PHOTO BY ROBERT GRUEN/THE GAMECOCK Carolina Styles owner and stylist Wanda Davis gives advice and a haircut to patron David Przekupowski. Mall CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 When asked how the contract could be ended early, she could only shrug. “There's a clause.” John Ogle, Assistant Director for Operations in the Russell House, says that the clause in question is a legal provision that USC uses com monly. “In these vendors' contracts...there is a clause. With 30 days' notice, [the university] is al lowed to terminate the contract,” Ogle said. The changes were due to take place because the food selections in the Russell House required more room. “What Sodexho’s going to put into this will make [USC] one of the pre mier account institutions in the country,” Ogle said. “There wasn't adequate space... There wasn't suf ficient seating space. That was one of the biggest issues.” Although Carolina Styles catered primarily to students, Davis says that her clientele included many fac ulty members as well, and that many of her regulars continued to come see her after they graduated. Tonya Berry is one such example. “I started coming here in 1992 when I started grad school. I've since left Carolina, but I'm still a regular client,” Berry said. “If it’s a student living on cam pus who doesn't have transportation to go find another hair salon, it's re ally inconvenient,” Berry said. Recent graduate Joel Nesbitt also still comes to Carolina Styles. He no tices that many other customers also remain loyal to Davis after their time at USC are over. “There's a lot of people who leave or graduate but still come because they still live in the community,” Nesbitt said. Davis is passing around a petition to allow her to stay at USC. Students wishing to sign the petition can visit Carolina Styles on the first floor of the Russell House near the entrance clos est to the bookstore. The main loss, though, might not be the loss of a service, but the ab sence of familiar faces and friends to many students. Nesbitt said that he came to Carolina Styles because of the social ties as well. “It's not just a place to get your hair done.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com l ... Racial plot CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Bunker Hill Bridge, named after the late Jewish leader. “The agents discovered a verita ble menu of how-to for the terrorist,” Merritt said. Chase has told investigators that they were gathering material to det onate a bomb on a beach for “enter tainment.” She said they did not in tend to bomb a target or hurt any one. Authorities also found a comic strip-like sketch starring a white supremacist who bombs African American housing projects and Jewish landmarks. Merritt called this “Felton’s script for his terrorist plans.” Felton’s at torney called them “just drawings.” Among the first witnesses was Kathy McGaffigan, a close friend of Chase, who testified about a phone call she got from Chase after the cou ple’s arrest on the counterfeiting charge. McGaffigan, a 22-year-old Harvard University student, said Chase asked her to go to the couple’s apartment and remove counterfeit bills, a gun, ammunition, a wiring and timing de vice and a 50-pound bag of ammoni um nitrate. McGaffigan said she put most of the items in the trash, but kept the gun, ammunition and a box of let ters at Chase’s request. She also re called that when she met Felton with Chase last year, they told her they were “planning a bomb.” Felton, the son of a white mother and a black father, became involved in white supremacist groups while in a New Jersey prison, where he served time for attempted murder in the beating of a black taxi driver. Chase began writing to Felton in prison in April 2000. Chase’s attorney, Timothy Watkins, said she was a pawn for Felton. “Leo Felton exercised his power over Erica Chase to have her do—to persuade her to do — the things that he wanted,” Watkins said.
