The iced tea made me do it.
That s the detense ottered Dy lobbyist
Gregory DeLozier, 35, who was
charged with the attempted murder of
his wife, Michelle. She was stabbed
by a masked intruder Tuesday at a salon
where she was having her hair done.
During a videotaped statement he
gave police after his arrest, DeLozier
said sediment in a bottle of iced tea he
drank produced weird side effects. That,
coupled with the stress of an upcoming
mortgage deal the couple was pursuing,
made him snap, he said.
Police said DeLozier, the legislative
director of the New Jersey Association
of Realtors, put on a ski mask, sunglasses,
a coat and gloves Tuesday, and
went to the salon.
At the shop's back door, he held
an 8-inch butcher knife to the throat of
an employee and announced a robbery,
police said. Once inside, the masked intruder
took $40 from the shop owner,
then turned toward Mrs. DeLozier and
accused her of helping put him in jail

Carpenter thinks science educa>n
is an integral part of a total edution
for all students, whether they're
irsuing a career in science or not.
"Science is a life skill that is imirtant

"Many teachers are woefully unepared,
by no fault of their own, to

Gov. Jim Hodges will welcome South
Carolina Student Association delegates
to the SCSA conference, "The Day After:
History in the Making."
The. first general assembly will be
held in the Russell House and will consist
of a videotaped welcome from
Hodges and introductions to the other
featured speakers.
SCSA Director Whitney Shively said
the conference gives students a chance
"| to "meet state leaders and other students."
"I am excited that our Student Government
has gotten the conference [to
come to USC1," Director of Student Life
Jerry Brewer said.
The three-day conference will be
filled to capacity and will include delegates
from USC, Clemson University,
College of Charleston, South Carolina
State University and Winthrop University.
The conference will "allow students
to trade ideas about improving higher
education with students from other
schools," Shively said.
"Improving higher education is
not a USC issue, it's not a Clemson issue,
it is an issue that is important to
all of us," Brewer said. "[Improving higher
education] has to happen through an
initiative like the SCSA."
Delegates will attend several different
group discussions and talks by
