"It is also a protest against the USC foundations' investment in South Africa.

MORNINGS MUIF, CRLL RM 323 RH FOR RPPLICHTION J Student loves work Senior works By NANCY JO THOMASON Staff writer As a second grader, Tim Kelley was already getting involved in politics by fighting on the school bus over the 1972 presidential race. Kelley, a USC senior majoring in history, has always loved political involvement. Although he does not remember it, his mother tells him he used to run around the house when he was three years old, quoting Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. He wrote a letter to Richard Nixon, after the nresirient . started announcing pullouts from Vietnam, congratulating him on his efforts. "He did respond; I got a book written all about him and one all about the White House," Kelley said. "I also wrote to President (Gerald) Ford on the day of his inauguration. I wished him luck because he was taking office during a scandal." As Kelley got older, he didn't just continue to write letters and watch what was happening on the political scene. He got involved, wantingjo improve government. In 1984, Kelley went to a precinct meeting with his mother. The president of the precinct did not show up, so Kelley went to the president's house, picked up the materials, came back to the meeting and took charge. That night he was elected the precinct's president. It was not until Kelley left his hometown of Pendleton to come to USC that he really got involved in a campaign. As a freshman, he started Students for Gary Hart on USC's campus and campaigned for the candidate in his home county. He also retained his position as precinct president. Kelley was pleased when Hart carried his home county of Anderson and two neighboring counties, Oconee and Pickens. In 1986, he did some work for Frank Eppes, a gubernatorial candidate. "I did not get real involved in that campaign," Kelley said. "My political career took off in 1988. Because my first choice, Hart, was out of the running, I started looking at other candidates' position sheets.

Originally, he had a volunteer job organizing campuses around the state, but then a paid position became open. Kelley decided to take a year off from school and work for Gore, becoming the deputy state director for South Carolina. "I mainly dealt with the press during that campaign," he said. "I wrote press releases, set up press events. I helped plan trips for Gore, his wife and father to come to the state." Kelley said it was a valuable experience to work for Gore. i goi 10 meei me democrats in tne state, l really got to know people around the state and know a lot about the state," he said. After working for the Gore campaign, Kelley went back home to run John Tucker's re-election campaign to the S.C. House of Representatives. "I enjoyed being back in Anderson again and living at home and growing closer to the people in my home county," he said. Kelley now works for the research department of the S.C. Senate and takes the classes he needs to graduate in December. He also volunteers for Jim Leventis' congressional campaign. "I don't think I want to be a candidate myself," Kelley said. "I don't want to put myself through the scrutiny of the public eye. It's much more fun to be in the background, helping shape a message and get voters out." Kelley said it is important for everyone to get involved in politics because the people shape the country. "I wish that more people, my own age especially, would get involved, regardless of their political preference," he said. When Nov. 9 arrives, Kelley will finally get a chance to rest. "After three campaigns since January, I am going home to sleep'for a while after the ninth." ity conference il student' talk about con- affairs at the University of Kentucky rities on primari- in Lexington.
