Last call to fight
drinking age planned
By Jennifer Steib
The South Carolina Stale Student
Legislature spoke out Tuesday against raising
the South Carolina's drinking age to 21.
Tony Snell, governor of the Stale Student
Legislature, handed out pamphlets which opposed
raising the drinking age to 21. The
pamphlets spoke of feasible alternatives that
would reduce highway fatalities and accidents
related to DUI . These options will
produce results without changing the drinking
age.
One alternative mentioned was providing
additional lunds for the investigation and
prosecution of DUI offenders. Another
possibility would be promoting responsible
itf f it urli?v Iruvrirrl 'imnno ixMino
citi/ens by including alcohol awareness programs
in South Carolina's schools.
JACK HAMILTON, a third year law student
at USC", said, "A steam roller got moving
because nobody noticed. It accelerated
because nobody stopped it. Today, we
(students) stood up and said 'no'. There
weren't enough students here today; we need
their support. I he student legislators are
here to serve the students of IJSC and to
benefit the slate of South Carolina.
[he federal government has said that
unless the states raise the drinking age to 21,
all lederal funding of the highways will be
cut. Kepiescntati\c larvis Klapinan of Lev
ington spoke in favor of the proposal, and
Hart Cox. president of the South C;iioliii:i
Beer Association, said,"We are against carnage
on the highways."
