Prior to the senate meeting, Sansbury said , "The bill had a better chance of acceptance by the administration with the amend ment in my opinion." Sarsbury then added, "I understand the reasons why Rita (McKinney) vetoed the bill, and I will go along with the bill without the amend ment." The presidential vetoes of Rita McKinney were not, however, the only actions that touched off hot debate in one of the longest senate meetings this semester. A bill offered by Sens. John Middleton and Harriett McCombs proposed to commemorate the underpass between the Coliseum and the law center as the "Francis L. Cardoza Memorial Underpass." The bill said Cardoza, a black man, was a "former South Carolina legislator, Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury to the state of South Carolina," during the Recon struction era.

In a long address to the senate, Johnston said she felt qualified to give a lecture in history. Johnston said she was a history major and a member of several historical organizations, including the United Confederate Command. Johnston's remarks to the senate were hotly contested by several senators, but particularly from the black members. One senator produced a copy of the bill that had scribbled on it in handwriting, "Reconstruction era No scalawag, carpetbagger or anyone else sho'uld be given a plaque for their abominable deeds. I will introduce a resolution to give General Gary and the Redshirts a plaque if this is passed." The senator who produced the copy of the bill said she had "found it laying on some Senator's desk." Opposition to Johnston's position was overwhelming, as debate continued to get hotter. Just as order in the senate seemed to be breaking down, forcing Leventis to call several people "out of order," a move to take a vote. on the bill was offered and seconded. The vote was decisive. Over a very limited number of "no's", those in favor carried the bill easily.
