McConnell brings
passion, power
“It didn’t sit well with me that he was trying to talk
about how they were fighting for others, but he didn’t realize their idea of
freedom meant denial of freedom to African-Americans,” said College of
Charleston history chairman Marvin Dulaney, who heard McConnell speak earlier
in the week. He said he loves the scientific side of the Hunley, but can’t sympathize
with its slavery-associated cause.

Southern governors shun Hunley funeral
Bill Moore, a political
scientist at the College of Charleston, said some people will see the funeral
as a historical event while others will see only the political implications.
"Conservative
Republican governors are less likely to face reaction among their constituents
than a Democratic governor where a significant percentage of their base is
African-American," he said.

Colleges
reach out to students abusing alcohol
One way College of
Charleston students are advised to turn down a drink is to say, "If I
drink that, I will throw up on you."
While the college tries
to use frank humor to deter students from abusing alcohol, studies and
statistics show that alcohol abuse remains a problem on campuses.

There's no business like shoe business
Which is why it's also no
coincidence that the company's president, Jay Picolla, was in town last week speaking
to business students at the College of Charleston.
Which is not surprising
considering his son, Zach, is the freshman pitcher who threw a no-hitter for
the Cougar baseball team recently. So guess what kind of shoes the Cougars
wear? That's right. Puma.

Remains from
Civil War sub to be buried
"The
organizers of the Hunley have done a good job at keeping the boat's
resurrection non-ideological," said Scott Poole, author of "Never
Surrender." The book examines the "lost cause" myth by which
some Southerners claimed a moral victory, despite military defeat. The College
of Charleston historian says the Hunley demonstrates the competing versions of
Southern memory that still clash, 139 years after the war ended.
