Friends and alumni of USC took a major step toward preserving the state’s political history as ground was broken for the South Carolina Political Collections wing of the Thomas Cooper Library.
Former Gov. James B. Edwards and former Sen.
Ernest F. “Fritz” Hollings were the main speakers at the May 10 ceremony.
“This is a culmination of the tireless efforts of many,” Sen. Lindsey Graham said in a letter read during the ceremony.
University officials and architects toured facilities in Kansas, North Carolina and throughout the nation. “We came back impressed
by the fact that we had very extensive holdings,” Willis said.
The facility will house the private documents of over 70 South Carolina political leaders. In addition to Edwards and Hollings, the collection also includes the papers of the Republican and Democratic parties as well as former governors Robert McNair and John
West, the papers of the League of Women Voters of South Carolina and papers from journalists such as biographer Jack Bass and cartoonist Walt Lardner.
“South Carolina has a rich political history fi lled with leaders who have created a legacy not only for our state but for our nation,” President Andrew Sorensen said.
“Having these collections where they not only can be preserved with care but, most important, where they will be easily accessible for students, researchers and the public will deepen our understanding of history, government and politics and offer a dimension often left uncovered in the history

Student enrollment in Maymester courses appears lower in 2006 compared to recent years.
Some classes, such as the department of hotel, restaurant and tourism m a n a g e m e n t ’s c l a s s exploring the cruise ship industry, remain highly popular. However, others were pul led f rom the schedule when enough students didn’t enroll.
T h e d e p a r t m e n t o f institutional planning and assessment has not yet
provided exact numbers, but those may be hard to come by since Maymester enrollment is combined with Summer I.
M a r k To m p k i n s , a political science professor who teaches South Carolina g o v e r n m e n t d u r i n g Maymester, thinks that costs are the main reason to blame. The cost for three credit hours is $1,023 for in-state students and $2,416 for out-of-state students.
“Students aren’t going to pay for something they can get cheaper at Midlands Tech or the College of Charleston,” said Tompkins.
His suspicions led him to check similar classes where he noticed enrollment is also below average. Of the four political science courses offered in Maymester, only
one has 13 or more students enrolled.
William Ballard, a third-year mechanical engineering major, chose to take summer courses at Midlands Tech rather than USC because, “They were a little more within my budget.” Ballard is not alone; many USC students are taking courses off-campus this summer to save money for the fall and spring semesters.
Brice Woodberry, a third-year exercise science major, took one credit hour in Maymester just to keep his scholarship.
“I think people are just burnt out from the spring semester and want to take some time off,” he said. “I just needed a credit so I can keep my scholarship.”

books,” Sorensen said.“I am proud of the
enormous strides that USC has made in amassing such a polit ical collection,” Edwards said.
“Our collections will be a lot more signifi cant in the future,” said Paul Willis, Dean of University Libraries.
T h e c o l l e c t i o n i s recognized by the Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress as a model documentation program, Edwards said.
Willis expressed hopes that the collection would attract many researchers in the future.
The South Carol ina Political Collection was founded in 1991 after Hol l ings se lec ted the university as the home of his personal papers. The collection spans South Carolina political activity since World War II and complements the holdings of the South Caroliniana Library, which date to the colonial era.
The 32,000-square-foot wing costs $8 million. Its three stories will include a reading room, lecture hall, gallery, conference room, mini-theater and a studio where materials can be digitized for Internet access . The wing wil l also be the third “green” building on USC’s campus. The university will seek Silver LEED (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. USC has already earned the distinction once for the West Quad residence hall.
S o r e n s e n s a i d t h a t Hollings personally raised $14 million of the $18 million library expansion project.
As part of the project, the university also has plans to
hold the ground breaking for the complementary wing on the opposing side of the library to hold the university’s rare books and special collections on June 14 at 10 in the morning. Those collections include works by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Joseph Heller.

Woodberry said he thinks other factors, such as limited housing and dining options are also major turn-offs.
Many students ruled out Maymester when they noticed only a handful of classes were offered. Jeremy Law, a third-year elementary education major, stayed in Columbia for the summer to try to knock out some elective credits. Law preferred the first summer
session to May because of the limited courses offered in May.
“I wanted a chance to chill out and take it easy before heading back into the classroom,” Law said.
Tompkins and Law both said the university could do more to advertise classes offered in Maymester by posting printed materials around campus.
Tompkins has taught Maymester courses for several
years and says the one-on-one with guest speakers and interactions with fellow students is unmatched.
“I think students haven’t figured out the kinds of hands-on experience and contacts you can get with smaller classes in Maymester that you can’t get in the spring and fall,” Tompkins said.

