South isn't a racial region, but a biracial
one.

He told Franklin scheduling a
make-up day for spring 1998 will be diff)
ficult because the academic calendar
has already been set.
The committee brought up the possibility
of Reading Day or a Spring
Break day being canceled.
"Reading Day seems like a viable
option," Franklin said.
Bobby Gist, chairman of the Martin
Luther King Jr. Day Committee,
suggested Franklin meet with Dr. Don
Greiner, associate provost and dean
^ of Undergraduate Affairs, to work out
a time for the class time to be made up.

"We need to look ahead for January
of 1999," Gist said. "Perhaps we can
cancel Reading Day or one of the Spring

Wilson described the 1980s as "ths
new South movement."
"It's now a South like the rest of the
I nation," Wilson said.
After Wilson's lecture, questions
were raised about the future of the Confederate
flag and the issue of the flag on
the S.C. State House.
It was suggested that the solution
to this controversy would be to place a
! similar symbol blacks can embrace along
with the Confederate flag on the State
House.

Shirley Mills, director of Governmental
and Community Relations, said
the group is working with the committee
to create a program to meet their
needs.
"They're going to tailor a program
to meet our needs," Mills said. "It's
going to focus on African-Americans in
South Carolina history."
The committee also discussed
whether or not to charge for the program.
"My concern is that if we have this
tremendous turnout, we will have no
way to seat them," Gist said. "We need
some kind of crowd control. A nominal
fee may serve that purpose."
