Elver since Shannon Faulkner
tried to break down the barriers
to The Citadel, there has
been a growing debate over Single
Gender Educational institutions,
and their place in the
IJnit.pH Sfnfoe anrl mnro im.
portantly, in South Carolina.
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;

Attention out-of-state student

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

Carolina; and Robert Schwartz,
professor of Education at USC,
explained their respective opin

? 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

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. "It

In spite of her opinion, Synnott
began speaking about her
"good" experiences at her allwomen
college and graduate
school.
However, she did elaborate that 1

"Private single gender edu- i

Schwartz followed Synnott,
but agreed with Fox-Genovese
to an extent. He didn't seem to
agree to the choice of single gender
institutions, but rather preferred
them. "Who Benefits?
Everyone. Women are seen as
an anomaly."
This supported his conclusion
that "women should be kept
separate".

point, being in favor of single
gender education, both sides
were represented and students
did have an opinion as to what
was the most effective viewpoint.
"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.
The discords of the discussion
were definitely at a minimum,
which seemed to get
across all opinions in-an effective
manner.
