Tickets
from page 1
both USC and West Virginia tried
everything they could to fill up the sta
dium.
“In the Carquest, there weren’t any
limits,” Massaro said.
According to Mike Schulze, direc
tor of communications and sponsorship
for the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla., the
bowl contacts the participating schools’
athletics directors and asks them how s
many tickets they think they’ll need.
“We have to provide a certain amount 1
:o schools,” Schulze said. “Once we se- \
lect the teams, we talk to the athletics di- i
rectors and see how many they think
ihey’ll need, and we try to accommodate t
:hat. We’ve had some schools that need- 1
rd 25,000, and we’ve had some schools g
teed 10,000.”
Schulze said officials from the Out- 1
rack Bowl will come to Columbia next e
weekend to watch the Tennessee game, t
\t the Arkansas game, officials from the f
Citrus Bowl were the only bowl repre- f
entatives present.
Assistant Athletics Director Kerry
'harp said Citrus Bowl representatives
/ere pleased with what they saw dur
ig their visit.
“The Citrus Bowl is very much in
vested in South Carolina, as all of the
owls are,” Tharp said. “But what we’ve
ot to do is keep winning football games.”
One factor that could determine how
uge of a student demand there is for tick
ts is the price. Of the seven SEC bowl
e-ins, the Independence Bowl in Shreve
ort, La., has the lowest starting ticket
rices at $30. The Peach, Citrus and Out
back bowls are expected to start at about
$50.
Even if a lottery is put in place, stu
dents shouldn’t give up hope if they don’t
win. For the Clemson game, the athlet
ics department has remaining tickets. It
will allow all who registered for the lot
tery to pick up tickets Monday through
Wednesday if they haven’t already,
whether they won or not. A similar sit
uation could be put in place for a bowl
game.

YWCA

mestic violence shared experiences with
rally attendees. Barton said this part of
the rally was especially important because
it brought “a name and a face to the prob
lem.”
“When you see somebody up there
who is a survivor, and they’re sharing their
story and talking about what it was like
to endure the experience of domestic vi
olence, it makes you see that the people
who are killed every year in domestic as
saults aren’t just numbers. They are real
people,” Barton said. “They’re mothers,
wives, sisters, daughters.”
Along with the Saturday march, oth
er activities included a “Day of Remem
brance” on Sunday for those who have
lost someone to violence. “Protecting Our
Children” and “Making Our Schools Safe”
were on the agenda Monday and Tuesday.
From noon to 2 today, “Confronting Vi
olence Against Women” will take place.
It’s an open house at the YWCA office,
located at 1735 Devonshire Drive.
Holland said this is primarily to allow
Dean
from page 1
Provost Jerry Odom who should get the
job. Odom then will make the final de
cision on who will fill the position.
All the candidates will meet with jour
nalism students in the Coliseum’s CEO
Room.
“This is a chance for both candidate
and college to get to know each other,”
said Associate Dean Kent Sidel.
Greiner said no members of the me
dia would be allowed to speak to any of
the candidates before one is hired.
“The procedures we have established
for the campus visits is that all finalists
for the position of dean are not allowed
to do one-on-one interviews with student
media,” Greiner wrote in a letter to The
Gamecock.

women to pick up information on services
and to make women aware of where the
new YWCA office is located. Food and
door prizes will be awarded.
One of the major facets of this activ
ity is when all the women blow a whistle
for 12 seconds, based on the facts thaj
every 12 seconds a woman is beaten anJ
every six hours a woman is killed.
The week’s other activities include
“facing Violence Among Men” and “Elim
inating Racism and Hate Crime,” with the
week concluding Saturday.
YWCA Executive Director Wendi
Nance said community participation is es
sential for this to be a success.
“We encourage our community to get
involved in the movement to eliminate
violence in our communities by partici
pating in any of these events,” Nance said.
Those in need of assistance related to
domestic violence can reach Sistercare at
765-9428 in Columbia and 1-800-637
7606 outside Columbia. Services include
emergency shelter, group and individual
counseling, and legal advocacy.
The city/state desk can be reached at
gamecockcitydesk@hotma9.com.
According to Greiner, students aren’t
guaranteed the right to ask questions.
“Individual students are certainly wel
come to ask the finalists a question or two
once the finalists finish their remarks, and
if they ask for questions,” Greiner wrote.
Greiner said journalism students should
meet with their student representatives
and discuss with them what they would
want to ask the finalists.
One of those student representatives,
senior Kenley Young, said he wouldn’t
really ask questions when he meets
with the finalist. Rather, he wants to make
suggestions on such things as the cur
rent journalism curriculum.
“I think I’ll probably end up talking
to a lot of seniors and a lot of rising se
niors, to get their ideas, before I meet with
the finalists,” Young said.
