Operation Rescue* national "Show the Truth" tour will travel tiross 28 states and 33 cities before it ends on Section Day, Nov. 5. The tour began in Las Veg\s on Oct. 13 and will end in San Bernardino, California. Several travellers ride witi the tour, but they rely mostly on local suppor, Columbia's campaign was headed by the iirector of Columbia Sidewalk Counseling, Steve Lefemine. "Our purpose is to show abortionfor what it really is: a murdered baby. We wantto show people what we are choosing," Lefemim said. In the vice presidential debates, Lefemine said Gore stated he supported the right for women to choose, but he did not say what they choose. "At a Sine what our nation's political leaders are hedging and lying about abortion, we will show the truth to the people of America," director of Operation Rescue, California, Jeff White said. Lefemine referred to the results of abortion, which the group's posters depicted. The graphic photographs of mangled dead fetus<w disturbed passers. Operation Rescue received assorted reasons, including hand gestures and signs of support. Police were on the scene as overseers. "We agree that these photos are a horror to look at, but so were the victims of the Holocaust. We must see what we are doing so as a nation we can stop the cruel death imposed on these children by abortion," White said. The pro-choice support was small, only about four people, but got positive feedback from the rush-hour traffic. "It has been amazing the response we have gotten." USC alumnus Tiffaney Wolf said. She said that America is predominantly pro-choice, and that Columbians fed anonymous enough in their car to honk in support. Several pastors of local churches joined in the "Show the Truth" tour. "We want to show people what seems to be hidden," associate pastor of First Presbytirian Church in Columbia John Hopkins said.. "We are here to take a stand for God and the Bible," Columbia resident George Heuer said.

(who are female) seated f Debate over 1 1 tunnel work continues REGINNA GREEN Staff Writer In a remit student senate meeting, senators debated the prospect of using university funds to underwrite a campus beautification project. According to Director of Student Development and SG Adviser Woody Carothers, there is approximately $1,000 to $2,000 currently available to SG. Because several student organizations did not reregister this fall, the funds allocated to them from student activity fees went unclaimed. Some members of student government propose using those remaining funds to pay for beautifying the tunnel connecting the law school and the Coliseum. "I think that it would be a great thing for us to use the money from student activity fees to beautify the tunnel," Carothers said. "If we could get a lot of organizations on campus involved, i tmnx mat wouia be a very good thing." Staunch opposition to accepting SG funds to fund the tunnel project came from Sen. Graham King, who says he does not oppose campus beautification, rather, he opposes senators' process for seeking funding. Tm not opposed to beautifying the campus," Graham said. "What disappoints me is that every time the student government wants to implement a program, or beautify the campus, they go to the administration." King supports seeking outside sources for financing campus projects. He cites the available wealth of the private sector and believes student government should 'seek those available resources instead of going to the administration when funds are needed. "We ignore the enormous wealth that's out there in the public," King said. "We need to tap into that wealth more often instead of running to the administration." King also views seeking funds in the private sector as an opportunity for student government to flex its muscle and perhaps gain more power and respect from the administration. "It's not a bad thing to seek money from outside the campus," King said. "Senators complain about not having enough power, about the administration not taking them seriously enough, but why would anyone take you seriously if you're always begging for money?" Finance committee member Patrick Daly sees the -?-?x* ? f- Jirr x _x?j x xi tt_ siiuauon irom a amereni sianupoini, muugn. ne believes that, since the money is available, it should be used. Tersonally, I think that if we have the money to spend, Fd like to see student organizations beautifying the campus," Daly said. "I don't want to see a Domino's Pizza ad or a ZIP sheet as I'm walking through the tunnel ? I'd rather see the efforts of the students." faces ?B?*^ i|| . ^ ilisw / 1 ^2HK t#w ** .
