Right: The press wait and w; ALBRIGHT continued from page one new challenge that faces the students of today and the leaders of tomorrow. "You have opportunities in shaping the future of America in the world in a way that no other generation has. You will understand better than others the importance of American leadership," Albright said. With that, Albright began to further discuss "rogue states" with American foreign policy against Iraq being the issue that was key for her addressing USC students. "I think you need to look at the record of the last seven or eight years, and I think you will see that Saddam Hussein is a particularly horrific dictator," she said. "He has used chemical weapons not only against his neighbors but against his own people 10 times in the last 10 years?three times against his own people, and seven against Iran. He has started two wars. He has invaded a country next door. He is a repeat offender. He is the kind of rogue state leader that is not only a threat to his own neighborhood but... to our national security." I Commission to ELECTION continued from page one "Although I didn't win, since this is u maybe I can get another shot," he said. Hall also said he still wants to be involv "Win or lose, I'm still going to be there fo dents," he said. Cauthen also said there is a pending ii in the vice presidential race involving Chri "There is a pending infraction with Chi and we will deliberate that as well. As for r it is official," Cauthen said. Dorsel attributed his win to his campa ager, family support and a great race. "I am very excited.

"I think it is essential that the international community continue its insistence that Saddam Hussein live up to his obligations (to allow UN inspectors to check for chemical weapons)," she said, "and allow unfettered, unconditional access to those sites by the inspectors who are professionals... I hope very much that this will end up as one of those examples where diplomacy worked because the threat of the use of force was out there." After reaffirming current United States foreign policy, Albright opened up to the students for a question and answer session.

Veldman said the first proposal would require all incoming senators and executive officers to take an oath of office before accepting their responsibilities as university representatives. "First, I would like to thank Sen. [Graham] King for his help with this bill," Veldman said. "We want to include the oath of office in the university's Constitutional codes so that it will be a requirement for anyone before he or she takes office." The second bill would merely clarify some of the language within the Student Senate voting codes. "There has been some confusion in the past about what constitutes a call for a division-of-senate vote," Veldman said. "This bill would hopefully V11"" W1VIn addition, Academic Committee Chairman Jonathan Sharpe spoke enthusiastically about his committee's progress during the past week. "On Monday, [the Academic Committee] met with Basil Jesudason, * Candidate called inaa allocations RALLY continued from page one The Gamecock, "as far as election coverage," she said. "There was too much concentration on Kim [Dickerson] andonly one thing done on Zerell [Hall]. I definitely think those things are unfair, said Baxter, former AAAS president and former chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. "I think there are a lot of issues going on adversely affecting the African-American community," she said. "I don't feel like the administration and the newspaper address these things. I think a lot of it is political and inherently racial." "The recap should have started with president and vice president," criminal justice sophomore Freeman Humes said. He said it was like The Gamecock was trying to help their campaign. "The Gamecock recaps the executive officers' terms each year at election time. T^e president's recap would have been included Monday ^s well if Jamel Franklin had returned our reporter's phone calls in a timely fashion," said Adam Snyder, Editor in Chief of The Gamecock. "In fact, last year at this time, we recapped Mr. Franklin's vice-presidential term while he was running for president," Snyder said.

"He told us that each year, the library tries to update at least onethird of their computers in order to keep up [with new technology!" Sharpe mentioned the possibility of implementing uniform menus in all library computers, which would presumably improve overall efficiency and compatibility. "Basically, we want students to get more for their student technology fee," Sharpe said. Sharpe and his committee met with USC Registrar Richard Bayer to discuss additions to USC's current online technology."We talked about eventually getting full TIPS operation online, as well as maybe including things like teacher evaluations and class syllabi," Sharpe said. Senate absences on Wednesday included Sens. Sumeet Shah, Elizabeth Fordham, Kimberly Boan, Kelly Vickery, LaTasha Friday, and Brandy Grimes. coverage lequate, unfair u Criminal justice senior Terrance Levine said he believed The Gamecock should not have printed the article about Dickerson's cancer so close to election day. "I feel as though they wanted to try to get the campus to sympathize with her," Levine said. Some black students also were upset that The Gamecock ran a picture last week of the black rape suspect from Benedict College and have never run a picture of a white suspect. "It is unfortunate that students deem The Gamecock racist. It was not our intention or desire to alienate any group at USC," Snyder said. "All I can say is I know in my heart that we are not racist. I wish all students would believe that." "We must always seek the knowledge. A voteless people is a hopeless people," Franklin told the audience. Baxter believes the.rally was successful. "I think a lot of students are more aware of what's going on," such as ideas and concerns, and "how they affect the black community," she said. After the rally, the students joined hands in a circle and sang "We Shall Overcome." /___^.\put Our I (SPECialsJ W^Mon. Jf Customer /jr Appreciation Night Drink Specials Hi Tues.
