will receive $50. Prizes will
also be awarded to the top
male and female finisher
in 15 age groups.
The $100 prize was not
Hauser’s only consideration
when he decided to enter
the race.
“We want to make the
news,” he said. “That’s our
goal.”
For the more
competitive minded, the
event is a Grand Prix
tour event and will be
timed. The official course
certification number can
be found online at the
St. Patrick’s Day on Five
Points’ Web site, www.
stpatsinfivepoints.com.
Race director Jaime
Lomas believes the cash
prizes will draw competitive
runners, continuing the
strong performances from
last year’s race.
“Tlje race will be very
competitive because of
the cash prizes,” Lomas
said. “Last year we had
three runners finish in less
than 16 minutes, and this
year we will probably have
five.”
Lomas said the number of
runners already registered
promises a strong turnout
for the race, and he expects
many college students in
the mix. •
“So far we have over
800 runners, and we are
shooting for the 900 mark,
but we could get 1000,”
Lomas said. “We have had
a strong turnout from the
college including many
first time runners, which is
always good.”
Third-year history
student Will Gillette said
the early start time of the
race deterred him from
entering.
“The time is just too early
for me as far as entering a
competitive race goes. If
it started later in the day,
then maybe, but 8:30 is too
early,” Gillette said.
Food, drinks and first
aid will be available at
the end of the race, and
the awards ceremony will
commence at 9:30 a.m. at
Delaney’s Irish Pub.

failing grade. The higher
grade earned would be
counted towards the
student’s GPA, but the
failing grade would still stay
on the student’s record.
“The motivation here is
not to inflate GPAs in any
way, shape, or form,” Becker
said, but to offer students
a chance to compensate
for “extenuating”
circumstances, such as
deaths in the family or
serious illnesses.
Member Othniel H.
Wienges Jr., a farmer and
1947 USC alum, inquired
if the extra classes would
be funded from the state
lottery. Becker said that
wasn’t the case.
Becker said it was “very
likely” that the Faculty
Senate would choose to
modify the program as
proposed to satisfy their
own intentions for the
program, rather than
approve the program
without any grievances.
Regardless, Preston
and Holt both expressed
happiness that the Board
was receptive.
Preston said this left the
proposal to the Faculty
Senate’s jurisdiction, where
it properly belonged.
Grade forgiveness
programs are in place in
several ACC, Big 10 and
SEC schools, including the
University of California at
Berkeley, the University
of Florida, the University
of North Carolina and
Clemson.
