NEWS BRIEFS
NATIONWIDE
WASHINGTON (AP)?Majority Republicans pushed
$17 billion in spending cuts through the House and
$100 billion more through its budget committee
Thursday as furious Democrats accused them of
reneging on a deal and using phony, double-counted
savings.
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

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.

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

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

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.

Despite the restrictions, parking will be more M

parking areas.
Parking will be available at Dreher High
