Mark Biyan made his way back to familiar
territory Friday night when he returned
to WUSC-FM 90.5 to co-host a show.
Along with John Lyons, Biyan played
two hours of local music and some of his
own favorites. Bryan, a WUSC deejay
when he was a student, was just as excited
to be on the airwaves as on a stage.
It was so much fun because I haven't
done a show in five years," Bryan said.
"I got to play some of the my old tunes
that I used to spin back then."
Biyan said he likes introducing people
to new music.
"You try to turn people on to something
that struck a chord with you," he said.
"You put it out there hoping that someone
else will dig what you're digging. If not,

"It was something I was really into,"

After completing his first radio show
in half a decade, Biyan exuded a euphoric
smile and seemed ready to go another
two hours. He said he was glad to have
the opportunity to get back on the air.
"It's sort of an outlet for me, for all
the new music I was listening to," he said.
"Lately, I've been just listening to it, but
that was a good chance for me to play it
for some people."

Hootie's new label Breaking Records
is in the process of signing local acts and
promoting them outside of South Carolina
Biyan said the record label takes the act
of getting new music out one step further.
"There's a lot of music out there that
we feel is worthy that no one is hearing,"
Bryan said. "If we can take a band and
present them to the outside world, I think
that's a cool thing."
Next up for Bryan and the gang is
the recording of an MTV Unplugged
concert April 19 on the Horseshoe. Biyan
said they wanted to stay close to home
to record the concert.
"We live here, we hate to travel and
I hate New York," Bryan said. "The
Horseshoe is beautiful. There were several
sights that were thrown around, but when
MTV came down and scouted, they picked
the Horseshoe."

STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
WASHINGTON ? Handing the
presidency unprecedented spending
power, President Clinton today signed
the line-item veto bill and said it would
hpln slash "snprial-intprpst hnnnHrxwlps
" f ? DO '
tax loopholes and pure pork."
"It might make the legislative
process work better. It could cut waste
and save money from taxes. It is a tool
for the president to eliminate wastefu]
projects," said John Cavanaugh, an
assistant professor of political science
at USC.
Four pens used to sign the historic
legislation were dispatched to former
Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan and
Bush ? all of whom sought the
authority to cut specific items from
spending bills.
"I thank them and our country
thanks them," Clinton said in an Ova)
Office ceremony. "Their successors will
be able to use this power that they
long sought to eliminate waste from
the federal budget."
The law, which fulfills a GOF
"Contract With America" promise
allows the president to carve out
provisions from spending bills, ever
while signing the legislation.
Until now, Congress had guarded
its power over federal purse strings
turning back more than 200 attempts
since the days of Ulysses S. Grant tc
give the president a line-item veto
It does away with a requirement,
in place since the nation's founding,
that a president must approve or reject
legislation in its entirety.
Opponents characterized it as a
dangerous ceding to the executive
branch of Congress' power to spend
tax money and argued it would take
a constitutional amendment to transfei
such authority from one branch tc
another.
"Detractors are saying (the bill!
may make the president too powerful
and make Congress a bit player,'
Cavanaugh said.

s the law as unconstitutional.
I "It has an unconstitutional

I isn't a question of efficiency or

Cavanaugh believes the bill is
r constitutional and is necessaiy to define
1 what type of veto the president can
[ use. He says Article II of the
n u i i j. j. n
constitution is sparsely written,
i . "The line-item veto is working at
the state level, and they want to try
? it in Washington," he said.
, Seated at his desk, the president

chance to change that," he said.
