Members of the English and creative
writing departments face a daunting

They have begun the first stages of

"Dickey is irreplaceable,'' said Robert
Newman, chairman of the English

the search is in it's "preliminary stages

Newman said, "I can't really say who

possibilities, but we haven't settled on
someone in particular."

other campus groups to invite law
students, faculty and alumni to celebrate
Law Week through Friday.
The annual event recognizes law
students and honors students for
outstanding achievement. It also is a
time to wish graduating students luck
for future endeavors.
"It is a time we look forward to each
year," chairwoman Allison Aiken said.
"Law Week gives students a chance to
relax and spend time socializing with
classmates, alumni and members of the
legal profession."
The event began Tuesday evening
with a Trivia Bowl in which teams of
three competed for a cash prize.
Events continue Wednesday afternoon
with an awards luncheon in front of the
Law School. Justice Jean Toal of the
South Carolina Supreme Court and David
Strantan from WIS-TV will be presenting
the awards. At 6:30 p.m., students will
be able to relax and participate in a wineand
scotch-tasting festival at the Sterling
Garden Center.
Thursday afternoon, students are
invited to attend a public auction at noon
in the Law School lobby. The auction

leave the particular genre open and just
go for the best possible person we can
get to fill the position."
Newman said the university will hire
someone who has a strong national
reputation, who will bring "acclaim and
recognition to the university" and who
will help bolster the creative writing
program by working with students.
Robert Amdt, a student in the creative
writing graduate program, said he was
attracted to USC's program because he
could write both poetry and fiction.

Amdt said having well-known authors
as part of a creative writing program is
important for a variety of reasons.
"It gives students contacts both to
people who have had stuff published,
who know the ins and outs of the
publishing business," Amdt said. It also
could attract mare famous people to come
here to read."
MacNicholas said the search should
take about a year.
"Within a year we should have a
