Napster

Hogue agreed with Snyder. „
“We don’t want to be in the position of being net
work police,” Hogue said.
But Hogue did warn that if USC started having
problems with the network because students were
clogging the system by getting on Napster, then com
puter services would have to consider blocking ac
cess.
Students said the glitch inconvenienced them.
“I don’t know what they tire doing, but I wish I
could get back on Napster,” sophomore Evan Smiley •
said.
The Napster issue got a little emotional when
someone posted fliers in various residence halls rec
ommending that everyone call and email the Direc
tor of Computer Systems Bill Mowery about the sup
posed blocked Napster access. ,
In fact, Mowery had very little to do with the
glitch.
His boss, Director of Computer Services Stan
Yarbrough, who hits been out of his office for the past
week, oversees all networking concerns, Yiirbrough’s
secretary said. Mowery has been filling in for Yarbrough.
Universities that have officially banned and blocked
students from getting on Napster include Arizona
State, Geoigia State, Kent State, University of Mis
sissippi, New York University, Notre Dame, North
western, University of Texas, Yale and the Universi
ty of Southern California.

Two USC honors students
at heart of 2000 campaign
■V»
by Charles Prashaw
The Gamecock
For many college students, this year’s presidential
election between A1 Gore and Geoige W. Bush will be
the first in which they will be able to vote. But for two
USC Honor’s College students, political involvement
goes far beyond the ballot box.
At the center of the presidential campaigns are
Rachana Desai, who works for the Gore campaign in
Nashville, Tenn., and David Hill, who works for the Bush
campaign in Austin, Texas. Desai is the assistant polit
ical director for the Northeast for Gore’s campaign
and Hill is a staff assistant for the Southeast region for
Bush’s.
Both students credit political insider Don Folwer,
a USC faculty member, with the inspiration to become
involved in the political process. Hill worked on former
Gov. David Beasley’s campaign in 1998 and with the
Bush campaign until February of this year.
Desai, who is a senior political science major, said
the job was intense and great preparation for the real
world. After returning to Nashville from a campaign
stop in West Virginia, she said in a telephone inter
view that the job requires working seven days a week
;ind sometimes 12 hours a day.
“You wouldn’t believe the amount of work there
is to do here. You can really value sleep after a while,”
Desai said.
She plans to return to USC in January and graduate
in May 2001. After college she plans to head for
Washington to work in politics.
Desai said she now realizes the value of writing all
those college papers, the organizational skills she de
I
veloped in her classes, the importance of knowing cur
rent events and history and being able to concentrate on
multiple tasks.
Also unique about Desai is that she is a first gener
ation American. Her parents, Ashok and Alka Desai of I
Greenwood, recently became naturalized citizens. Tltey j
and their daughter will be casting votes in their first pres- |
idential election
She said she first became interested in politics a cou
ple of years ago when she was first invited to a barbe
cue where she met Gore. Soon after, she switched her
major from biology and pre-med to political science, and
then she started working in the State House when she
was a junior.
Hill went to Austin to take part in the Bush cam- 1
paign. He is also casting his first presidential vote and |
is a junior public relations major.
Hill said one of the highlights of his job so far has
been the Republican Convention earlier this year where
he was the delegation liaison for the state of Louisiana.
“Working for this campaign is an opportunity that L
I may never have again,” he said.
Hill also juggles correspondence courses in Amer
ican literature and physics. He will return to USC in No
vember for two eight-week classes before the semester
ends.
After graduating in May 2002, he plans to attend
law-school. '

Disaster
from page 1
during a visual inspection of the plant.
The leak was discovered during a planned
service shutdown for plant refueling be
ginning Oct.7.
These outages are scheduled every 18
months, and during the refueling process,
one-third of the uranium fuel assembly in
the core is replaced, Duncan said. During
the outages, inspectors can inspect areas
of the plant that are inaccessible while it
is in use.
Duncan said the crack is unusual, and
is the first instance of such a crack ever
discovered in the nation.
All welds in the piping system will be
tested and inspected for similar fractures
or leaks.
The repair plan is to replace the af
fected area of the pipe and extensively
test the crack. The discovery of the crack
will lengthen the scheduled outage,
likely into mid-December, Duncan said.
During this time, officials will gt t
head start on the next schedule refueling
and work on preventative and other sched
uled maintenance.

the bandwagon of online sales.
According to Randy Hanna of City
Art, shopping online at their store’s se
cure site, artexpress.com, has its pros and
cons.
“It’s generally a little bit better priced
than coming into the store, but there’s not
as much product,” Hanna said.
He said there is a larger variety of in
dividual items in the actual store, but cus
tomers needing to buy items in bulk or
large volume, such as a supply of paint,
would be better served online due to the
discounted rates.
However, buyers needing to make
small purchases like a few sheets of pa
per or a paintbrush should simply come
into the store to see in person what they
are getting.
Another major supplier of goods to
USC art students is Phoenix Graphix in
Columbia.
According to Judy Lovette, the com
pany doesn’t yet have an online presence,
but it acknowledges competition from)’ -
temet sales and has had discussions about
launching their own site.
On USC’s campus, the University
Bookstore at the Russell House does car
ry a limited inventory of art supplies.
Addams University Bookstore, Car
olina’s and the South Carolina Bookstore
don’t carry any at this time.
