Aloha Bowl bid rejection troubles S.C. BY GREG HAMBRICK THE GAMECOCK City and state officials have learned a lesson: Aloha can mean hello or goodbye. With a friendly “hello,” Mayor Bob Coble welcomed representa- ■ tives of Aloha Sports Incorporated to Columbia. After several years of low tick et sales, the Honolulu-based group . was moving their two college foot ball bowl games out of Hawaii. They had successfully moved one to Seattle and hoped to play the other at Williams-Brice Stadium, renaming the game the Palmetto Bowl. San Francisco had been the original selection to host the sec ond game, but the city wanted a date change that Aloha Sports couldn’t accommodate because of a contract with ABC that guaran teed the game would be played on Christmas Day. Coble, Gov. Hodges, several state legislators and merchants welcomed the opportunity of a bowl game, Christmas Day or not. “That’s not the problem, that’s the opportunity,” Coble said, citing that Columbia wouldn’t have had a chance for the bowl had it been able to be moved to another night. Coble saw an opportunity for the bowl game to give national ex posure to the area. He also saw the potential rev enue for hotels and restaurants during a time of the year that has traditionally not been very strong for the industries. Though it is hard to compare the two cities, Coble said Seattle is expected to earn $30 million from their new bowl game. But Columbia’s opportunity quickly disappeared once USC sports officials got word of the dis cussion. Though the bowl game re ceived a lot of encouragement outside the university, two voic es that counted, those of USC Athletics Director Mike McGee and football coach Lou Holtz, strongly opposed the move. McGee cited several reasons for his views, including the lack of involvement from the Southeastern Conference in the game and the needs of the USC football team when preparing for their own bowl games. Just two days after news broke that the game could be coming to the state, “There should have been a process for the voice of the community to be heard when there is something like this on university grounds that could impact the community.” Mayor Bob Coble USC President John Palms made the official announcement that the school had decided against hosting the bowl. “There should have been a process for the voice of the com munity to be heard when there is something like this on universi ty grounds that could impact the community,” Coble said. Both the university and the city point to the new coliseum as an example of their commitment to the other and a reason that the opposing side should have tried to be more accommodating. Coble feels the money and land the city has put into the new coli seum should have been reason enough for the university to give a “fair evaluation” to the propos al. Disagreeing, McGee feels the money the athletics department has invested in the new arena is example enough of the schools commitment to the region. After saying “goodbye” to Columbia, Aloha Sports is still searching for a home for the bowl game. Lauren Passaretta “That’s scary. That’s like the Princess Di thing.” Jimmy Turner “It’s kind of shocking. I liked her. She was a good artist.” Ciistopher Kettrey “I wasn’t a fan before - and I won’t be now - because I saw Romeo Must Die, and hopefully, her music is better. Kanika Speach “Well, I found out at 1 this morning. I was shocked because she was famous. It just goes to show that it doesn’t matter what age you are - it can happen to you.” Aaliyah Singer/actress dies at age 22 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Aaliyah struck a licensing deal as a teen-ager after her un cle, Barry Hankerson, formed Background Records. She went gold with her de but album, Age Ain’t Nothing But Number, in 1994 — when she was 15 — and benefitted from working closely with hip hop producer R. Kelly. “She was like one of my daughters; she was one of the sweetest girls in the world,” Grammy-winning producer, arranger and composer Quincy Jones said. “She vacationed with me and my family togeth er in Fiji. I loved her and re spected her, and I am absolute ly devastated.” Rahming said the other pas sengers killed were Scott Gallin, 41; Keith Wallace, 49, of Los Angeles; Douglas Kratz, 28, a representative for Virgin Records, and makeup artist Eric Foreman, 29, both of Hollywood, Calif.; Gina Smith, 29, of New Jersey and Christopher Maldonado, 32, of New York. Anthony Dodd, 34, of Los Angeles, died at a Nassau hos pital early Sunday morning. The plane’s pilot, identified only as L. Marael, also was killed. The plane was bound for Opa-locka, Fla., police said. Abaco Island Chief Councilor Silbert Mills said he happened to be at the airport as the plane took off and then crashed. He said he helped res cue the injured. “I pulled one from the air craft, and he was screaming,” Mills said. “He said he was in a lot of pain.” The Cessna 402 was owned by Skystream, a company based in Pembroke Pines, Fla., said Kathleen Bergen, a spokes woman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Atlanta. The company’s telephone number was not listed, and of ficials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Dan Carter was a researcher for “George Wallace: Settin’ the Woods on Fire,” a PBS film about the former governor of Alabama. Carter is nominated, along with the film’s producers, in the Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft category. The film was selected by the Writers Guild of America for Best Documentary of the Year for 2000 and has received another Emmy nomination for Best Documentary Script Writing. It is based on a Carter’s biography of Wallace. Film Studies professor Dan Streible said the film is powerful. “It’s one of those films that you watch with your hands over your eyes because it’s uncomfortable but interesting at the same time,” Streible said. “It captured the very compelling character that George Wallace was.” Carter also worked on another Emmy-nominated film, “Scottsboro: An American Tragedy.” It is nominated for Best Documentary and was also based on a book he wrote. The 22nd Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled for Sept. 5.
