Candy, Shelley Long, Mike Myers, Mar
tin Short and many other big names have
been part of this comedy tour.
Weisgarber also said she expects to
see some of the current performers from
The Second City to become big names
soon. “In a year or two, you may see
some of the comedians from The Sec
ond City on Saturday Night Live.
They have had several members go on
to act for Saturday Night Live.”
Computer science freshman Matt
Montmeny said he looks forward to see
ing The Second City.
“I think it will give us all a good thing
to do. With the TV show ‘Whose Line
Is It Anyway?’ airing right now, improv
comedy has picked up a lot of popular
ity,” Montmeny said.
“I think the show will attract a lot
of people.”

Print journalism sophomore Steven
Suchomski donated the second highest
amount with $240 and won a new bi
cycle from Outspokin’.
All the money will go to help WUSC
with the cost to stay on the air. But the
station’s public affairs director, Erin de
Poix, said most of the budget comes from
student activity fees, with about 25 per
cent of the station budget coming from
fund raisers.
“We raised more money than we ex
pected this weekend; but the more mon
ey we have, the better we can make
the station,” de Poix said.
Each two-hour show gave away a
CD prize pack to the person who do-,
nated the most money during that show.
Also, every person who put the total
over $200 received a prize pack. The
prizes where donated by Outspokin’,
The 4:20, New Brookland Tavem, The
Elbow Room, Carmike Cinemas, The
Rosewood market, The Firm and Three
Rivers Music Festival.
The event, which officially started
at 11:30 a.m. Friday with live perfor
mancesfrom local bands Hurt Reynolds
and The Speakeasies on Greene Street,
was sponsored by Ford Focus and Ford
Explorer Sport Track.
Along with the change in on-air for
mat, WUSC had live remote broad
casts from the Three Rivers Music Fes
tival and New Brookland Tavern. At New
Brookland Tavern, the bands Steely, Erec
tor Set, Mandible and Zoa preformed.
According to de Poix, the station
pulled listeners from 93.5 and other area
stations and exposed some new listeners
to the station.
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.

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.
