Women becoming a force in state politics BY ROBERT TANNER THE ASSOCIATED PIIESS At least 18 women from the ma jor parties are running for gover nor this year — many of them ex perienced candidates with a real chance to become one of a record number of female governors. The strong showing follows big strides for women in state-level pol itics in recent years and comes in a year with a large number of open gubernatorial seats. “We’ve come of age,” said New Hampshire Sen. Bev Hollingworth, a candidate for the Democratic nomination and a longtime leg islative leader. Still, the governor’s office is elu sive to women, with only five serv ing as state chief executives. Three aren’t seeking re-election. “Everyone’s raised with certain images of women. It takes a long time to rewrite the script,” said Michigan Attorney General Jennifer Granholm, who defeated two well-known male politicians for the state’s Democratic nomination. This year, women have won major-party nominations in Arkansas, Kansas and Michigan, and strong candidates are running in Alaska, Arizona, Maryland and more. In Hawaii, both parties’ front-runners are women. Two candidates already have na tional names — Janet Reno, seek ing the Democratic nomination to challenge Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Maryland’s lieutenant governor. “It’s the emerging of women as executive leaders,” said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster work ing on campaigns in Alaska and Arizona. Advocates hope to see the num ber of women governors rise to as many as 10 in this year’s election. “It’s important to remember that for all of these women, it didn’t happen in a year,” said Deborah Walsh, director of the Center for the American Woman and Politics at Rutgers University. But Walsh says there is still a long way to go. Besides Lingle, all the candi dates with the best chance to win are Democrats. So far, six GOP candidates have lost bids for their party’s nomination. Mold CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 It’s impossible to completely eliminate mold from an indoor environment, but moisture con trol, along with certain cleanup methods, helps minimize the damage. Cleanup must involve a high efficiency particulate air vacuum, which won’t damage the books by using water or scrubbing. This summer, mold also was spotted in the Russell House, where a similar humidity prob lem caused the carpet in the Student Media area to “smell like a basement,” said.Ellen Parsons, director of Student Media. School officials are sticking to EPA cleaning guidelines, and have ordered a HEP A vacuum, but it could be slow to arrive be cause budget cuts have limited the school’s funds for new equipment. Maintenance has fixed the humidity problem in the Russell House, and has begun steam cleaning, the first step in remedial cleaning, Parsons said. She said the carpeting might have to be removed. Though the library and the Russell House are the only buildings with reported mold infestation, more sightings are likely because humidity prob lems are common in many of the old buildings on campus, Parsons said. According to Taylor, this in festation has been around for three years. “It’s like the*squirrels,” said Chad Shelton, who works in the library’s circulation depart ment. “No matter what we do, it just keeps coming back.” . Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk(aihotmail.com Iraq CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Republicans, which broke into the open in recent weeks from law-, makers including Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Rep. Dick Armey of Texas, the House majority leader. The Bush administration’s pol icy is that Saddam is trying to de velop weapons of mass destruction and is refusing to allow interna tional inspectors to find and de stroy them, as Iraq agreed to do af- * ter the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Rep. Tom DeLay, the heir ap parent to Armey in the House, who has urged military action, “the sooner, the better,” said Sunday the decision to act is the comman der in chiefs, but he expects Bush to consult with Congress first. “The president says he’s going to consult with the Congress, and he has. The president has taken the advice of many of us in Congress; he wants input from Congress,” DeLay, R-Texas, said on “Fox News Sunday.” DeLay, in his speech last week, urged quick, pre-emptive action against Saddam and said those advocating a go-slow approach were appeasers. _ ^ FOOTBALL , : ' ' " . . ■ Student Ticket Distribution ■* Season starts early, so get yourself ready Student Distribution Schedule New Mexico State Aug. 26,27,28 f Georgia Sept. 3,4,9,10,11,12 \ Temple Sept. 3,4,9,10,11 \ Mississippi State Sept. 23,24,25,30, \ Oct. 1,2 \ Arkansas Oct. 21,22,23,28,29,30 \ Tennessee Oct. 21,22,23,28,29,30 / Block Seating Schedule j .—' | Georgia & Temple Sept. 3,4,9,10 l" 5tcPPEiM«LE«XT— Mississippi State Sept. 23,24,25,30,0ct.1 ; 9BU B 2 Arkansas & Tennessee Oct. 21,22, 23, 28,29 i inpT m iwa oAti #b.t m ^ Students must have your 1.0.
