Horry County considers Sunday liquor sales
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) ? Horry County residents
will vote in November on whether restaurants
and bars in unincorporated areas of the county
will be allowed to serve liquor on Sundays.
Supporters of Sunday sales collected the required
2,500 petition signatures needed to get the question
on the ballot, the county office of Registrations said
Tuesday. The petitions had been submitted Monday
for certification.

the county on the same playing field, said Roger
Davisson, general manager of the 2001 nightclub.
"If s upsetting and unfair to restaurants because
when customers come in on Sunday and find they
can't get a cocktail, they go somewhere else and they
can," said Davisson, who heads a group of restaurant
owners backing Sunday sales.
Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach and Atlantic
Beach already have Sunday sales. Restaurants and
nightclubs in unincorporated areas of the county
must stop serving liquor at midnight Saturday.
County voters rejected Sunday sales in 1984 but
this time, Davisson said, "We feel confident that voters
are ready to move Horry County into the 21st
century."
Client beats murder charge after lawyer raps
DETROIT (AP)?A man beat a murder charge after
his lawyer rapped to the beat.
Rondelle Woods was accused of supplying a shotgun
that another man used to shoot 19-year-old Douglas
Melonson last year.
Police said Woods and the other man, Gregory
Wheeler, were kicked out of a birthday party for
Melonson's sister, then returned with the weapon.
Woods' attorney, William Hunter, took a fresh
approach in his closing argument Friday to the
Recorder's Court jury. He rapped.
"Went to a party, sweet 16, decided to stay on
the scene, was not there, looking for troubles, Fm a
married man, working doubles..."
The jury acquitted Woods of first-degree murder.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National W
Science Foundation (NSF) are offering undergraduate sum- h
mer research opportunities and graduate fellowships for minorities
and other students.
DOE offers the Student Research Participation Program recc
(SRP), which allows undergraduate students the opportunity ten|
to spend 10 weeks this summer working with federal scien- '
tists on research and development.
"(We are a) very prestigious program with about 300 ap- ,
plicants every year. Only 50 get picked, so it is very compet- norj
itive," said Pat Pressley, programs specialist for the SRP.
The SRP is for sophomores, juniors, and seniors with ma- r
jors in engineering, physical and life sciences, math, comput- pejj
er sciences and social sciences. norj
SRP participants are offered the chance to get hands-on enc(
experience using modern equipment for work related to their <
academic and career goals and ongoing research conducted by ty a
the facility. The
"(The program) is good because of the hands-on experience, regi
