Store uncov

Do you have a craving for bell
bottoms and skinny lapel jackets?
Then there is a store for you in
Five Points. OEO opened almost a
year ago with hopes of offering
Columbia an alternative to the
mainstream fashion dictators, coowner
Leslie Minerd said.
The store got its short, quirky
name because Minerd and Harley
wanted to get a neon sign for the
front of the store. Neon is very
expensive, and OEO, which stands
for "old, eclectic and odd," was the
shortest title they could think of,
Minerd and co-owner Tersh Harley
said.
The name also describes the type
of items sold in the store. Minerd
said '70s clothing is really big right
now, so the store is carrying items
such as bell bottoms and men's

One week before Christmas in
1984. Jeanne White was told that her son
Ryan, a hemophiliac, had contracted the
HIV virus from a tainted blood product.
Ryan s battle for a normal life inspired
Jeanne to leach people about the realities
of AIDS.
Come listen to Jeanne on
Monday, March 29 at 8:00pm in the

City honors
St. Patrick
By HOLLY LIBOFF
Staff Writer
Shamrocks and leprechauns are
all images connected with St.
Patrick's Day, bfut this holiday
means more to USC than just
wearing green.
Five Points will get into the
spirit of things with a celebration
March 20. A parade will begin
down Harden Street at 10 a.m.,
followed by an all-day festival
with various activities and bands. ?
There will also be food and
craftsmanship from around the
Southeast. Almost all of the merchants
and restaurants in Five
Points will take part.
Different bars and restaurants
are also planning celebrations during
the actual day of the holiday.
The No-Brainer will sell green
:k beer, and Yesterday's will serve
corned beef and cabbage, traditional
St. Patrick's Day foods.
Caffe Espresso said they plan to
serve Irish Cappuccino and mocha
with green whipped cream, along
with various Irish desserts. Ribby's
Barbecue said they are planning a
big party at 6 p.m. with plenty of
green beer and a band.
Some USC students plan to carry
on the St. Patrick's Day tradition.
Sophomore Kim Truluck said
she intends to party. "I'm planning
to go down to Five Points and do
my best to honor St. Patrick," she
said.
Senior Garfield Barnes and his
friends are also going out to party.
"I'm planning on having a good
time," he said. "Ivisually don't do
anything on St. Patty's Day, but
this year, a friend of mine who is
crazy about it is making me celebrate."
Sophomore September LeFevre
said, "I'm dressing up like a leprechaun
and going to Five Points
,e to have just a sip of green beer." w
* In the Roman calendar, St.
Patrick's Day is a feast day of St.
~~I Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
Many miracles are attributed to St.
Patrick, such as the legendary tale
that he drove out all the snakes in
1! Ireland. The holiday is celebrated
March 17, the anniversary of his
death.
