State House CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 by the number of legislators who would not agree to sign the pledge. “It makes me mad,” Bristow said. “Education should be apri ority of legislature. This should be going through right now, and the fact thaj it isn’t is ridiculous. Being from Georgia, I’ve seen how a college scholarship program works. I wish they would emulate what Georgia is doing.” Standing alongside Bristow was one of his opponents for the presi dential election, David Bomemann. He said he was encouraged that oth er candidates were concerned about government relationships, a key part of his “GAME plan.” He was also pleased to see other students at the State House showing their sup nnrf “Students at the University of South Carolina mean business. We’re willing to do what it takes to make our presence felt,” Bomemann said. John Scott, principal sponsor of the state-run lottery, was more than pleased to sign the pledge. He is trying to get his spending bill passed by the Legislature. “Every child who wants to go to college should go to college,” Scott said. “My number-one priority is scholarships for students.” James M."Neal is a member of the House of Representatives and a former high school principal. After working with high school students as they prepared for col lege, he knows how important scholarships are. “I’m for scholarships, but I don’t know about this date,” Neal said. He is concerned that the money would not be available to pass sUch a bill before March 28. Liston Barfield signed the pledge because he feels it is important for the money from the lottery to go to education. Like Neal, he is doubt ful about the March 28 date. “I don’t think the money will be available before fall,” Barfield said. “It takes a lot to put some thing like that in place.” Chrissy Stauffer, a College of Liberal Arts senator and acade mics chair, was part of the South Carolina Lottery Commission for Better Schools. “I think what students need to do if they want to go to college for free is start calling the Legislature,” Stauffer said. “It’s real simple and takes only a few minutes.” Becky Floyd, another candidate for treasurer, came to the assem bly for a few minutes. Zachary Scott, a College of Liberal Arts senator, explained that Floyd has chosen to go di rectly to the Senate to discuss the lottery spending plan instead of taking a more “in-your-face” ap proach. Scott says he is happy to see Floyd and Beeks doing what they can to speed the passage of a plan. “I’m glad we’re taking on both sides. We’re working together,’ Scott said.