IN OUR OPINIONSpend money on more pressing concerns than Hunley museum
The joy of summer seems to lead South Carolina residents to all sorts of crazy heights. “No shirt, no shoes, no service” is a common phrase; “no sense” is one that certain South Carolina politicians want to add to the theme.
Our tax money has been applied to raising the Hunley, a Civil War submarine, a task that needs doing.
I’ve heard “the South shall rise again,” but come on, guys.
The State newspaper originally reported this project would cost the taxpayers $97 mil l ion, but the new official total estimated at only a meager $2 million. Really, why so
little?Not like schools, healthcare or roads need that money
now.South Carolina has a rich heritage and an unrivalled
history, and building a museum for the Hunley is something it should be looking to do. South Carolina, unfortunately, is also one of the poorer states, and has not got the funds to spend luxuriously.
Let us focus fi rst on the now, not the then.
Our tax money has been applied to
raising the Hunley, not healthcare,
schools or roads.
ABOUT Judge a fi ction book by its content not its controversy
Summer. I like to call it the season of less. Classes. Responsibility. Clothing. They’re all still around, just to a much lesser extent. This gives students plenty of time to forget about professors and papers and instead focus on the simple
pleasures of life.
Everyone has a summer a d v e n t u r e . Some people run off to Europe or t h e b e a c h in search of s t o r i e s t o bring home. More boring people such
as myself stay at home and develop perfectly shaped farmer’s tans in the yard and on the golf course. But even though I’m at home, I’ve been exploring something that’s as foreign to me as talent is to Jessica Simpson – I’ve read two – yes, TWO books.
This is a big deal - I’m the kind of person who’s generally afraid of books without pictures. But after hearing so many people fi ght about it on TV for the past month, I finally broke down and read “The Da Vinci Code.”
I f i n d i t e n d l e s s l y entertaining that so many people have gotten into
this much of a fuss over a book that’s clearly sold in the “I-made-all-this-up” (fiction) section of your local Barnes & Noble. I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
I read the whole thing in two sittings. It’s that good. And now that I’ve read it, I’d like to tell everyone who’s offended by the book to calm the frickin’ frick down.
Here’s my take. The same people who swear up and down that Jesus himself was born to a literal virgin are furious that someone would suggest he may have fathered a child himself. I’d like to fi nd a “rational” stick and smack them over the head with it.
Christianity is about faith – and by defi nition, faith means that we can’t prove anything. Maybe Jesus was a short black man with a lazy eye, two left feet, five kids, and he wore Nikes instead of sandals. Either way, it doesn’t change his message or what he stood for.
For the love of everything that is holy, before you cry foul, remember that this is a novel. Not a textbook, journal, master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. A novel. From the fiction section. Enjoy it for what it is, and stop hating it for what it isn’t.

Most students work hard during the school year and earn their summer break. Free time becomes plentiful even for the unfortunate student attending summer school, who is tied down compared to fellow peers. The s tudent s wa i t ing around for their one class every day must remember that activities are still out there.
Instead of sitting inside all day, go outside. Fill up free time by including fun physical activities planned within social functions. D o w n t o w n C o l u m b i a has lots of parks, and the campus has areas for outdoor recreation.
For example, plan a picnic and, instead of sitting and drinking beer, throw a football, or drink beer and throw a football. Here are a few cheap and easy tips and games that help students stay physically active during the week.
The f irst act iv i ty i s walking. Walking can be great exercise depending on the distance. Gas prices are high and the streets are usually busy, so walk to closer destinations like the park.
S e c o n d i s r u n n i n g . Some consider running one of the most boring exercises. However, with today’s technology like MP3 players, the task can be more enjoyable. Also, to make running even more desirable, fi nd a buddy that you can encourage to run or bike alongside you.
Next is swimming. The pool is possibly one of the best places to be during the summer. Most people plan their day around the pool, and fortunately students have pool access. And to make the experience more fun, play a game like “water volleyball” or “shark.”
“Shark” is usually played on the deep end of a pool and is a lot like “tag.” Starting off, one person plays as the shark and attacks the others, which are called minnows. The minnow’s goal is to get to the opposite end of the pool before the shark touches them or the starting wall. Once a minnow is caught they become a shark for the rest of that round. And the first minnow caught becomes the fi rst shark for the next game. “Shark” is a current neighborhood favorite.
The park is a great place to enjoy the summer by having a picnic or walking around. Depending on the amount of people attending the function a great game to play is “Wiffle Ball Homerun Derby.” Since Wiffle balls cannot travel long distances like baseballs, the game requires at least three people: the hitter, pitcher and outfi elder. But remember to be fair by rotating positions after each turn at bat to ensure equal field, pitching and batting time. Players tend to make up their own rules for the game, but usually include the three-strike rule and/or a certain number of hits.
I f basketbal l ’s not a favorite game to play, try a
substitute, a fi ve-letter game called “H-O-R-S-E,” and if the shooting skills are not available, try “P-I-G.” The game requires two or more people, a basketball and a basketball hoop. When the fi rst player makes a shot, the second player has to repeat the shot. When someone misses the repeated shot they get a letter. The fi rst to spell out “horse” loses.
Another game involving a basketball, but not sport-re l a ted , i s somet imes referred to as “Knockout” or “Lightning.” The game’s name is different to most people, but the content is always the same. It requires at least three people, two basketballs and a basketball hoop.
The best way to describe Knockouts’ rules is through an example rather than instructions. The three players stand behind the free-throw line. Player A shoots and misses. Player B shoots while player A is trying to make the shot, but player B makes the shot before player A. Player B “knocks out” player A. Player B runs behind player C to wait for player C to shoot. Player A passes player C the ball, allowing player C to shoot. Repeat. The rotation goes on until only one player remains. The winner then chooses another spot to shoot from and begins a new game.
These are just a few games that were founded on the elementary school grounds. They’re very fun while requiring little involvement and are short.
Of course i f playing a game isn’t interesting, just play catch, whether it’s throwing a baseball, football, Frisbee, et cetera.

