put them in the mainstream

Charleston President Harry M.
Lightsey Jr. told the Senate Education
Committee. "We would never
attempt to design a computer chip
for IBM."
Winthrop College President Anthony
DiGiorgio agreed.
"Our intention is not to replicate
Clemson, not to replicate (the University
of South) Carolina," he
said Wednesday during a lobbying
effort by college presidents before
the committee.
Instead, they said they want
their colleges categorized as comprehensive
teaching universities.

The turnout in South Carolina's
Republican primary is going to be
i big surprise to the president and
lis administration, presidential
:andidate David Duke said
Thursday, i
"This will be the first state that
I'll be on the ballot in the United
States," said the ex-Grand Wizard
af the Ku Klux Klan. "The first
time to face George Bush."

Thursday when he filed papers in
Columbia and paid a $5,000 fee to
run in the state's primary March 7.
His state campaign chairman,
William Carter of Saluda, said a
success for David Duke in South
Carolina would be 40 percent of
the vote and carrying two, possibly
three, districts with about nine delegates
to the Republican
convention.
Duke made his first stop at the
state GOP headquarters surrounded
by about 40 supporters, some of
them with ties to the KKK and
others wearing Klan tee-shirts or
displaying rebel flags.
"We're tired of affirmative action,
the quota system and reverse
discrimination," said Jeff Weston,
a 32-year-old security officer in
Columbia.
The Klan wants to appeal for
white civil rights, according to
Weston, who said he is not a KKK
member but his great-grandfather
was.
"Our civil rights are being violated.
David Duke is the first candidate
with the guts to say affirmative
action and reverse discrimina
tion is wrong, wesion said.
