Pretty powerful stuff from columnist

readable writing style, Mr. Kale possesses
an unusual maturity and impressive
understanding of a cruel and relentless

November - Professors and small-time
administrators end their internal
squabbling. Instead of playing "saveyour-own-ass"
politics, both sides decide

to the essence of any university - the
students. And of course, the football team
defeats Clemson, capping an undefeated
season under Lou Holtz.
December - The Gamecocks win their
first ever SEC Championship game and
will play for the national championship.

evaluates USC. They decline to accept
the university, even after awesome strides
in research stating, "Although USC's
research program is excellent, the
university's overzealous support of only
a few schools on campus proves it has
limited vision. AAU prefers well-rounded
institutions." President Palms locks
himself in the President's House, realizing
his mistake of overemphasizing research

Fogler not 'a proven
winner' at Carolina
lb the editor:
On page 6 of your June 23 issue, you
state, quite boldly, that Eddie Fogler is
"a proven winner." You also state that
"Last year's 8-21 record is only Fogler's
second losing record." However, in his
career records, his 1994-95 record was
10-17.

Southern California in what is dubbed
as the "Safe Sex" Sugar Bowl for the
national championship. Norma Palms
takes over the duties of her devastated
husband. In Nancy Reagan style, she
reveals she actually has been running
the university all this time and will set
USC straight for AAU.
February - For the first time in years,
the SG elections go off without a hitch.
In fact, in celebratation of Black History
Month, blacks and whites storm the
Statehouse and remove the Confederate
battle flag, saying. "Ibday, South Carolina
will cease living in the past, and we will
start planning for the future." The flag
never returns to the capitol dome, and
the university gets international attention
for its progressive students.
March - Alter a dismal basketball
season, the team puts together a winning
streak in the SEC tournament, winning
the automatic bid to the NCAA. For the
third time in four years, the men's team
loses in the first round. Like the years
before, excessive partying the night
before the game is blamed for the
lackluster performance

"In his first two years, the Gamecocks
won nine (1993-94) and 10U994-95)
games, but made gradual progress in
each season."
Thus, it appears that the record is
correct as you state in your compilation
of his career achievements. So Eddie
has got himself a total of THREE losing
seasons, all with USC.

- USC graduates some of its best
students in years. The median first year
income of all graduates will be more
than $50,000. The Alumni Association
and the General Fund are licking their
chops for donations. Norma Palms' new
plan for the university, giving fair support
for all schools and departments, has
been a success. The AAU reconsiders
USC and accepts the university. Students,
faculty and staff celebrate the fact that
they will no longer hear speeches about
AAU from either Palms.
June - The state legislature awards
USC for its efforts by increasing state
allocations by more than 25 percent.
trustees award students by decreasing
tuition by 5 percent after years of
increases. USC is ranked by many
magazines as the top institution in the
Southeast and one of the best in the
country.
Wow. What a year. Sorry we missed it.
