Debate from page 1 “As the year progresses, I think we have one or maybe two teams that could easily win the junior varsity national cjiampionships,” said Berube, who led the University of Utah to national championships. Berube said his young team has worked hard this year. “These kids spend anywhere from 12 to 20 hours a week just getting ready for debate,” Berube said. This time commitment comes in addition to the academic dedication necessary for the members to keep the required 3.0 GPA. “Debates work like tennis championships,” Berube said. Each debate team consists of two speakers who have to either affirm or rebut an opinion set forth by the opposing team. The number of teams gets narrowed down each round as each losing team is eliminated. The topic of the debates is set in St. Louis every year by a selection of coaches and stays the same for all of the debates. The topic is always related to American policy. This year, the topic is ‘It never becomes boring.’ Maggie McAllister Debate team member America’s foreign policy toward the Greater Horn of Africa. “It never becomes boring,” said Maggie McAllister, 19, a second-year student in the College of Liberal Arts. “Every foreign policy we do can indirectly affect our foreign policy toward Africa.” McAllister came from Kenton, Ohio, to USC after debating for two years in high school. Debaters said they chose USC mainly because of its good reputation in the field. “We would never have thought to come to University of South Carolina if it was not for debate,” said second-year College of Liberal Arts student Alan Hancock, 20, from Greensboro, N.C.

In addition, the student might have to perform community service for the Disability Services Office, Lewis said. “That’s who you inconvenience; that’s who you owe,” Lewis said. Huggins said another recent problem is students using the overnight parking in the Bull Street garage and failing to move their cars in the morning. “Students are abusing the privilege of parking free from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. in the Bull Street Parking Garage,” Huggins said The university desk can be reached at gamecockudesk@hotmail.com Flag from page 1 on a ribbon below the state seal. Democratic Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor, the Senate’s presiding officer, urged senators to pass the bill. “Make no mistake about the significance of the vote today — it will echo across the South and across the nation. It is a vote of very real economic significance ... a vote of fairness, dignity and respect,” Taylor said. The bill, which only needed 29 votes to pass, received all but four of the Senate’s 32 Democratic votes but only six Republican votes. Four of the Republicans who voted in favor of changing the flag are from the metro Atlanta area, the region of the state that would have been affected most by a tourism boycott threatened by black leaders and the NAACP. Civil rights groups promised to call off any boycotts if the new flag was approved. Southern heritage groups opposed the change, and some have threatened lawsuits. ‘It is a vote of real economic significance ... a vote of fairness, dignity and respect.’ Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor Also during the past week of debate, several small groups of protesters have demonstrated outside the Georgia Statehouse. Security at the Statehouse has been placed on alert. Already, a formal ceremony is being planned at the Statehouse to commemorate the change in the flag. However, officials with the Georgia’s Secretary of State’s office said it was unclear how soon updated flags would begin flying at other state buildings because no new flags have been ordered yet. _^<T The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Lewis said misuse of liandicapped park ing isn’t taken lightly by his department. “We take it very seriously in this office,” Lewis said. He also elaborated on the possible punishments for a violation. He said the student judiciary department has the authority to turn in the parking pass to the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Department of Transportation, which can revoke it. This would be unfortunate, according to Lewis, because it would be punishing "Bad taste makes the day go by faster."
