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.
