Marines might join

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

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?”

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 gone. But for now, I can deal

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.”