Ray Tanner’s baseball squad didn’t fi nish as strong as they had in past seasons. Their quick exit in the SEC Tournament and mere one series win in their last four attempts weren’t exactly what the players, coaches and fans had in mind.
But for a team who has a tradition of being successful in the postseason, Tanner and his club are hoping that their seventh straight appearance in the postseason proves to be a “lucky number seven.”
“We weren’t a great baseball team in the last m o n t h , ” Ta n n e r t o l d Gamecockcentral.com. “We get a chance to turn the page. Hopefully, some good things will happen for us and we can get hot at the right time. Momentum is a key.”
USC (37-22) received the #2 seed in the Charlottesville Regional and will play the #3 seeded Evansville
(40-20), who makes their first appearance in the tournament since 2000.
“Making the NCAA Tournament has been our goal since the first day of practice last fall and to be able to finally reach that goal says a lot about t h e c o m m i t m e n t a n d work ethic of our players and s ta f f , ” Evansv i l l e coach Dave Schrage told Gamecockcentral.com.
The momentum Tanner spoke of is something that worries him coming into a game against a team who has been hot thus far in the postseason.
“This t ime of year, when somebod y w in s a tournament , they’ve got things going on a little bit,” Tanner told Gamecockcen t r a l . com. “You’re either a pretty good team or were a pretty good team to be in the postseason right now.”
The Gamecocks, who started the season at 27-4 and earned a No. 1 ranking, have been on a
10-18 skid during the end of the season. After beating Kentucky 4-2 to open the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama, Carolina fell to Vanderbilt 11-1 and Georgia 16-10 and were eliminated. USC had held a nine run advantage against the Bulldogs before falling.
“We’ve pitched poorly for the last few weeks,” Tanner told Gamecockcentral.com. “That’s been our Achilles heel in the second half of the season. We’ve been a pretty good offensive team. We’ve played pretty solid defense. But our pitching staff has been our downfall. There’s no secret about it. I’m not saying anything except the truth. It hasn’t been good.”
Carolina gets that chance for a turnaround on Friday at 7 p.m. The winner takes on the winner of the Virginia-Lehigh game on Saturday at 6 p.m.
Friday could be the most important day in the history of Carolina b a s e b a l l . F o r g e t t h e t h r e e national title appearances. F o r g e t b e a t i n g C l e m s o n t w i c e i n Omaha facing elimination. Forget all the walk-off homers , game-ending strikeouts, and throws to the plate.
They won’t mean a thing come Friday at 7 p.m.
Cal l i t c l iché , ca l l i t overplayed, cal l i t whatever you want. But when Carolina takes the fi eld against Evansville on Friday it’s the fi rst day of the rest of the season.
If the USC baseball squad that went 27-4 and achieved a No. 1 ranking shows up, it could be a long summer. A summer of watching kids try and grab foul ball, random introduction music, and the beautiful sight of a Gamecock Jesus waving the fl ag. If the Gamecocks can be what they were
at the beginning of the season, there is a chance that fans will be traveling to Omaha once again and the interlocking “SC” will makes its way to the Midwest again.
But, if the Carolina baseball squad that went 10-18 during the tail end of the season shows up, it could be a long summer. A summer of sitting at sports bars in Columbia and watching as Texas, Miami, Florida State, and all the other powerhouses c e l ebra t e the i r runs through the postseason. A summer of wondering what happened to a team with so much potential, who just seemed to fall apart when it mattered the most. And-God forbid-a summer where we might have to endure the sight of Clemson hoisting the championship trophy.
No one said it was going to be easy. A pitching staff who seems to lack that one true ace is going to be tested, as will a lineup of young players who must start to make a name for themselves sooner than later.
So, when the clock strikes 7 p.m. on Friday, get ready for the chance at redemption or another round of disappointment. Only time will tell.
