If any place seemed safe in Columbia, Ki
Barber Shop near Assembly and Hampton st
would have been the pick of many USC stuc
who got their hair cut there.
That is, until barber Frank Kelly and a custx
Leon R. Poole, were killed there early Marc
Kelly was 75, and Poole was 73. Another ba
Kendrick Davis, survived the shooting with o
flesh wound to his neck.
According to a March 15 article in The S
Columbia police thought the motive for the sho
was robbery. A suspect has been described, bi
arrests have been made. In a later article, the sla
were linked to the recent murder of a Columbi
driver. During eight days from March 9-16, six p
were killed in Columbia and Richland County

Jones said the timing and topic of Smith's lecture is
, perfect, since Good Friday is only a week away.
j Smith's lectures and the panel discussion are viewed
t by some as promoting ecumenical dialogue and helping
j keep the communication channels open. His visit and
the lectureship series, in general, help promote the ideals

"Under Dr. Palms, the university appreciates values,"
j Jones said. "It's part of the university's job to teach moral
r and ethical values, which construct the basis for life.
)
Palms really is very much into being value-oriented."
The selection of religious speakers for the lectureship

^ year's lecturer, Father Raymond Brown, was mainly
responsible for picking Smith as his successor.
