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.
