Last night, The Federalist Society of South Carolina sponsored a panel discussion on the topic of Single Gender Education and its benefits and worthiness. Almost 100 USC affiliates, including alumni and community members, paid close attention while panelists Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, professor of History at Emory University; Marcia Synnott, professor Students cha ROB GIOIELLi Staff Writer Attention out-of-state student you may want check the license pi; on your car. Two USC students, who police were taking out-of-state license pi; from cars in the Bates House part lot at about 4 a.m. Thursday, were rested. The students, freshmen Elizat Shepherd from Columbia and CI Polony from Florence, were each chai ts, facul of History at University of South Carolina; and Robert Schwartz, professor of Education at USC, explained their respective opin /? _ i i i . . ions 01 single gender education ? and its effects. The evening began as members of the Federalist Society welcomed all participants and moderator, James Flannagan, of the USC School of Law. Immediately thereafter, each panelist was allowed 15 minutes to present their views with supporting evidence. After each of the speakers has described their opinions, the discussion turned into a question-and-answer session. Fax-Genovese began by clearly outlining her conclusion. "My position is that we should pre EBB ' nH M Pllllll' hypnc peopl how t rged with ste with one count of auto tamj s one count of larceny.

It is a co-educational world." Initially, she even addressed trie imminent opposing argument, race versus sex. "Race and sex are not the same thing," she said. "There is no biological foundation for racial distinction, but there is for women and men." She claimed that The Citadel would change, and what essentially attracts people to the school would be lost if women were admitted. "I believe in preserving single sex education as one option among many," she said. The second speaker, Synnott, didn't immediately announce her standpoint, as not favoring single sex colleges.

"Ms. Fox-Genovese was seriously digressive and did not answer the question" said Matt Katz, a senior at Dreher High School who asked if women interacted with other women the same way they do men. "I agreed with Ms. Fox's position. I found that she was much more well spoken than the other two," said Welch.
