city Chamber of Commerce, set up a
program with sororities and write
letters to businesses and every person
he knows.
The money Hartney and other
participants raise goes toward Push
America. Along the way, the mission is
to raise awareness, understanding and
compassion for people with disabilities.
According to the philanthropy’s Web
site, 14 million people were reached
during the 1997 tour.
In preparation for the tour, Hartney
has a particular training program in mind.
“There’s nothing you can do to
get ready for riding on a bicycle except
riding on a bicycle,” Hartney said.
“Running, lifting weights isn’t gonna do
it.”
Hartney wants to cycle two to three
times a week during the semester and
three to four times a week after exams
to reach the 1,500 miles
recommended by Push America.
A past participant in the event
said his experience was positive.
“It changed my life to see what
people with disabilities can do, rather
than what they can’t do,” said third-year
liberal arts student Gabriel Fluhr
Fluhrer, 22, is Hartney’s big brother in
Pi Kappa Phi and the only one who took
part in Gear Up Florida, a similar tour,
three times in a row.
Fluhrer said a person gains
essentially the same experience
during both trips and that one learns
mainly about self-sacrifice and how to
understand people with disabilities in a
whole new way.
He said he was proud Hartney is
going to represent USC and the
fraternity’s local chapter at this year’s
event.
“Mark is hard-working, and he has
a vision of what he wants to do,” Fluhrer
said.

Bourne
from page 1
participating in protests with the NAACP
and doing field work with the
Democratic Party. When he came to
USC, he became involved with student
government.
If elected, Bourne has many ideas
for reform of SG itself, starting with the
codes that govern the political
processes. He believes the codes are
outdated, calling them “bureaucratic
inertia.” He says the codes are
unnecessary in many ways, bad for
government efficiency, so they need to
be reformed or taken off the books
altogether.
“Several things may not make
sense,” Bourne said. “A lot was put in
there before we were here.”
Bourne thinks there needs to be
more flexibility not only with the codes
and processes, but also with the mem
bers of SG. He said certain people are
locked in the same jobs each year.
One element of Bourne’s campaign
promises is his pledge not to accept a
stipend, saying it would be better used
if it were spread out through SG.

‘Struck by Carolina Love,’
RHA event, begins today
by Valerie Matchette
The Gamecock
“Struck by Carolina Love,” the
theme of the Residence Hall
Association’s week of activities
promoting campus-wide goodwill, kicks
off today.
“Basically, we’re just trying to
promote love and community spirit,”
said Mandy Reeves, residence hall
programming chair. Reeves said the week,
which has been in the planning stages
for more than a month, is designed to
promote RHA as well.
Reeves said all students, whether
they live on- or off-campus, are invited
to take part in the festivities. The
celebration begins today on Greene Street
in front of the Russell House, with
music and free pizza. The guest
speaker will be Student Body President
Jotaka Eaddy. Tonight is Open Mic Night
at the South Quad Lounge at 8 p.m.
Tuesday night is Skate Night at the
Red Wing Rollerway, 2632 Decker Blvd.
RHA will be busing students to skate at
the rink for free, but students are
encouraged to bring canned goods. The
food will be donated to the Harvest Hope
Food Bank.
On Wednesday, there will be a
performance from a jazz ensemble at
noon on the Russell House patio, with
free refreshments. That night at 8, in
rooms 322 and 326 of the Russell House,
is the antithesis of Valentine’s Day: the
“Love Sucks” party. Partygoers are
encouraged to bring old love letters to
shred and pictures of former flames to
be mounted on a dartboard. According
to Reeves, “appropriate refreshments”
will be served: cookies shaped like
broken hearts and black punch.
Participants will also be decorating
valentines for nursing home residents.
On Thursday, RHA will sponsor a
date auction at 8 p.m. in the Towers
lobby, with proceeds going to the
American Heart Association. There will
be a semi-formal dance in the Bates
social room at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
Admission will be free.
Reeves stressed the fact that
everyone is welcome at these activities,
especially because they are all free.
“There’s no reason not to come
skating or shred your old love letters,”
Reeves said.
RHA will also be showing romantic
movies on Channel 8 this week, such as
“Autumn in New York” and “You’ve
Got Mail.”
