Che ©amecock SG Cabinet from page 1 “If we don’t, it’s going to take a month, and it’s going to ' put us behind (next semester),” Ford said. “The most important thing about this Cabinet is going to be our ability to just start off right now and get things done,” he said. Ford said Braddock was fepped for the top spot because he trusted her and because she was enthusiastic and well oiganized. “She has the ability to keep the big picture in mind and pay attention to the details,” he said. Braddock said she would help other Cabinet members develop contact with administrators who can help them with their jobs. “I also want to be there to serve the other Cabinet members,” Braddock said. Ford said Brian Hunter was chosen for his knowledge of the codes and his trustworthiness. “He’s a very honest person,” Ford said. “He’s got agood reputation.” Hunter said he plans on being more involved than past SG attorney generals, advising senate on legislation before it passes. . “I plan on actually taking an active role in the legislative process,” Hunter said. He said allowing senators to ask technical questions of the attorney general ahead of time “will make things a lot smoother.” Ford said Elections Commissioner-designee Adam Bourne had ideas about changing the debate system and the amount of access students have to SG candidates. “Adam had some good ideas to kind of shake things up/’ Ford said. " As with Jotaka Eaddy, Ford’s predecessor, neither of Ford’s opponents during the February elections was appointed to Cabinet. Ford said former BGLA President Angela Wilson didn’t apply and that Donald Brock applied but never showed up to interview for a Cabinet position.

However, that would change if Palms decided to throw his hat into the ring, Hayes said. “Obviously, if he decides to run, he’s going to have to make some choices,” Hayes said. “It would-be hard to do both.” Sen. Arthur Ravenel. R-Charleston, also said Palms’ inclination to run for Senate wouldn’t affect the subcommittee’s business. “I’ve never seen anything like that happen,” Ravenel said. But he, too, said Palms needs to make a choice. “If he’s going to run, he needs to make a decision,” Ravenel said, drawing on his own experience with campaigns. “I’ve run 25 of them.... It takes a lot of doing,” he said. Meanwhile, WIS-TV reported Monday that state Public Safety Department Director Boykin Rose, who had been mentioned as another possible candidate for Thurmond’s seat, was taking himself out of the running. According td the report, sources close to Rose said he had decided against going for the Democratic nomination to succeed the 98 year-old Thumiond, who has held his seat for nearly 50 years. Rose is the third possible candidate to step out of the race. Superintendent of Education Inez Tenenbaum announced last week that she wouldn’t pursue the seat, and USC trustee Darla Moore recently told friends she wasn’t interested. Other possible Democratic candidates include former U.S. Ambassador to Britain Phil Lader, U.S. Rep. Jim Clybum, Greenville businessman Hayne Hipp and state Sen. Tom Moore. U.S. Rep. Lindsey Graham is the only candidate trying to get the GOP’s nod for the seat. A slew of endorsements from leading Republicans makes it unlikely anyone will try to mount a challenge to Graham, who gained notoriety as a House manager during former President Bill Clinton’s Senate impeachment trial. The Associated Press contributed to this report. E-mail the university desk at gamecockudesk@hotmail.com SLED gets new equipment by Brandon Larrabee The Gamecock Gov. Jim Hodges on Monday announced federal funding for a “Computer Crimes Center,” which he described as a “one-stop shop” for law enforcement trying to keep up with high-tech criminals. U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings, D-S.C., and State Law Enforcement Division Chief Robert Stewart also spoke at the press conference. Hollings helped secure federal funding for the project. “The criminal element constantly changes, and as a result of that, we have to keep changing and improving” the state’s law enforcement methods, Hodges said. Hollings agreed. “We’ve got to keep up with the sophistication of crime commitment,” he said. Stewart said the $3.6 million federal grant would help state and federal law enforcement officers track high-tech crime. “If we don’t get started on it right now, we’re going to be so far behind the eight ball we’ll never catch up,” he said. “It’s not the crime of the future, it’s the crime of the present,” Stewart said. According to Stewart, the center would begin operating soon, though he wouldn’t specify when. The center, to be located in Columbia, will fight an array of computer crimes, including Internet fraud, child exploitation, computer intrusions, child pornography, denial of service and “various telecommunications crimes,” according to' SLED. It will also allow officers to access computer records about criminal activities if they have obtained, a warrant, Stewart said. 