Spence says By Joe Cumbie DesDite recent budcpt ruts *>nd District Congressman Floyd Spence, R-S.C., said plenty of student aid programs are available to USC students. Speaking to USC's College Republicans chapter Wednesday night, Spence urged students to take advantage of the many federal student aid programs available to them. "You would never believe how much federal money is out there for students," Spence said. "The bad thing about it is that a lot of that money goes untouched." Spence said he advocates a strong national defense, even if it means a militarv draft, to deter war "REALISTICALLY speaking, I don't think we'll have a draft. That's not to say that I wouldn't be in favor of one, however. It (the military) does a lot for you; I know it did a lot for me. I think everyone should take a shot at it, and you can get a lot out of it, too," Spence said. The only action the government is taking toward a return to the military draft is registration, Spence said. This action means the government is only taking a head count to see who is capable of military service. Registration will save the United States six days if it ever needs to mobilize for war, Spence said. Noting mixed emotions in the crowd, Spence said he was aware of rREGIST^D HARRIS SPORTS Reg.

Still, he stressed the need for a strong national defense. "I don't know if you've even been out to Fort Jackson to see our allvolunteer army, but I think that if we owe anything at all to society and our country and heritage that's given us all the things we've got, a couple of years isn't too much to sDend takine part in it (military service). "A LOT of other countries, like Singapore, for example, have a draft in peacetime. And in this country, a lot of people before us have done that. It wasn't long ago that people went across that water, in a bit different direction, for you and for me and never came back. To deter war, you have to be so strong that nobody will mess with you." Spence said he favors a bill expected to come before the U.S. House of Representatives this session that would eliminate Barnwell as a federal nuclear waste site. is DUCK HEAD KHAKIS $15.95 Free Monogramming On All v Dress Shirts Mr.Jl Knickei 605 Harden Houn In 5 Points IO-6Mor 254-3934 We honor University Club C ?I' ? lllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHII IIIIIW LLOWEEN HALLOWEEr IEH=Hg?Bwa Masks POjL Make-up C Wigs \ Beards Mustaches Assorted Hats Accessories Capes Decorations Tableware Novelties Candy reet & Dutch Square Mall lEBBEaSEUDBUKlEmil ? ? 44* * r 4 . available "It is my understanding that the Broyhill bill would eliminate Bamwell as a Department of Energy site, leaving only the Savannah River Plant (as a federal nuclear waste site) in this state," Spence said. Spence said he favors Reagan's budget cuts, saying that what the administration is trying to do is good, but will take some time to correct. "PROBLEMS WITH our economy didn't happen overnight. It took a while to get into this mess, and it will take a while to get us out," Spence said. The primary problem with the budget, Spence said, is that the spending deficit is costing everyone, because the government must borrow money to help pay for its bills. More than half of all mnnpu Knrrmiia^ in Jho ? M.. ...waavj ivva ? VW VU AAA MAt United States is borrowed by the federal government, Spence said. "That's one reason that I voted for the balanced budget amendment," he said. "Government has got to stop spending more than it takes in." Although he said he could not support a measure outlawing all abortions, Spence said he favors abolition of federal funds for abortion. "I basically come down on the side that no onp hac ricrM tn ??
