Hollings wins 'oinker' award The Associated Press Washington-based Citizens Against Govern ment Whste has given Sen. Fritz Hollings an “Oinker” award, saying the S.C. Democrat exhibited “dogged perseverance in the mad pursuit of pork.” Citizens Against Government Wiste identified several S.C. projects it considered pork, including $1 million for improvements to the Limehouse Bridge connecting Kiawah Island and Seabrook Islands, $9 million for maintenance and renovations to the Charleston Border Patrol Academy, $6.3 mil lion for Fort Jackson’s Emeigency Services Center, and $300,000 each for studies of shrimp pathogens and loggerhead sea turtles. The group identifies as pork any project that was not competitively awarded, was requested by only one chamber of Congress or was added in con ference committee to bypass budget procedures in the House and Senate. “There are things that are not vetted by any kind of competition and not done out in the open,” said Tom Schatz, president of the group. “People local ly may say this is a great idea, but they have to re alize it does affect what goes on in the rest of the country.” Hollings said through a spokesman that he had “a better understanding of South Carolina’s needs than a Washington interest group.” “I was elected in 1998 because I delivered,” Hollings said. “My opponent said I delivered too much. Obviously, the people of South Carolina have a different definition of pork.” The 2000 Congressional Pig Book contains a total of4,326 projects worth $17.7 billion. Trampoline from page 1 dren’s programs worldwide. “Healthy American Families” and “Changing the Face of the World” are among the programs supported be the organization. According to Howell, the event is a hybrid of Alpha Delta Pi events begun by two other chap ters. The sorority’s chapter at the University of Florida began “I Spy an A-D-Pi.” This event consisted of squirting members of the sorority though out the day with water guns purchased from the or ganization, with proceeds from water gun sales go ing to charity. The trampoline idea came from the Francis Marion University chapter of the sorority. Members of the sorority take turns bouncing on the trampoline during the 24-hour period. How ell, who jumped from 8 to 9 p.m., explained that the fatigue they feel after completing the bounce a-thon helps participants identify with the fatigue parents of terminally ill children feel. Employees of the Salty Nut Cafe who observed the event had differing opinions on the nature of the event. “These people out here aren’t benefiting from it. If those girls actually went out and did some thing for the community, they would benefit, too; not just the Ronald McDonald House,” said Lau rel Wiker, a former USC student. Scotty Kednocker, a USC student and Salty Nut Employee, had a more favorable opinion. “I don’t mind seeing beautiful girls jump on a trampoline.” Another student, theater communications ju nior Chris Shurburtt, was concerned about the “trampoline-water gun” combination. “It perpetuates images of women that'sorori ties should be trying to stamp out,” Shurburtt said. “It’s not a negative image or a crass image that we’re portraying. It’s bad that society would think of it like that,” Howell said. *c"'-j- - Throwing your money tl(\WlQYK away on rent or dorm fees? esources Well Don’t Real Estate since 1983 Establish yourself Specializing in ihe sales of: by investing jn Condos & Townhomes your future, in the USC and Downtown Areas Properties available in: 799-0859 Park Circle * Plaza Centre (Ton Free: 1-888-799-0859) Senate Plaza The Edisto 1516 Richland street Place on the Greene E-mail: landmark@logicsouth.com , Single family homes also available l" Propecia I (finasteride) ! | Ask your doctor about this pill f from Merck. ; For more information, call i 1-888-MERCK-74.
