The march of USC’s first three black students since 1868 sym bolized USC’s “outreach to oth ers —the defining purpose of our university,” Sorensen said. Ali Sayed, president of the Muslim Student Association, said Islam, too, hoped for a more unified world. “The World Trade Center was a society of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and many oth er religions,” he said. Sayed quoted the Koran 5:32: “Whoever kills one human being, it is as if he has killed all of mankind.” Patel spoke of history. Admitting he had trouble col lecting his thoughts on the at tacks, he told of his past instead. His parents “worked long hours” to give him a taste of “freedom they never experi enced.” Warning the crowd nev er to forget the trials of a nation’s heroes, Patel apologized for the branding of his generation as “Generation X,” and said they have failed “to carry on the his tory” their parents passed on. Cooper William, a third-year business administration student, said Patel’ remarks “captured the spirit” that, after “only one year, we all still have.” Patel closed by saying he had confidence that “it is hope that shall pave our way. ” After the afternoon fanfare, speeches and a dramatic reading from Professor Dianne Johnson, everyone quieted to hear the Carolina Carillon ring from Rutledge chapel. Bells rang into only silence, but as the national anthem played, many spontaneously sang along with vocalist Serena Hill. After the anthem, all stopd in anticipation for the last song, but the quintet didn’t move. - Instead, a lonely trumpeter played taps from the other side of the Horseshoe. Sorensen planned the gather ing after reflecting in anticipa tion of Sept. 11. Thinking that USC needed to do something, he discussed the particulars at a staff meeting. His plans resonated with Marisa Marionakis, a fourth year advertising student, who lost family in the attacks — Michael C. Fiore, of the New York Fire Department. “I wish I was in New York now, to put his picture and a flower in the ruins,” she said.

Carson Bacon of the College of Liberal Arts said she thinks candidates will al ready be known across cam pus from other activities they might be involved in and that money should not make a dif ference. “If you are a knockdown candidate, people will know who you are,” Bacon said. “If you’re awesome, you’re awe some — no matter how much money you spend.” Sen. Zachery Scott of the College of Liberal Arts said he is afraid that the new spending limits will lower already dis mal student voter turnout. He said that, when candidates spend more money, campaigns become more visible and vot ers become more aware. -. “We have to fight tooth and nail to get the attention of our student body,” Scott said. “Campaigns are expensive; it's just what you have to do.” USC is now one of many schools nationally to imple ment such a plan. According to Shipman, schools such as Duke University have limits as low as $10 for an executive race. “The University of Tennessee has the exact same spending limits as ours,” Shipman said. “The student body won out today,” Bristow said. “It is about time that the Student Senate represented the stu dents’ interests instead of the special interests. And that is exactly what happened today.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com ——-, ^ Welcome Back!