'it will be operated jointly by SLED, the FBI and the Secret Service. “This is something that no one agency can do on its own,” said Edward Allen, FBI deputy assistant director in the lab division, who was also at Monday’s announcement. Stewart said it was impossible for state law enforcement alone to handle computer crime because someone outside the state could commit crimes against South Carolinians. “A person anywhere can commit a 1 crime here in South Carolina,” he said. Stewart said that though some regional labs had been set up in areas such as San Diego, New York City and North Texas, officials believe this to be the first statewide system. “Wfe don’t know of any other state that has a truly statewide system such as this,” Stewart said. Allen said the center would allow agents to examine evidence of computer crimes without tampering with it by saving the evidence to disk and opening it elsewhere. The center will also have forensic tools, he said. The city desk can be reached at | gamecockcitydesk@hotmail.coni * Hodges from page 1 there,” Owings said. “We always fulfill obligations.” The College Democrats at USC were to sponsor the governor’s appearance. At the last minute they were able to get Frank Fusco, the governor’s deputy on budget issues, to speak at the Russell House. According to College Democrats President Chrissy Stauffer, the whole thing was a “misunderstanding.” “It was a simple scheduling conflict. These types of things happen all the time,” Stauffer said. According to Owings, at no time has anybody from USC recently requested the governor to speak. “This is a very important topic for the governor,” Owings said. “We would have loved to come talk about it.” Fusco spoke to the crowd on ways the governor is trying to preserve funds for higher education. “There has been a lot of activity with students concerning the budget cuts, and the governor has noticed,” Fusco said. Fusco outlined the governor’s latest plan, which would end the need for a $93.7 million cut in state allocations to higher education. Under the governor’s proposal, the governor’s office and every constitutional officer’s office would see a 15 percent cut, which would free up about $7 million. Federal matching funds would cover $24 million, nearly $5 million would come from general budget reductions, debt collection on higher-education loans would bring in $2 million, and $60 million that was going to deferred maintenance on college and university buildings would be reallocated. Fusco said the governor’s plan would require no new taxes and would save the 33 publicly funded college and universities in South Carolina from any budget cuts at all. However, other state agencies, such as the Department of Mental Health and the Department of Corrections, would still see budget cuts between five and 20 percent.

Women who use hormonal contra ceptives are sbongly advised not to smoke Some women should not use hormonal conlra ceplives For sample, you should not lake LUNELLE" Monthly Contraceptive Injection il you are pregnant orhink you maybe pregnant. You should also not use LUNELLE" Monthly Contrar^ptive Injedion it you have any of the fol lowing conditions: • A history of heart attack or stroke • Blood dots in the legs (thrombophlebitis), lungs (pulmonaiy embolism), or eyes • A history ol Mood dots in he deep veins ot your tegs • Chest pain (angina pectoris) • Known ot suspected breast cancer or cancer ol he lining o( he uterus. «vik or vagina • Unexplained vaginal bleeding (until a diag nosis is reached by your doctor) • Yellowing ol he whites ol he e^s or ot he skin (jaundice) duing pregnancy or during previous use ol he pill or ohet hormonal contraceptives • Liver tumor (benign or cancerous) • Known or suspected pregnancy • Allergy to any ot the ingredients contained in ^ LUNELLE" Monthly Contraceptive hjectioci • Over age 35 and smoke 15 or more cigarettes pet day Tell your heaitti care provider it you have ever had any of these conditions Your nealth care provider can recommend a safer method at birlti cortrat. For Ihe majority ot women, hormonal contracep tives can be taken safely. But there are some women who are at high risk ot developing certain serious diseases that can be life-threatening or. may cause temporary or permanent disability. Tell your health care provider if you have: • Breast nodules, fibrocystic disease ot the breast, an abnormal breast x-ray or mammo gram, strong family history of breast cancer • Diabetes • Elevated cholesterol or triglycerides • High blood pressure • Migraine or other headaches or epilepsy • Mental depression • Gallbladder, heart or kidney disease • History ol scanty or irregular menstrual periods • Smoke, especially it 35 years or older Women with any of these conditions should be checked often by their health care provider if they choose to use LUNELLE™ Monthly Contraceptive Injection. Also, be sure to inform your doctor ot health care provider il you smoke or are on any medications. KWWAKJgRWSmoCIMHI^WtTH 1. Risk of developing blood dob. heart attacks, and strokes Blood clots and blockage of btood vessels are the most serious side effects ol taking hormonal con traceptives. In particular, blood clots can occur in the legs and can travel to the lungs and can cause sudden blocking ol the vessel carrying blood to the lungs. Rarely, dots occur in the blood vessels ol the eye and may cause blindness, double vision, or impaired vision. If you take hofmonai contraceptives such as LUNELLE™ Monthly Contraceptive Injection and need elective surgery, need to slay in bed lot a prolonged illness, or have recently had a baby, you may be at risk ol developing blood dels. You should consult your doctor about stopping hor monal contraceptives three to four weeks before surgery and not taking hormonal contraceptives lor Iwo weeks after surgery or during bed rest. You should also not lake hormonal contraceptives soon alter delivery ol a baby It is advisable to wait tor a) least tour weeks after delivery