Job descriptions available at www.dailygamecock.com Possible Senate Run University distributes Palms’ memo to faculty by Brandon Larrabee The Gamecock The university on Monday released a memo President John Palms wrote to USC faculty and staff about what could be his first bid for elective office. The March 28 memo, sent the same day Palms faxed a letter to the board of trustees about his possible political ambitions, gives few new insights into whether Palms will ultimately decide to run for U.S. Senate. Though Palms has said he would make a decision by May 1 and later told faculty senate he might need more time, many trustees have pressured him to decide by their meeting Thursday. The meeting, originally called to discuss increasing freshman enrollment, will likely be dominated by talk of whether Palms will run for the Democratic nomination to succeed 98-year old Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., who has said he will step down when his term expires in 2003. Palms’ second letter focuses more on why Palms believes he should run for Senate and gives less attention to Palms' experience in academia. In the four-paragraph memo. Palms wrote that friends led him to consider running. ilTlinlr r«npA«ir oa/J AAmmniitc Iviirn Iviaa tliAiurKt nrnirAL'inrr ultimately leading me to give the matter considerable thought,” Palms wrote. Palms cited a variety of reasons for considering the Senate bid. “My considering this responsibility stems from a variety of sources: a concent that this seat is crucial to our future as South Carolinians; a belief in the need to educate the public and Congress about the direct, tangible relation between education and the economic vitality of our state and nation, and, in many ways, my work with all of you during the ten years I have been president of this great university,” Palms wrote. Palms also wrote that the seat is important to the state's future. “I believe this seat promises to be more important than ever before to the educational and economic future of South Carolina; therefore, a United States senator with hands-on experience improving the quality of public education could make a tremendous, positive difference,” the memo says. However, Palms wrote, his focus remains on USC. “The faculty and staff have accomplished much together for USC; we have built a great momentum, and we have many tasks to accomplish this year and in the future,” Palms wrote. “My priorities remain continuing to seek restoration of our funding from the state so we can continue to progress toward our goals and leading the University through the conclusion of its liistoric bicentennial celebration." Palms asked the faculty for time to make the decision. “As soon ;is I have decided about running for the Senate seat, I will let you know,” he wrote, “hi the meantime, I ask ™ for your patience and your continued service to the University of South Carolina.” There are several other prominent state Democrats who have been mentioned as possible candidates, including former U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain Phil Lader, state Sen. Tom Moore of Aiken mid Greenville businessman Hayne Hipp. Businesswoman and USC trustee Darla Moore, state Superintendent of Education Inez Tenenbaum mid Public Safety Department Director Boykin Rose have all said they won't seek the Democratic nomination. The only candidate to announce he would ran for the GOP nomination is Lindsey Graliam, who is ninning with the blessings of his party’s leaders mid is unlikely to be challenged.
