Fans
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“We felt Mr. McGee was nice
to do that for an incident that we
didn’t think was all that serious
in nature,” Downing said.
This is not the first time this
season that some students took
their chanting too far. During the
Jan. 18 game against Florida,
some students made inappropri
ate comments about the Gators’
Matt Bonner and Matt Walsh.
But Saturday’s actions drew
criticism from regional media. Ken
Burger from the The' Post and
Courier in Charleston and Scott
Michaux at The Augusta Chronicle
both wrote columns disapproving
of the students’ behavior.
USC made no apology to
Florida, though, because “we
weren’t aware of the comments
for that particular game,” Tharp
said. “The situation that hap
pened (Saturday) was written
about in the media,” and that
prompted the statement from the
Gamecocks’ athletics department.
The,men’s basketball team’s
recent play is one reason why
some students might be acting
the way they are.
“The fans are upset about the
team’s performance this season. I
think that they’re taking out some of
their anger toward the other
teams,” said Matthew Thielker, a
second-year business and pre-med
student “It’s unfair, but it happens.”
Some students say they think
USC fans shouldn’t be singled out
for their actions.
“I’m sure we’re not the only
ones who do it,” said Jamie
Cutter, a second-year sports-and
entertainment-management stu
dent.
Others insisted that because
they pay tuition, they are allowed
to do what they want. The stu
dents pay activity fees, so “they
can say whatever they want to
say,” said Jason Neal, a second
year sports-and-entertainment
management student.
Next week, the Gamecocks play
Clemson at home, but Tharp said
there won’t be a problem with un
ruly students, calling Saturday’s
activity an “isolated event.” But
he insisted the Carolina Center
must be a place where everyone
—students and other fans alike—
can feel comfortable.
“Our message to our students
is that we need you and your sup
port. A whole part of the atmo
sphere is active student involve
ment,” Tharp said. “But we also
want the fans to have a good ex
perience.
With the opening of the
Carolina Center in November,
students have been allotted more
seats than they had in the
Carolina Coliseum. However,
Tharp said he doesn’t expect stu
dents to lose their seats because
of their behavior.

Classes
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
College of Science and Mathematics,
made the decision to reschedule in
conjunction with Provost Jerry
Odom and the dean’s office.
“We tried to match one Saturday
with one day of the week,” Knapp
said. “That way, nobody had to go ev
ery single Saturday.”
“We avoided scheduling
Saturday classes the weeks imme
diately before or after spring break,”
Knapp said. “I know some students
will still be upset, but I’d rather not
have all of them mad at me.”
Shiver said that although students
have expressed concerns about the
schedule, they are advised to talk to
their professors because they have
the ability to change the class times.
Knapp said the College of Science
and Mathematics is allowing the in
structors to make up the classes in the
evening, or whenever they choose, as
long as the time is made up.
“It’ll be much harder to make it to
Saturday classes,” said third-year
physics student Nick Dorrell, “but I
see why we need to make them up.”
Attendance concerns did not
play into the decision to hold the
classes on Saturdays, Shiver said.
Sanjib Mishra, a professor in the
College of Science and Mathematics,
said: “The students have missed a
week of classes, and that needs to be
made up. Some students whine a lit
tle bit, but that is only natural. I
think the majority of them appreci
ate the faculty coming in on
Saturday to give a lecture.”
The water damage that closed the
physical science center for a week
made the building completely un
usable, Knapp said, but did not
damage the equipment students
need for learning.
“Actually we missed a lot of dam-1
age,” Knapp said. “The water spread
from the center out, and most of the
labs and equipment were out of the
range of the damage. None of the big
ticket items were damaged.”

Spring Break
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Brandon Bales, USC’s
Alternative Break Corps presi
dent, said that the purpose of the
group is “to provide students an
opportunity to combine service
and vacation in a low-cost envi
ronment without drugs or alco
hol.”
Alternative Break Corps also
works to maintain reasonably
priced trips, normally under $100.
For example, the trip to
Philadelphia was $25, and this
year’s trip to Cumberland Gap,
Tenn. will be $105.
- “We keep the cost low with the
help of student-activity fees (and)
fund raising,” said Bales, a third
year finance student and site lead
er for the Cumberland Gap trip.
“It’s just a great experience,”
said Bobbie Wofford, a third-year
women’s studies student who par
ticipated in Alternative Break
Corps trips during her first two
years of college. Wofford took one
trip to build houses with Habitat
for Humanity in Kentucky and an
other to a Philadelphia recovery
facility for women addicted to
drugs and alcohol.
Wofford said no student should
graduate without trying
Alternative Break Corps.
“There are tons of opportuni
ties to plan their own trip with
their own group of people,” said
Wofford, who was president of the
Alternative Break Corps last year
and helped organize the group’s
trip to Philadelphia. “It’s pretty
inexpensive, and it’s a lifetime ex
perience.”
Bales encourages other stu
dents to join so they can have
more trips. “It’s really hard to
keep a standing group of people
together because they only do
something once or twice a year,”
he said.
Sondra Weiss, coordinator of
community service at USC, said ^
more students would mean more
trips: “We have such a large stu
dent population, I don’t see any
reason why they couldn’t do six
(trips) if they wanted to,” Weiss
said.
“Alternative Break Corps is
just really another way for people
to do service that’s meaningful to
them,” she said.
