Fear not, Gamecock fans, Superman
will be back.
After weeks of speculation as to
whether or not Bj Mckie would forego
his senior year of eligibility to make
himself eligible for the NBA Draft, Mckie
announced Monday his intention to
remain in Columbia for his-final year.
"I have decided to stay at South Carolina
and I look forward to getting my
degree," Mckie said.

its best potential next season."

this past season in leading the Gamecocks
to a 23-8 record and another berth
in the NCAA Tournament.
He was a third-team All-America
selection by Basketball Weekly.
"I respect the decision Bj and the
Mckie family have made," USC coach
Eddie Fogler said
"Bj has played a big part in our success
over the last three years and we
look forward to having him back for his
senior season."
Both Mckie and Fogler declined further
comments.
Mckie, who is fourth on USCs alltime
scoring list with 1,618 points, is
just 354 points shy of Alex English's
record of 1,972 points.
Barring injury, the record should
fall in the latter half of the season as
Mckie has scored at least 478 points in
each of his three seasons, including 588
points last season.
Records and honors are nothing tc
the Irmo native.
He is the Irmo High School all-time
leading scorer and led the Yellow Jackets
to the state AAAA title his senior
year.
He participated in the McDonald's
High School All-Star Game, was a Pa
rade, Nike, National AAU and Street
& Smith All-America.
The 6-foot-2-inch shooting guard is
expected to move to the point guard position
next season in preparation for
the NBA.
Many scouts said Mckie was too
small to play the 2-guard position in
the NBA and recommended he return
for his senior year to work on his point
guard skills.
Leadership
news editor CARA PELLAIT
The 1998 Leadership and Service
Awards were presented to USC students
Tuesday.
"Leadership requires much more
than holding positions in organizations,
it involves commitment, dedication and
lots of hard work," said Carrie England,
a presenter at the ceremony.
"The people we are honoring today
have made the University of South Carolina
a better place through their leadership,"
said England.
Pam Robinson received the Advisor
of the Year award for her work as
the adviser of Women in Law.
"She immediately became a source
of inspiration to her members as she
guided the organization through multiple
large-scale community projects, which
she juggled with her demanding job. Her
devotion, dedication and unstoppable
determination earned her organization

news editor SARA LADENHEIM
The Fall 1998 Master Schedule came
out last week with a few missing pieces.
Several courses were left out of the
schedule, including all of the theater,
speech and dance courses that number
580 and above.
University Registrar Richard
Bayer said this was inadvertently
caused by overlapping pages when the
schedule was sent to the printer.
"When we get the courses downloaded
from the university mainframe,
our editor does a lot of cutting and pasting,"
he said.
"It doesn't appear as though this is
what occurred here, however."
Bayer believes the mishap occurred
because the University 101 courses,
which follow the theater courses in the
Master Schedule, overlapped when the
printer received them.
"What happened was that when [the
Master Schedules] were printed, the
Universitv 101 courses overlaid the
page, and the theater courses were covered.
This is what we believe occurred,"
Bayer said.
The courses may have been left out,
but Bayer said they have always been
available on the web.
While there is no way of reprinting
the entire Master Schedule, the web
page fills in these blanks and keeps
everyone up to date on all the information
as it changes.
"Our web site is comprehensive and
lists all the courses offered, as well as
information on the number of seats
available, instructor, etc.," Bayer said.
Not every course that was left out
of the Master Schedule was on the supplement.
John Jakubs, a geography professor,
said the geography course 310A,
the geography of popular music, was
left out of the Master Schedule, as well
as the supplement.
Jakubs believes this occurred
through "clerical problems stemming
out of the huge bureaucracy."
"Since this is an experimental course
having only been taught for the first
time this year, by it being absent
from the Master Schedule, it requires
[the geography department] to have
fliers made and to buy an advertisement
in The Gamecock in order to publicize
the course," Jakubs said.
This example of a course being absent
is unique and doesn't occur often.
For Jakubs, making the same mistake
twice is frustrating and might have
the repercussion of students missing
out on the class since it is not, as Jakubs
said, "in the printed book that all students
read."
The on-line service should eliminate
these problems and make the problem
of whether classes are full or not when
a student registers disappear, according
to Bayer.
For example, if a course has 38 seats
open and 27 are filled, students will
know this information and be able to
process their registration accordingly.
On-line registration also is extremely
helpful when it comes to those who have
to register on the last days of registration.
