The plan allows states to extend health insurance to fetuses — or even embryos — from the moment of conception by enrolling them in the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. Because CHIP is aimed at chil dren, it doesn’t typically cover par ents or pregnant women, though states can get permission to in clude adults if they ask for it. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said the goal was to quickly get more women prenatal health care, which greatly increases the chances of delivering a healthy baby. “How anybody can now turn this into a pro-choice or pro-life ar gument, I can’t understand it,” Thompson said. Activists on both sides ot the is sue did just that. “This will strengthen the right to-life philosophy,” said Lou Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition, who was attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, where Thompson announced the plan. “It is significant when a multibillion dollar department takes this posi tion.” Abortion rights supporters agreed, saying the change could help lay legal groundwork estab lishing the rights of a fetus and therefore outlawing abortion. “It undermines the whole premise of Roe v. Wade by giving legal status to a fetus from the mo ment of conception,” said Marcia Greenberger of the National Women’s Law Center. She and others compared it to the legislation supported by the White House making it a federal crime to harm a fetus during an assault on its mother. “There’s a pattern here to es tablish fetal personhood,” said Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women. “At the point you establish a fetus is a person under the law, then even first-trimester abortion be comes murder, and the Bush ad ministration knows that.” Thompson, who opposes abor tion, said his only goal is to “help the poor mothers be able to take care of their unborn children.” States can cover pregnant women under their programs, though they need to get a waiver from the federal government. At least two states - New Jersey and Rhode Island — have waivers to cover them. Thompson say these waivers are an excellent way of expanding health coverage to people without insur ance, and he says he has shortened die time it takes for his department to approve state applications. Professor to head business journal BY LOGAN BARLOW THE HAMECOCK Daniel C. Feldman, a manage ment professor in the Moore School of Business, has been named editor-elect of the Journal of Management, one of the in dustry’s most respected publica tions. Right now, Feldman is work ing part time on his duties at the publication, and he will take over full time in July. The journal will be housed at USC during Feldman’s term as editor. Feldman wants to make the articles in the journal “more rel evant to practicing managers” by using clearer language and less jargon. He also wants to in corporate more articles that have “broad appeal, rather than ones that appeal to specific in terests.” Feldman is currently serving as associate editor for Human Resource Management and con sulting editor for the Journal of Organizational Behavior. He has a new book, “Work Careers: A Developmental Perspective,” which is slated to come out sometime this year. Nominations for editor of the Journal of Management were first taken in January 2001. The Feldman nominees were then contacted and given the op portunity to fill out an applica tion for the position. The Southern Management Association voted for Feldman after carefully reviewing the ap plications and notified him in early November. Michele Kacmar is the cur rent editor of the Journal of Management and a professor at Florida State University. When asked to describe the duties that come with the position of editor elect, Kacmar said Feldman would be “an apprentice for the first year, to learn the processes and procedures that are in volved in becoming an editor. He’s also developing his Web site for the journal, his vision for the journal, and the processing sys tem that he plans to put in place.” The Journal of Management was founded in 1975 by the Southern Management Association. It “spans the whole field of management, from the macro side to the micro side, in ternational issues, gender issues, anything that would have to do with management and how man agement works,” Kacmar said. Feldman graduated first in his class from the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his bachelor’s degree in social sciences and business adminis tration. He then studied at Yale University and received his mas ter’s degree in administrative sci ences and his doctorate in orga nizational behavior. Feldman is currently teaching an Honors College section of Principles of Management, as well as graduate courses in Organizational Behavior and Managing Careers.

Montgomery said that Team Gamecocks also collected dona tions at a football game this year, volunteered at Habitat for Humanity, and helped make emergency food baskets. The participants did not have a specific dollar amount to raise for the Souper Bowl, but they were just hoping to help the com munity and to do their best. Mission Chair Eric Arner said, “It really doesn’t matter (what we make); we raised about $1,300 last year. That would be nice, but it just really doesn’t matter.” Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com SG CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 corporated into the College of Liberal Arts. Sen. Tyler Odom, who cospon sored the resolution, said the move would hurt criminal jus tice students. "A lot of classes would be tak en out that are necessary to a criminal justice degree," Odom said. He and other sponsors said the move would also hurt the prestige of the college* ranked second out of the nation's 10 criminal justice colleges. Perhaps the most controver sial resolution during the meet ing was the Finance Committee's bill supporting the gradual pri vatization of the university press. Supporters of the measure said it would allow the universi ty to save money while not se verely hurting the press, which makes 78 percent of its own bud get. They said the press should he more aggressive in its mar keting strategy. "We're broke,” Sen. Zack Scott said "We need to start cutting pennies." But Sen. Joey Opperman said making the press a profit orga nization might make the press less interested in printing books that might not do well commer cially, such as those that provide service to the state. He said that idea went against the purpose of the press. "It's not about making mon ey," Opperman said. Sen. Chrissy Stauffer said the move would hurt USC professors who are trying to get published, potentially damaging the uni versity's drive to be invited into the Association of American Universities. "While that might not seem like a big deal to us ... that does hurt the academic prestige of the university," Stauffer said. The resolution passed on a voice vote. After the meeting, Opperman said he was disappointed. "I think this is the worst thing that senate's passed all year," he said. Opperman added, "I think this is something that the senate did n't think through very much." The senate also threw its sup port behind the SDI report's rec ommendation that the Visitor's Center move to McKissick Museum and that some of the space in the museum be used to house offices currently in McKissick. Another resolution called for employees who work 37.5 hours but get paid for 40 hours to work all 40, but senators, hesitant to vote without knowing why the employees were paid for hours they didn’t work, decided to table the bill until they found out why. The senate also agreed to con sider a bill next week that would change the SG Constitution. The changes are intended to bring Carolina Student Judicial Council closer to SG, the spon sors said. An amendment to the execu tive codes would insert the re sponsibilities of the Attorney General into those codes.
