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."

Hussein's polity leads Albright to
believe that while diplomacy is the best
and the first goal of American foreign
policy in dealing with Iraq, military
force is not out of the question,
though it is the last possible resort.
"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.

During Wednesday's Student Senate
meeting, Senate Finance Committee
member Steve Veldman proposed
two bills for future consideration.
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

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.

who manages computer operations in
the Thomas Cooper Library," Sharpe
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

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."
