Abortion p
ADAM SNY)ER News Editor
Pro-life sipporters, equipped with six foot
anti-abortioh pacards, flooded Assembly Street
at the South CaxJ&na Capitol Tuesday afternoon
between 4 and 6p.m.
They were mevby four USC students and
alumni pro-choice supporters who positioned
themselves on the ?orner of Assembly and
Gervais Streets.
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.

Debate over

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

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."
