"The idea is to show the conditions
of blacks in South Africa and to
give information about apartheid,"
said English junior and FSAA president
Katherine Gilbert. "It is also a
protest against the USC foundations'
investment in South Africa.
"We want to show people that we
can go to our nice heated dorm
rooms, but that the poor people living
in shanties in South Africa
can't," studio arts sophomore Kim
Mattison said.
j Donations will be taken by
.. Q members of the organizations at the
w shanty to help pay for the $5-an-hour

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. I liked Albert

Gore, and then a friend of mine asked if I would like to
help with that campaign."
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."