before using hormonal contraceptives such as LUNELLE™ Monthly Contraceptive Injection. (See also the section on Breast Feeding in WHAT PRECAU TIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED DURING THE USE OF LUNELLE MONTHLY CONTRACEPTIVE INJECTION?) Hormonal contraceptives may also increase Hie tendency to develop strokes (stoppage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain) and angina pedoris and heed attacks (blockage of blood vessels in the heart) Any ol these conditions can cause death or disability. Smoking greatly increases the possibility ol devel oping blood clots or sutfening Heart attacks and strokes Furthermore, smoking and the use ot hor monal contraceptives greatly increase the chances ot developing and dying of heart disease, particu larly if you are over 35 years of age 2. Gallbladder disease Hormonal contraceptive users probably have a greater risk than non-users ol having gallbladder disease. 3. Liver tumors In rare cases, hormonal contraceptives can cause benign txjt dangerous liver tumors. These benign liver tumors can rupture and cause fatal internal bleeding. In addition, a possible but not definite association has been found with hormonal contra ceptives and liver cancers in two studies, in which a few women who developed these very rare can cers were found to have used hormonal contra ceptives for long periods. However, liver cancers are extremely rare. The chance of developing liver cancer from using hormonal contraceptives is thus even rarer. 4. Cancer of the reproductive organs and breasts There is. at present, no confirmed evidence that oral hormonal contraceptives increase the risk of cancer of the reproductive organs in human stud ies. Studies to date of women taking the pill have reported conflicting findings on whether pill use increases the risk of developing cancer of the breast. Most of the studies on breast cancer and pill use have found no overall increase in the risk of developing breast cancer, although some stud ies have reported an increased risk of developing breast cancer in certain groups of women Some studies have found an increase in the inci dence of cancer of the cervix in women who use oral hormonal contraceptives. However, this find ing may be related to factors other than the use of oral hormonal contraceptives. Studies have found that women who used injectable hormonal contraceptives (Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection) had no increased overall risk of developing cancer of the breast, ovary, uterus, or cervix However, women under 35 years of age whose first exposure to Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection was within the previous 4 to 5 years may have a slightly increased risk of developing breast career similar to that seen with ora) contraceptives. Women who use hormonal contraceptives and have a strong family history of breast cancer or who have breast nodules or abnormal mammo gram should be closely followed by their doctors. 5. Changes in bone mineral density Use of injectable hormonal contraceptives con taining the progesterone-type hormone found in LUNELLP Monthly Contraeptive Injection may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in your bones. This could increase your risk of developing bone fractures. The rate of bone mineral loss is greatest in the early years of use of this type of contraceptive, but after that, it begins to resemble the normal rate of age-related bone mineral loss. 6. Allergic reactions Severe allergic reactions have been reported in some women using injectable hormonal contra mooetound in LtSlELLpSonthly Contraceptive Injection. Allergic reactions occurring in women using LUNELLP Monthly Contraceptive Injectior have been mainly skin reactions, and not respira tory in nature. Serious allergic reactions require emergency medical treatment. ESTIMATED RISK OF DEATH MOM AM All methods of birth control and pregnancy are associated with a risk of developing certain dis eases that may lead to disability or death An esti mate of the number of deaths associated with dif ferent methods of birth control and pregnancy has been calculated. The risk of death from any birth control method is less than the risk of childbirth, except for oral hor monal contraceptive users over the age ol 35 whe smoke and oral hormonal contraceptive users over the age of 40 even if they do not smoke. For women aged 15 to 39, the risk of death was high est with pregnancy (7-26 deaths per 100,000 women, depending on m). Among oral hormorv al contraceptive users wto do not smoke, the risk of death is always lower than that associated with pregnancy tot any age group, although over the age of 40. the risk increases to 32 de^hs per 100,000 women, compared to 28 associated with pregnancy at that age. However, lor oral hotmonal contraceptive users who smoke and are over the age at 35, the estimated numher ot deaths exceeds those tor other methods of birth control. If a woman is over the age of 40 and smokes, her estimated risk ol death is lour times higher (117/100.000 women) than me estimated nsk associated with pregnancy (2^100.000 women) in that age group. An Advisory Committee ot the FDA discussed this issue in 1969 and recommended that the benefits ol oral contraceptive use by healthy, non-smoking women over 40 years of age may outweigh the possible risks. However, women ol all ages are cautioned to use the lowest dose oral contracep tive that is effective, and are strongly advised not to smoke.
