The House voted 227-200 for a GOP plan slicing $17 billion out of already enacted programs, including public housing, summer jobs for youths and aid for the arts and public broadcasting. The cuts were the firot tVia Unnoa Viqo flaara/1 in the Ranilhliran ram. paign to balance the budget. The White House noted the occasion by vowing to veto it. "There is no question that if the bill is in its present form, the president would veto it," said President Clinton's chief of staff, Leon Panetta. Shortly afterward, the GOP muscled a plan through the budget panel that would make another $100 billion in reductions over the next five years to help pay for the Republican tax-cut package. The vote was 24-11, and like the House roll call, it was nearly party-line. The votes were almost drowned out by a raucous, finger-pointing row between the parties over whether Republicans had attracted conservative Democratic support for their spending cuts with a promise they later abandoned.

GABRIEL MADDEN The Gamecock Source: Harper's Index New laws MARTHA HOTOP Staff Writer Five Points will be converted into an all-day street festival Saturday in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. The annual event began about 10 years ago through the efforts of Duncan McRay, owner of Yesterdays Restaurant and Tavern in Five Points. McRay said he and some friends who hadn't gone to Savannah, Ga., were sitting around one St. Patrick's Day. They wondered why Savannah had a right to St. Patrick's Day and Columbia didn't. McRay and friends organized a St. Patrick's Day festival for the following year that featured about 10 bars, but bad weather contributed to a lack of success. However, the festivities expanded to include more than 100,000 people this past year. Most people now consider the Five Points St. Patty's celebration to be the biggest in the state. As a result of the increased support, new laws and guidelines are in effect for this year's celebration. "The changes are a result of the open container law and the community's concerns about the festival," McRay said. The biggest change is the designated drinking area, which is the only place where participants will be allowed to have open alcoholk beverages outdoors. Everyone who attends the festivities will be required to purchase a $3 wristband, which will be color-coded to signify those 21 and older and those under 21. To purchase alcohol oi PP" - L. JMii# is' ^ mmm Panel speal KE1SA MclWAIN Staff Writer The College of Criminal Justice presented a panel discussion on women judges Thursday night at Currell College. "Dr. (Nancy) Wolfe asked me for some aiicrcroatinna end we rame nn with the idea for the panel discussion," said Cheri Chambers, a graduate assistant for Wolfe. "Last year, we did videotapes in the hallways. We wanted to do something to get more students to participate." The panel discussion was in conjunction with Women's History Month. "We came up with Professor (Jane) Aiken and the Honorable Jean Toal first, but luckily, we were able to get Professor (Thomas Cafferty and Assistant Attorney Genera Miller Shealy," Chambers said. "We wantec a balance of opinions." Aiken received her master's from George town University and her juris doctor from change St. F enter a bar, partiers will be required to pur- i chase a wristband. '. "I think the wristbands will be an aggrava- I tion to those who come out," said Andy Benton, fl;:" co-owner of Night Works in Five Points. ||?| McRay said profits from the wristbands will go to a worthwhile cause: Camp Chemo, which is sponsored by the Jaycees. ||||? The use of a designated drinking area will mean that bars can no longer sell beers to fes- WWKW tival goers on the street. Also, only bars located within the drinking area can purchase a permit to sell alcohol. People attending the festivities will no longer be allowed to bring their own beverages. McRay said the restrictions mainly will affect people outside the designated drinking area. He also said there won't be vendors who buy one-day permits to sell alcohol. For bars outside the designated drinking area, the changes may affect their business. Night Works in previous years received a lot of business from people wandering around the festival, Benton said.
