plans to move the College of Hospital
ity, Retail and Sport Management to the
new arena, as well. The college is now
housed in the bottom of the Carolina
Coliseum with the College of Journal
ism and Mass Communications.
Moving to the new arena will pro
vide the college with much-needed ex
tra space. Provost Jerry Odom said the
college has 40,000 square feet now but
could easily use 60,000. The new arena
will also allow for classrooms to have
windows, a luxury that none of the
current tenants in the coliseum have.
After the journalism school moves
to Petigru, and the College of Hospi
tality, Retail and Sport Management
moves to the new arena, the Coliseum
might be demolished. Current costs of
maintaining and making repairs to the
building have already been estimated at
$5.4 million. The roof needs repair,
fire alarms need to be replaced, a new
marquee is needed and a host of other
repairs and maintenance is necessary.

both sides, for different reasons, it is a re
minder of principles and histories that
must not be forgotten.”
Controversy over the flag has grown
in the past few months, ever since the
NAACP declared its boycott of the state’s
tourism industry.
Recently, Gov. Jim Hodges tried to
work a compromise and end the boycott
by proposing legislation that would make
Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday an
official slate holiday, but the NAACP
didn’t think the proposal was fair.
USC students were given the day off
for MLK Jr.’s birthday for the first time
last year, even though the day isn’t an of
ficial state holiday.
USC now recognizes his birthday
as a day of service.
On Thursday, Hodges said the Gen
eral Assembly should pick a date for vot
ing on the removal of the flag when
legislators are back in session in January.
Hodges had hoped the NAACP would
end its boycott until the vote took place,
but the NAACP didn’t agree to this pro
posal, either.

their thoughts on the Carolina-Clemson
rivalry.
Irmo resident Tracy Bradley said she
had hope for the future of Gamecock foot
ball.
“[USC] may not have won a game,
but they’re making improvements that
are exciting,” she said.
Hampton resident Geraldine Krapse
said there were reasons for the team’s
lack of success.
“They have a new coach,” she said.
“They’ve got to have time to improve
and play the way he wants them to.”
Betty Leopard, a Fountain Inn resi
dent, said she has faith in the program and
especially in Lou Holtz.
“It wasn’t a good season as far as win
ning, but it was good considering the
situation we had,” she said.
“I feel ljke Lou Holtz is going to tum
this program around.”
Journalism sophomore Ian Meropol
said the Carolina-Clemson rivalry is some
thing special to him.
“Not originally born in South Car
olina, this rivalry is something that I find
unbelievable,” he said
“I’m glad to say I’m now a part of it”
Nursing junior Geri Krapse said the
Carolina-Clemson rivalry is unmatched.
“[Carolina-Clemson] is the best ri
valry,” she said.
“This is the most important to stu
dents and fans. It doesn’t matter if we beat
everyone else, as long as we beat Clem
