attempting to provide diversified
music for a diversified campus, has excluded
the majority of our campus with their
elitist programming.
The Gamecock reported recently that every
student, in their activity fees, pays $3 per
year for WUSC. I don't believe I've ever garDinner

Maybe it's time to rip down the door of the
station and demand that they play music for
the college students they represent. Maybe
200 loyal listeners will cry, but more importantly,
maybe more than 20,000 students will
realize we have a radio station and listen to
it. I support any group who is willing to make
that change. It's about time.
