ShotSpotter system
yields first arrests
NORTH CHARLESTON (AP) -
Two days after police began
testing a system that can pin
point gunshots, the technology
yielded its first arrests, author
ities say.
The ShotSpotter system led
officers to two men firing shots
from a stolen pistol Thursday
evening, police said.
Police arrived just three
minutes after the shots were
fired, authorities said. The gun
had been stolen about 15 min
utes before, police said.
Officers found a pistol in the
waistband of one man’s pants.
He and another man had gun
shot residue on their hands, ac
cording to a police report.
The men reportedly were fir
ing the gun into the air in the
crowded neighborhood, Sgt.
Joe Stephens said.
Ryan Nelson of Mount
Pleasant and Andy Gethers of
North Charleston, both 21,
were charged with unlawful
possession of a firearm, dis
charging a firearm within city
limits, disorderly conduct,
drinking in public and con
suming narcotics in public, po
lice said.
Teachers study up
to meet guidelines
COLUMBIA (AP) — New fed
eral guidelines that require
teachers to be “highly quali
fied” in their core subject areas
are sending some them back to
study the subjects they are
teaching.
A provision of the federal No
Child Left Behind law requires
teachers demonstrate compe
tency in their subject areas ei
ther by earning a college degree
in the field, passing a content
test or passing a classroom
evaluation by the end of the
2005-06 school year.
For teachers, failing a con
tent test, college course or class
room evaluation could mean
losing their jobs. That’s be
cause, to make up for a short
age of teachers, some have been
allowed to work without full
certification.
Several of the state’s strate
gies for filling teacher short
ages no longer will meet the fed
eral government’s standards
for teacher quality.
The biggest adjustment for
South Carolina will be the re
quirement that teachers be cer
tified in the subject they teach.
Now, teachers can be given
waivers to teach in other
fields, depending on a district’s
needs.

Roles reversed in
new draft debate
NEW YORK (AP) - During
the Vietnam War, presidents
and the Pentagon defended the
draft, while the peace move
ment assailed it. As America
edges toward a possible new
war, roles have reversed.
Backed by other opponents
of a war with Iraq, Rep. Charles
Rangel, D-N.Y., has proposed
that the draft be reinstated in
the name of “shared sacrifice.”
But the Pentagon insists that
today’s all-volunteer forces are
more efficient than conscripts.
Rangel’s proposal — though
unlikely to win passage — has
revived a dormant national de
bate about the concept of
mandatory national service.

Iraq expresses wish
to resolve search
BAGHDAD, IRAQ (AP)- Just
days before a crucial round of
talks with chief inspectors, a se
nior Iraqi official said Sunday
that Baghdad is “keen to re
solve any pending issues” in
the U.N. search for banned
weapons, but didn’t immedi
ately offer new concessions.
Maj. Gen. Hossam
Mohamed Amin indicated,
nevertheless, that Iraq might.
have compromise proposals on
hand for the talks next
Saturday and Sunday with
Hans Blix and Mohamed
ElBaradei.
“We shall do our best to
make his (Blix’s) visit success
ful,” Amin told reporters.
