Afghanistan Marines might join battle in Kandahar CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 armor, left the base Saturday. U.S. officials would not say where the vehicles were going. The Marines hadn’t joined the fight since helicopter gunships at tacked a Taliban convoy a week ago. They have been joined by a five British, German and Australian officers ahead of a pos sible push on Kandahar. A U.S. military source said the Taliban were moving in rein forcements, underscoring the vow of supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar to fight to the death to hold the birthplace of the movement. In the latest report of friendly fire casualties, Mohammed Zeman, the anti-Taliban defense chief for Nangarhar province that includes Jalalabad, pleaded with the United States to stop bombing civilian areas. The mistaken targeting report edly took place not far from the Tora Bora cave complex believed to be a possible hideout for Osama bin Laden, head of the al-Qaida terrorist group. McKissick Eleven employees could lose jobs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 bling for ways to cut spending and meet the Christmas deadline for its report to President Palms. SDIC chairman Jerry Odom, a frequent visitor to McKissick, said it’s not the university’s fault USC is having these problems. “We, as the higher education community in the state, have not done a good job in showing the Legislature the value of higher education as it relates to the eco nomic development of the state,” Odom said. “I also don’t quite understand that feeling in the Legislature that you need to have a philosophy of cut taxes and cut taxes and cut taxes, knowing full well that if you don’t replace the revenue with something else, then you clearly don’t have that revenue to spend,” Odom said. Despite the economic troubles, Lynn Robertson says McKissick is a good investment for the university. “When you look at the budget of the university, ours is a very small budget, considering that, for every dollar we spend, we bring in 50 cents,” she said. “We give the university a national reputation. There are a lot of stu dents who come here because they know what we do.” Facing a possible close McKissick has 11 employees, including five curators. Jason Shaiman coordinates all of the traveling aspects of McKissick’s many exhibitions. With an office that rivals Robertson’s in its clutter, Shaiman’s has several Curious George artifacts on the shelves against the back wall. Above his desk sits a small laminated sign that reads simply, “Shalom y’all.” But the festive mood of Shaiman’s office has been spoiled by a dark cloud formed by the prospect of losing his job. “I think it’s in everyone’s mind,” he said. Shaiman was first exposed to McKissick when he was a USC student and gradually moved up the ranks from graduate assistant to his curator position. “We’re not just, in my mind, a museum that puts up pretty paintings and pictures and pot tery in a case; we teach people about the life and times of those artists, how they figure in to Southern communities, how they tie in a lot with the university,” he said. “You’ve got all of these board of trustees members con sidering closing McKissick down, but who’s going to take care of the paintings hanging above their desks?” Comments on this story?

Sumter Students worried . about safety issues CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “This is not an easy transi tion,” Coonrod said. “But one day, we’ll all be parking farther away and coming in on bus or shuttle.” Coonrod said the streetscape de velopment plan will eventually continue up Sumter to Pendleton Street and onto Greene and Bull streets. He said he wasn’t aware of immediate plans to add parking. For some students, opposing the elimination of on-street park ing isn’t just about convenience, but also safety. Kathy Moore, a fourth-year retailing student said, “USC says they need to focus on safety, but they keep eliminating parking. If they want to promote [safety], they do not need to eliminate central parking. I think safety is more important than the beauti fication of campus.” Immediate changes from this phase of the project include the closings of the entrance onto Sumter Street from Devine Street, the crosswalks between Longstreet Theatre and Longstreet Annex and portions of sidewalks on Sumter. Shuttlecock stops on Sumter will be rerouted to Main Street, and access to the residence halls and science complex will be lim ited from Sumter. Sumter Street will remain open to traffic, but Coonrod warns that construction will cause delays. Desai said he supported green space, but not at the expense of parking. “I’m all for beautification once I’m gone. But for now, I can deal Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com. Adams Search for Sixer's goal is to inspire CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 in the right direction to deal with human beings and not diseases, and I think he has made a big step for humans in general,” El-Ibiary said. Adams said his life is about more than just improving the qual ity of doctor-patient relationships. “It’s my life to inspire people. I like to see it as a river. I jumped into the river of love and fun and life as a celebration and a concern for the world, the river of hope,” Adams told The Washington Post. “Most people went for a swim in the river of hope and then dried off. I encourage them to put their trunks on and jump back in.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com. For Games Played During The Winter Break Dec. 7th 2001 THRU Jan. 14th 2002 jx 'ft.
