As incentives for realizing this "moral

and will affect contests of admission to
California schools, bidding for federal
and state contracts, funding for programs
designed to encourage minorities and
women to apply for federal jobs, and
funding for programs designed to help
young women study and pursue careers
in math and science.
Supporters of the California
proposition, which include the University
of California Board of Regents and
California Gov. Pete Wilson, contend the
initiative is a return to the true concept
of civil rights, which was enacted to
prevent discrimination and preferential
treatment based on any race, sex, color,
ethnicity or national origin, according
to the organization behind the CCRI.
Among those who opposed the
initiative and questioned its legality were
civil rights activist Rosa Parks and retired
General Colin Powell.
"Efforts such as the [CCRI], which
poses as an equal opportunity initiative,
but which puts at risk every outreach

s controversy
program, sets back the gams made by
women and puts the brakes on expanding
opportunities for people in need," Powell
said last year.
Proposition 209 is currently being
examined for its constitutionality.
Thursday's forum will feature Clint
Bollick, a director of the Institute for
Justice and one of the coordinators that
helped to successfully pass the CCRI.
According to a press release issued
by the Federalist Society, he is currently
assisting in the defense of the initiative's
constitutionality.
Brenda Reddix-Smalls, a prominent
Columbia attorney and executive director
of the South Carolina Conference of the
NAACP, will also participate.
Also in attendance will be Hunter
Limbaugh and Darrell Jackson, members
of the South Carolina General Assembly.

of Representatives, is an attorney and

It was this commitment to helping
those in need, coupled with his
conservative approach, that made Dr.
Lublin think his speech was every bit
as "New Democrat" Clinton has claimed
himself to be.
"I was struck by the fact that his
speech was really a New Democrat
speech," Lublin said.
1 think his broader goal was outlining
his place in the history books," he said,
"and [to give] history the opportunity to
look upon his presidency kindly," Lublin
said about the overall goal of President
Clinton's fifth State of the Union address.

activist, rounds out the list of forum
participants.
The forum is the first of three forums
the Federalist Society will present this
semester, Wedekind said.
"We try and focus discussions on
topical legal events, ne said, we try
and bring in notable speakers on
particular issues."
The forums are presented in a threetiered

allow the audience to ask questions. The
speakers will answer the audience's
questions and clarify their positions.
According to Wedekind, judicial reform
in South Carolina may be a future topic,
with a forum featuring South Carolina
Sen. Glenn McConnell, who proposes to
reform the state's judicial selection process.
Also on the slate for this semester is
a panel on the topic of school vouchers.
This week's forum will be held
Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Law School
Auditorium.
