this class is also a first for any university
in the Southeast.
The class will meet Monday through
Friday from 11 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. in the
Carolina Coliseum.

fears.
While there, he served as sports director
for WSM-TV and held the same
losition for six vears at WLAC radio.
In 1991 Charlie "Mac" moved to
Kentucky, where he was the television
alay-by-play commentator for Wildcat
jasketball and football. While there, he
dso hosted "The NCAA Today" for ESPN.
