~ Hootie seemed perfectly comfortable
creturning to USC, even though securiUly
was out in full-force to prevent a stams|pede
of student followers.
JC "It's all in how you react," Felber
"said. "If you don't make a big deal out
?cof it (success), they won't either."
? When asked how he feels about be-ing
the hottest band in America, Rucker
said, "It feels like a lie."
iQ Hootie is preparing to enter Atlantic
i^lecord Studios to record their next alburn,
which is to be released in March.
^The band does not worry about the suc^xss
of the album because they know it
von't be as successful as their debut aljum?
in the eyes of the media, at least.
"We could put out the best album
-ever," Rucker said. "But it won't be as
*ood as 'Cracked Rear View.'"

said they don't like watching the "Hold

delegates at
Associated Press
|BEIJING (AP) ? Never before has a
U.N. document tackled the topic of homosexuality.
Lesbians are now wondering
whether this international women's
meeting will also end with silence on
the subject.
Heading into the final full day of the
Fourth World Conference on Women,
delegates were still divided over the issue
of asking for a ban on discrimination
against lesbians, conference organizers
said Wednesday.
Delegates from 189 countries worked
into the earlv hours Thursday on the
conference platform, a sweeping call to
improve the lives of women worldwide.
The full conference is to vote on the platform
Friday before the meeting ends.
The conference platform is not legally
binding, but is expected to serve as a
guide to governments.
Late Wednesday, negotiators reaffirmed
a woman's right to sexual free
dom. But 23 countries ? all predomi
nantly Muslim or Roman Catholic ?
either said they would lodge objections
or issue statements with their own interpretations.
The provision calls for women to be
able to make sexual choices without "violence,
coercion or discrimination.'' Delegates
say the phrasing is meant to
stretch across a range of cultures and
situations, covering girls subjected to
ritual genital mutilation as well as battered
wives.
Several nations said they might lift their
objections to the wording if a footnote
were added, saying that all issues of reproductive
health must be guided by religious,
cultural and traditional values.
Critics argue that these phrases are often
used to restrict human rights.
During nearly two weeks of talks, participants
say many previously taboo subjects
have come out into the open. One
of them is homosexuality.
But even if delegates are ready to talk
about lesbian rights, they might not be
prepared to act on them yet.
"I wouldn't say (I'm) optimistic," conference
secretary-general Gertrude Mongella
said when asked about prospects

"Without my hat," Rucker said. Tm
not Darius."
After spending the first two weeks
of his freshman year at the Heart of Columbia
motel, Rucker moved into the
fifth floor of Moore Hall, where he met
guitarist Mark Bryan and drummer Jim
Sonefeld. Felber moved down from the
sixth floor his sophomore year.
"We fell into this little niche of people,"
Rucker said. "We were so bad, they
(resident advisers) are still talking about
us 10 years later."
Rucker said the band makes a point
of wearing USC clothing at all their concerts.
"We love the fact we're from South
Carolina. I love representing it (South
Carolina)," Rucker said.
At a concert in Germany of 70,000
fens, Rucker and FelbeBs old roommate
was in the audience.
"Everywhere we go, there's a Game

ility divides
conference
for the provision's approval. She said
she wanted to wait for the outcome of
the talks.
Earlier, conference spokeswoman Therese
Gastaut said the subject was uncharted
territory at such a gathering.
"The difficulty lies in the fact that it's
the first time this is being discussed at
the U.N. level," she told reporters. "All
the implications have to be taken into
account... they're very intricate."
Earlier in the day, negotiators resolved
a dispute over women's inheritance
rights, agreeing that governments should
enforce legislation that guarantees both
sexes "equal rights to succession and
equal rights to inherit."
v Delegates from many African countries
made inheritance rights one of their top
priorities at the conference. In some traditional
societies, women are left with
nothing if their husbands die.
But the issue was sensitive: Muslims
insisted the language be phrased so as
not to violate Islamic law giving men a
greater inheritance share.
On another matter, delegates said
women's unpaid work doesn't get the
credit it deserves. Such labor, especially
in agriculture, is not properly acknowledged
as contributing to development,
they said.
One agreement began unraveling
Wednesday night ? a statement urging
the world to spend more to improve
the lives of women. More than half a
dozen delegations expressed opposition
to it and the dispute was referred to a
small negotiating committee.
Amid all the disputes, Mongella said,
it's important not to forget the women
who were suffering.
Tm sure that as we are speaking here,
there are so many women who've lost
their lives these two weeks because of
so many different reasons, which we are
trying to resolve in this document," she
) said.
"To them it's not the discussions. To
them ifs the health, the water, the food
? whatever language we use, to them
1 that's the bottom line."
