Albright news editorSMlk LADENHEIM Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State of the United States, became another name to add to the University of South Carolina's list of distinguished and brilliant guest speakers on Thursday. Albright chose USC as a forum in order to discuss foreign policy with undergraduate students, rather than the public and general press. This decision is one that many feel Albright made due to the lack of respect and dignity offered at a similar press conference held at Ohio State University on Tuesday. "I think it was a disgrace what happened to Albright at Ohio State. People need to show manners and respect for a woman of her stature," journalism junior Ann-Lamar Tuten said. Albright felt that coming to USC would be an excellent opportunity. "I wanted to come here not only because of your beautiful historic campus and diverse student body... [but] because the University of South Carolina embodies what I believe, which is that it is vitally important to educate young people, for your lives which will be global lives, Albright said. A global world with all of its conflicts, struggles and economies was the topic that Albright first approached.

"Rogue states" was the category under which Iraq fell and with its mention, the tone of the conversation evolved into how well USC students are taught of the world's growing conflicts. "This campus leads the field in international business education and has a topflight foreign language program.

According to Albright, the simplicity of studying world politics in the era when she was in college is no longer present in today's complex world. In her time, she referred to the world being divided into two "blocks," and while it was very dangerous it was nowhere near the level of danger that is represented in today's world. There were no more "good guys and bad guys," but instead Albright referred to a ALBRIGHT page three i >on unof 1 jp :: .J: ;:::?:j <<::::-:[MBfflyjM8S^^^^^^^^^^>:---::> >j?ja t Unofficial presidentelect Klro Dicker | the ekctitm results.

The rally, organized by concerned students, attracted 200 to 300 students. The purpose, besides motivating black students to vote, was to make students aware of current issues believed to be affectine the black student body. SG President Jamel Franklin said he wanted to show the student body "exactly how strongly so many students feel about the issue," namely the 43 percent budget cut administered to USC's Association of AfricanAmerican Students, which Franklin calls "disrespectful and egregious." Franklin's speech centered on the budget cut. He said the cut showed a lack of concern for the students in the AAAS, as if the administration was saying to them, a<Bam. We're cutting you in half. Deal with it," he said. The students who spoke believe AAAS deserves the amount of money that was previously allocated to them. "Why now?" Franklin asked the audience. "It didn't happen in the past." He said the students must ask themselves, "have we stepped back too far? "I just feel that the Senate Finance Committee has done a disservice to the entire community," Franklin said. AAAS' budget was slashed from $14,000 to $8,000 for the 199899 school year, according to AAAS President Tieffa Harper. "We as student leaders must be held accountable for the actions we take," Franklin said. "The point [of the rally] was to hold these leaders accountable." One of the rally speakers, English senior Krystal Kenely, said the rally was held "basically just to be a voice for students who feel they don't have a voice. I was not speaking for any organization." She believes more students decided to vote after hearing the speakers at the rally. "We just have to keep the energy level up," she said. In her speech, Kenely criticized SG presidential candidate Kim Dickerson for her involvement in the AAAS budget cut. She also expressed her concern with black voter apathy and her discontent with The Gamecock's coverage of black students. "The Gamecock has a history of representing African-American students unfairly," she said. Many students felt that The Gamecock concentrated coverage too heavily on the white SG candidates. Kim Baxter, who spoke at the rally, expressed her concern about discrimination in RALLY page three r
