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.

BRIEFS
History professor
nominated for Emmy
A USC history professor and
alumnus has been nominated for
an Emmy Award.
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.

Retrospectus” includes prints,

Saunders uses etching,

his prints.
The museum will host a public
