U.S., Afghan troops could be slowed by harsh weather BY KATHY GANNON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GARDEZ, AFGHANISTAN - U.S. troops scoured caves and cleared ridges of al-Qaida diehards Thursday, but sand-1 storms and high winds ground ed helicopters and threatened to disrupt the U.S.-led air and ground offensive. After some of the heaviest bombing in the six-day offen sive, a number of supply flights were delayed or canceled be cause of the worsening weath er. U.S. officials acknowledged pilots and troops on the ground would have a harder time rout ing the fighters in such bad conditions. Maj. Bryan Hilfery, spokesman for the 10th Mountain Division, said 100 militants were killed Wednesday. Allied attacks also destroyed some of their heavy weaponry — which includes mortars, small cannons, rock et-propelled grenades and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. “We’re continuing to bolster our efforts, and units are con tinuing to maneuver in fire to day, clearing ridgelines, caves and pockets of al-Qaida resis tance,” Hilfery said at Bagram air base, north of the Afghan capital, Kabul. U.S. officials and Afghan commanders said al-Qaida sympathizers — including some from Pakistan — had crossed into the mountains to join the fight. Afghans said en emy forces may now number 1,000. The commanders insisted the routes to the mountain passes had since been sealed — even though Taliban fighters managed to bring some of their slain comrades to the foothills of Surmad for burial Tuesday. Surmad is 18 miles south of Gardez, the capital of Paktia Province. Gardez is about 75 miles south of Kabul. U.S. officials have said hun dreds of fugitive fighters have been killed since Operation Anaconda began and small num bers detained. Eight American and three Afghan troops have died in the offensive. Front-line commander Abdul Matin Hasankhiel said the battle to break al-Qaida was taking longer than expect ed because of the difficult ter rain and harsh conditions. “These are very high moun tains and former mujahedeen bases that the Russians couldn’t defeat — even with their heaviest bombing and best soldiers,” he said, refer ring to the war against the Soviets in the 1980s. Infraction CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 dence halls. According to Patel, the commission acted outside its jurisdiction by enforcing a uni versity policy not in the SG elec tions codes. Patel also said the ac tivity wasn’t technically solicita tion. “I want to make two points here,” Patel wrote in his appeal. “First is that we did not random ly knock on doors. Either the Patel staff or their escort knew the people who lived on the oth er side of the door. Secondly, we did not illegally enter any room or building without proper per mission.” Hunter said, however, that the commission’s decision was with in its hounds. “The Patel campaign admitted that they entered into residence halls. While they state the staff members merely had friends in the dorm, the Elections Commission issued an infraction because they were still in the dorms going door to door,” Hunter wrote. Patel said he disagrees with Hunter’s decision to uphold the so licitation infraction, but said he wouldn’t appeal the decision fur ther. “We’re just going to let it stay at that,” Patel said. “The students have spoken through their student representatives.” Meanwhile, there was no word on when Vice President of Student and Alumni Services Dennis Pruitt would act on Bornemann’s appeal of the Elections Commission’s decision not to overturn the runoff election de spite Patel’s infractions. A repre sentative from Pruitt’s office said on Thursday afternoon that no de cision had been made about that appeal. Hunter turned down a previous appeal from Bornemann on Tuesday.

Sanders offered anecdotes on the South and talked about her experi ences working with a food editor from Boston on her recent release, “Dori Sanders’ Country Cooking: Recipes and Stories from the Family Farm Stand.” “If you think writing a novel is hard, do not get in the cooking busi ness,” Sanders said. Sanders’ two novels, “Clover” and “Her Own Place,” openly deal with racial issues in the South. When asked by a class member if it was her intention to make a statement on racial equality, Sanders said: “I was totally oblivi ous to why Clover was reacted to the way it was. I was really sur prised when a school in Utah asked me to come and speak about cul tural diversity after Clover was re quired reading. I am still in awe.” Class member Pat Lewandowski agrees that Sanders’ novels are good tools for studying cultural diversity. As a mother, she thinks it’s a good idea to have them as required read ing in Columbia high schools. “I think it is a very good idea,” Lewandowski said. “I am from the South and was raised here, and I know about some of the tilings (in volving race) that she was talking about in her books.” r,ewanaowsKi was recommend ed by a friend to take the class and has “enjoyed it” ever since. Hospital said she has plans for next year’s curriculum and has booked some authors in advance. If proper funding is available, some possible authors for next fall are Robert Pinsky, Richard Rhodes, Toi Derricotte and Jill Bialosky. “Caught in the Creative Act” has been funded by the South Carolina Humanities Council for the past two years, but Hospital doesn’t expect these grants to con tinue next year. In conjunction with the College of Liberal Arts, she has created a program to help fund the class called Friends of CICA, where donors can become a part of different “circles” by the amount of their endowments. Director of Development Jane Williams spoke about the Friends of CICA program to the audience before the introduction of the fea tured speaker. “This course has been a tremen dous asset to the college, universi ty and the community, but in or der for it to continue, we need to have private support,” Williams said.
