Sued from page 1 three months before they were filed, went nowhere. He said the university met with the families Oct. 18. Hart and his clients gave the university 30 days to respond. “They didn’t do anything,” Hart said. The plaintiffs extended the deadline until noon Nov. 20. After the univer sity again failed to respond, Hart filed the suits. The latest issue of the Free Times reported the lawsuits, but said there were only six. Hart said he was unaware as to why the paper reported only six, rather than eight. Bridges, a plaintiff who had three grandparents donate their bodies to the university, discovered the burials while researching her family tree for one of her 9-year-old daughter’s school pro jects, according to the Free Times. Her fourth grandparent, maternal grandmother Nancy Strange, withdrew her donation, along with other mem bers of Bridges’ family, the newspaper reported. The university has 30 days to re spond to the complaints, but Hart said that would likely be extended to 60 days. He said it could be 18 months before the case goes to trial.

Committee extends ‘Search for Six’ vote deadline to Dec. 6 by Amanda Silva The Gamecock The deadline to finish “Search for Six,” an attempt to select six individ uals who best portray the Carolinian Creed, has been extended to Dec. 6. According to Carmela Carr, di rector of the “Search for Six,” the rea son for the extension is based on the desire to increase the number of votes that were received via an online poll. Carr said the low number of votes received might be because of computer problems reported to her by students who were attempting to vote online but were unable to access the server. Carr said USC wanted to increase the number of students to an amount similar to that of students who voted for the student government elections. The process to pick the six candi dates started in October when stu dent and faculty mixed committees were set up to suggest possible candi dates. Those committees picked 10-15 people for each of the six categories. When the search is over, one indi vidual will ultimately be selected from these six categories to speak at USC: alumni, politics, religion, entertain ment, education and business. The six speakers will address USC throughout the bicentennial year. Under the original plan, the six were all going to speak at the kickoff to the bicentennial year, which will be held on Jan. 10. But because of time con straints and the availability of most of the speakers, it was decided to alter the plan. Some of the speakers, Carr said, might be hard to get, including the Dalai Lama, Madeleine Albright, Bill Gates, Carlos Santana, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods and Kofi Annan. But the search committee will try to get every candidate students select in the online voting. “We probably won’t get all six,” Carr said. “But we will try.” Although all six won’t be speaking at the kickoff, Carr urged students to take part in the event. According to Carr, the administration decided to open dorms two days earlier to allow more students to attend the kickoff. “This is a really great opportune, for students and faculty to work to gether for a common purpose,” Carr said. Carr said students may still get involved with the search committees for each category. One of the perks of working on the committees is getting to meet one of the six candidates. To get involved with the search, students may stop by room 218 in the Russell House. Evan Smiley, political science sophomore, said the search was a good idea. “It’s a good gesture by the school to give the students a chance to be mo tivated by people they look up to and respect,” Smiley said. According to Carr, students who wish to vote online must do so by 11:5f ’ p.m. on Dec. 6. Carr is encouraging as many stu dents as possible to vote. “Their vote does count,” she said.
