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.

that number has grown to 185, she classified
all the nations in four groups.
"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.

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

Students
rally against

Gamecock
copy editor EMH REED
Budget cuts, voter apathy and discrimination
in The Gamecock brought many ofUSCs
African-American students together Thursday
for a rally.
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
