Girl, 8, suspended
for 'Billv Beer'
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) ?
A woman is fuming because
school officials suspended
her 8-year-old daughter for
three days for bringing an
unopened can of beer to
show-and-tell.
Woodfin's daughter, Haley,
also must undergo
counseling for bringing the
can of Billy Beer to school
last week.
The beer, named for President
Carter's late brother, is
no longer made, and unopened
cans are considered
collector's items.
Councils may ease
racial tensions
BARNWELL (AP) ?
Community relations councils,
once a popuplar method
to bridge racial problems in
South Carolina communities,
are being revitalized following
a recent string of racial
incidents in the state.
The state Human Affairs
Commission is working to
resurrect the councils, which
became popular in the 1970s
and remain active in many
South Carolina communities
such as Greenville County
and in the cities of Columbia,
Charleston and
Spartanburg.
"What we're saying is the
climate seems right to revitalize
the councils," John
Whittleton, the commission's
director of private sector investigations
said. "The recent
racial incidents didn't trigger
the idea, but these incidents
did remind us of the need."
Today, mostly cloudy with
a 30 percent chance of rain
during the morning and
clearing during the afternoon.
Highs will be in the
mid 60s and southwest winds
at 10 mph shifting to the
northwest by afternoon.
Tonight, fair and cool with
lows in the mid 30s.
Thursday, mostly sunny
with highs in the upper 60s.
The article in Monday's
Gamecock should have
stated that the Psychological
Service Center's services are
free to everyone, not just
full-time students. They are
accepting new cases; there is
no waiting list. The Gamecock
regrets the error.
