you share all kinds of personal

Fleak had described for his
students his enjoyment of Sunday
church services.
Eventually, Will Troutman, a
student in one of Fleak’s first
Spanish classes, invited the
professor to a performance.
Soon, Fleak was attending every
Sunday. When cast members called
him and asked him-to. be their
faculty advisor, he was touched.
“I felt God speaking to me to
say yes, to advise such a wonderful
group,” Fleak said.
He said the most exciting thing
about SNA was its following.
“They outgrow every venue the)
perform at,” he said. “They have
an ever-growing fan base.”
Wright said Fleak “never evei
misses a show,” and that he treat:
cast members the same way h<
treats his students — he “reall)
cares.” Wright said Fleak gets tc
know cast members personally.
“We’re going to miss him sc
much,” Wright said. “Oh, we’re al
so sad, just because he’s always been
there for us for the past six years.”
Wright said SNA members are
happy for Fleak, although they are
“definitely going to miss him.”
“He’s really a great teacher.
USC’s losing a great professor,”
she said.

about my impressions of the
University of Virginia and its
basketball program, about the
ACC as a league and the landscape
of college basketball nationally.
There was absolutely no discussion
about my potential interest in the
head coaching position at
University of Virginia.”
Odom also said Litdepage had
called him a number of times
during the last few weeks to discuss
the NCAA Tournament selection
process and to evaluate SEC teams.
Pete Gillen resigned as Cavalier
coach March 14 after one NCAA
Tournament appearance in seven
seasons.
The Gamecocks, led by Odom,

victory became the school’s first
postseason championship win
since joining the SEC.
Odom’s team finished with at

because there appeared to be no
permanent damage to the cherry
picker. LaForgia was transported
to detention.
LaForgia said he and his friend,
Krasny, had been drinking, but he
wouldn’t say how much.
He said he and Krasny had
found the caulk on the cherry
picker.
“It was actually set up on top,”
he said. “We had climbed on top
of it.”
LaForgia said he couldn’t recall
why he and Krasny had originally
decided to climb the cherry
picker.
“We were actually on the way
home from watching the national
championship in the Vista,” he
said. Callcott House, at 1718
College St., is between the
Horseshoe and Capstone College.
LaForgia s^id he hadn’t
intended to break the window.
“The putty knife was an
accident,” he said. “Actually, the
putty knife had fallen from the
cherry picker when we were trying
to climb it.”
LaForgia said he had been
trying to “lob it back on there,”

student “apathy” might lead to the
eradication of the seats.
“I don’t think we should take
away their seats, but I think the
students in those schools should be
notified that they can. affect
change,” Holt said.
The appropriation of seats
within the senate is tough to
explain, Holt said, but it operates
on the guiding principle of a
population ratio similar to the U.S.
House of Representatives.
“It works out okay,” Holt said.
“There was a math chairman that
cultivated this formula which we
adopted and bumped up the total
number to 50 members.”
Since its inauguration Mar. 2,
Holt said, the senate has been
making progress, electing a
president pro-tempore and seven
committee chairmen.
It has also authorized a
but that it “bounced off and hit the
window.”
Krasny said he had been
uninvolved with the broken
window.
“I did the caulking,” he said. “I
sprayed the thing with caulking,
and that’s it.”
LaForgia said first that he hadn’t
realized the window hid been
broken, but then he changed his
statement: “I mean, we heard it
break.”
“Immediately after, we had
planned to go to maintenance
services in the morning and let
them know about it,” he said. “It
was an accident, and I plan to let
the judge know that on the trial
date.”
LaForgia was released on a
$1,087.50 personal recognizance
bond later Tuesday. He is
scheduled to appear in Richland
County court at 9:30 a.m., May
17.
The Gamecock editorial board
met Tuesday night to discuss
whether LaForgia should resign as
editor. The board decided only he
could make that decision.
LaForgia has said he does not
intend to resign.

comptroller office under the
leadership of SG Treasurer
Tommy Preston. The office would
have a seven-person staff to help
student organizations manage
finances.
“This is going to be huge for
students,” Preston said. “The
whole purpose of this is to allow
student organizations to make the
wisest decisions with money.”
The office has no members,
Preston said, but he is negotiating
with the Moore School of
Business to offer internship credit
for service with the new office.
He said he is now waiting on a
reply from the school, but he is
optimistic.
“I think this will be something
they support because this will not
only give students a picture of
what it will be like in the real
world,” Preston said. “But will also
benefit students and their
organizations too.”
