Spence
His Senate seat
already a hot topic
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
is considering the race.
No Democrats have an
nounced, but Harpootlian said at
least two people have approached
him about running.'“It’s unto
ward to talk about it this quick
ly,” he said.
Democrat Jane Frederick, a
Beaufort architect who ran
against Spence in 1998 and 2000,
said Monday she would not run.
She said she wanted to spend
more time at her architectural
firm and with her two children.
House Majority Leader Rick
Quinn, R-Columbia, is one of sev
eral state lawmakers supporting
Wilson, who Quinn called a nat
ural transition from Spence.
Quinn said he is fond of David
Spence but does not support his
candidacy. “There’s a learning
ground you have to reach in or
der to run for that office.”
David Spence has never held
an elected office.
Committee
Close evaluations
ahead for all USC
programs, colleges
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
The evaluation process is
complicated, according to
Carolyn West, a committee mem
ber and USC’s regional campus
es director.
“A large university cannot be
evaluated in the same way most
businesses can,” West said. “Our
resources can’t go simply to
those programs that bring in the
most money. We have to look at
our long-term goals and overall
strengths.”
West opposes equal-rate cuts.
“If we did that, we would all
lose because everyone would be
mediocre,” she said. “We want
to make our budget work in the
most effective way possible.”
SDIC’s recommendations
could permanently change the
structure of the university, even
if budget cuts are only tempo
rary.
“I’ve never gotten the sense
that we’re trying to fix short
term budget problems,” Cargile
said. “We’re focused on the long
term interests of the university.”
Committee members assure
students that their opinions
about USC’s future will be con
sidered.
“Part of our job is to make
sure that no students lose out in
the process,” Luna said. “We’d
love to see them get as involved
as possible.”
Members urge students to
write the committee about their
concerns.
“We want to know what the
students love about this univer
sity and what changes they
would like to see,” Cargile said.
“They see this school from a dif
ferent perspective than we pos
sibly could, and their input will
be valuable.”
The committee will hold pub
lic forums students may attend
on Sept. 11 (location not yet se
lected), Sept. 18 at Belk
Auditorium and Sept. 25 at the
Law School auditorium. “We
hope students will take the time
to attend the forums,” West said.
