Judicial Council President Camber Cauthen, who chairs the court of impeachment, said Monday evening she hadn’t yet read the proposal. “I don’t know if it’s even valid,” she said. “I don’t know because I haven’t even read over it.” Cauthen said the'council wouldn’t meet this week because of Creed Week. She said the council would probably take the pro posal up at its next meeting Nov. 10, two days after the court of impeachment meets. Cauthen said she planned to convene the court as scheduled. If the articles pass through the court on that day, there would be one week left between the consideration of the proposal by the council and the meeting of the full senate to consider the charges Nov. 17. Sen. Adam Dawkins, who co-chairs the judiciary committee, said he wasn’t sure the Judicial Council could do that. “I don’t know if that is a power the Judicial Coun cil would hold or not,” he said. Dawkins said attending the SG Constitution takes a vote of the student body, and that would be the easiest way to handle Jones’ request. However, he said the court would have to deal with the issue. “I think this ought to be something we check in to,” Dawkins said. He said the court planned to continue with the im peachment hearings, barring a vote otherwise. If the court strikes down the articles, it’s a moot point, Dawkins said. However, if the court approves the articles, the sen ate might have to wait to hold a trial. “That [halting the senate trial] would be my first guess,” he said. Jones said he wouldn’t attempt to predict what the council would decide. However, he said he thought it would make the right choice. “With good consideration and deliberation, I think they’ll make the right decision,” he said. Judiciary committee co-chairman Patrick Gearman couldn’t be reached as of press time. BBBS from page 1 large turnout. More than 200 potential mentors attended last year's event, the largest number yet, and Damon is anticipating even more this year because of exposure from use. The BBBS works with more than 600 children, usually between the ages of 6 and 15 and from primarily single-parent families and diverse backgrounds that represent all races. Each mentor spends at least one hour a week with his assigned child, and both mentor and child decide how to spend their time together. Ideally, the commitment lasts a year, although Damon said the BBBS recognizes that some students are in Columbia only nine months each year. To accommodate students’ needs, Damon said the BBBS is working to design a program in which mentors would make only a semester-long commitment. The BBBS is a nonprofit organization that works to strengthen families and en courage positive youth development through one-on-one and group mentoring be tween adult volunteers and children.

Lewis said the creed makes USC dis tinguished among colleges in the country. “The reason I think it is importan tis the University of South Carolina is nationally recognized for the Carolin ian Creed,” Lewis said. The Carolinian Creed has been the university’s conduct code for 10 years. It came about when a group of faculty, staff and students, after studying what seemed to be a growing number of hate crimes and incidents of “incivility” on American college campuses, agreed that USC’s values could be stated more clear ly The values were outlined in the creed and are emphasized through Creed Week activities. Past events have included “The Game of Life,” sponsored by the Car olina Student Judicial Council, which looked at the difficulties people of other backgrounds encounter. Another event, put on by Students Allied for a Greener Earth, focused on ethics and the environment. There was also a Renaissance dis cussion, which was a forum for student and faculty discussion about the creed and how it relates to student life at the university. A Community Service Drop-In, sponsored by the Student Judicial Coun cil and Alpha Phi Omega, was geared toward giving to senior citizens.
