SG Holds 'Learn T< BY patty McCarthy Asst. News fdilor Rep. Bill Campbell, D-Richlar.d County, stressed the importance of students being "knowledgeable and optimistic" in their attempts to lobby for more state support of higher education at a "Learn to Lobby" seminar held Saturday in the Russell House. A small group attended the meeting sponsored bv Student Government, including representatives from USC-Lancaster and William Putnam, associate dean of the College of Business Administration. Campbell gave students hints on how to lobby effectively on Lobby Day at the State House on March 3. Student Government is encouraging student participation for Lobby Day. SG senators have prepared a list of hints to help students influence their legislators and representatives. Campbell also urged students to participate because he said he votes ignorantly 70 percent of the time because hedoesnot have input from his constituents. Students should go to a specific individual and let him know students understand both sides of the issue, Campbell said. If a student cannot attend Lobby Day, he said personal letters are also very effective. Campbell said,"Theuniversity is a scapegoat when budgets are argued" and that students should become more involved as lobbyists. He said he doubts the State Budget and Control Board has the ability to set priorities for budget cuts. "If you understand the fiscal mechanism used to fund higher education, you'll be a more effective lobbyist," Altered Photogra "The Photographer's Hand," an exhibit featuring handaltered photographs compiled by the Smithsonian Institution's Traveling Exhibit Service and the International Museum of Photography, will be on display through March 21 at McKissick Museum. The exhibit, is made possible through a first-time grant from the Carolina Eastman Co. This showing of contemporary works features handcolored prints; scratching, drawing and painting on negatives; and recording images and abstract compositions on hand-made negatives. The photographs vary widely in color, scale, technical approach and subject matter. Although the practice of hand altering photographic images is not a recent development, contemporary artists II CAROLINA WOMEN'S I I CLINIC * Pregnane/ Testing !

The fact sheet prepared by Student Government is aimed toward providing that knowledge, according to Ellen Treanor, SG secretary. She said in-state students should seek out their specific legislators and set up appointments with them. She urged out-of-state students to get involved by contacting either Harry Chapman, chairman of the Senate Education Committee or Hep. Eugene Stoddard, D-Laurens County. Putnam said students should be "informed, organized and thoughtful," when approaching their legislators and "be careful in suggesting possible alternative cuts." i ne su tact sneet contains information concerning specific budget cuts to the various colleges that can be used as evidence for students to mention to their legislators. Also, it states USC's financial importance to the state. It reads, "The university brings a total of $415 million in revenue yearly to Richland County alone. By cutting the university, revenues will decrease for Richland County and the state. Cutting funds to higher education cuts the quality of the future leaders of South Carolina." Treanor said there is at least one student signed up to speak with a representative from each district in Columbia Q nH thfJ cf If r? - - ? * ~ 4 ~ ?XX 1 1,1 ^ uaiu mi. oiavt. 11 ci diuucui witms iu auenci i^oDoy uay snd wishes to go with someone else from his district, he should contact someone in the Student Government office in Russell House.
