Teach-in CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 came to speak their piece. Adam Felde, a first-year criminal jus tice student and Marine NRTC member, said that America “def initely needs to go to war in Iraq.” “I think this protest is fine, and they have a right to do it,” Felde said. “It’s only been a year since September 11, and I don’t know how people can forget that so quickly. Saddam Hussein backs terrorism and has weapons of mass destruction. Not going to war is too much of a risk to take.” First-year business student Adam Piper said he thought the protest was in many ways a joke. “Some people out here are protesting for the sake of protesting,” he said. “We need to go into Iraq not only for America, but also to ensure that those people will be better off in the future. ” Tensions between the two ma jor political parties cropped up several times during the prptest. Oppermann said partisanship “is affecting the course of the policy in this situation.” Some speakers said war with Iraq is not justified, while some think Saddam is a threat and not going to war is too much of a risk. But both Catanese and Piper disagreed. “This really isn’t partisan at all,” Catanese said. “People just need to think about it.” Piper said the military should never be a partisan issue because it serves to protect all Americans, regard less of political affiliation. At the teach-in, both Oppermann and Catanese sym pathized with the Democrats, while Felde described himself as a “hardcore” Republican. Piper is the volunteer coordina tor for Student Republicans at use. The teach-in also raised deep er questions about America’s changing international image. Fabio Tizzoni, a third-year man agement science student on ex change from Italy, provided a global perspective; Tizzoni said that, although a war might boost the American economy and en courage a sense of security, it could hinder relations with oth er European countries. “Basically, U.S. actions are making the U.S. increasingly un popular in the world,” Tizzoni said.

The buildings would have to fit in with its surround ings and not stick out.” The houses have kept a tradi tional style anyway to retain the Greek-like feel, according to Director of Greek Life Gena Runnion. The buildings being con structed near the intersection of Blossom and Assembly streets, including the new Carolina Arena and the Strom Thurmond Fitness and Wellness Center, ■■■■■ ■ are in the central business dis trict, not a historical district. “Buildings in the central busi ness district must have good quality design in the urban de velopment,” said Hampton. “We see buildings moving closer to the main roads and other little stipulations like that in this dis trict.” The source of confusion was in the wording. According to Hampton, all land in Columbia is historical, but the land leased by the Greek organizations for the new village is not in a his torical district. “I don’t think it is in the his torical district because of the other buildings around the area,” says Meggan Robinson,, president of Alpha Chi Omega. The area around the Blossom Street bridge has been vacant for the past few years, but the Greek village, Carolina Arena, and the Fitness and Wellness Center will soon change that. “That area has built up tremendously,” says Hamilton. “It’s amazing. There are all sorts of construction.” Four houses in the Greek vil lage, intended for the Greek or ganizations Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Tau Alpha are complete. An open house to showcase these four finished houses is set for Oct. 24 from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. The Carolina community, Greek and non-Greek, are invit ed. The students, faculty and staff will tour the common areas on the first floor of each house. Students are currently residing upstairs. The other Greek Houses start construction in the next 30 days and will be ready for Greek stu dents in Fall 2003.
