STATE Donations, cost cuts keep mansion open COLUMBIA (AP) - The Governor’s Mansion will stay open this year, thanks to cost cutting and $100,000 in private donations, Gov. Mark Sanford says. Last week he said the man sion might close because its bud get had been nearly exhausted. The Sanfords have reduced some full-time positions to part time slots. They also having more official guests for break fast, which is cheaper than din . ner and drinks. Sanford said he and his wife Jenny have appreciated gifts ranging from $10 checks from re tirees, to grits for the rest of the year from the Adluh Flour Co., to $5,000 gifts from businesses. The governor said he was glad he didn’t have to make “a choice I didn’t want to make.” Sanford had considered clos ing public areas of the mansion through June 30, the end of the fiscal year. The Republican governor said his predecessor, Democrat Jim Hodges, spent almost all the money allocated for personnel, food and supplies. Medical University changes burn policy I • # CHARLESTON (AP) - The Medical University of South Carolina says it will treat all but the most critically injured burn patients. MUSC closed the state’s only bum unit last summer. School officials said Monday bum patients will be treated in the hospital’s trauma center. The move is aimed at calming critics who say South Carolina lacks a full burn unit, meaning badly burned patients must be transferred to Augusta, Ga. MUSC’s plan won a key en dorsement from Rep. John Graham Altman, R-Charleston, who had been pressing the uni versity to reopen the 10-bed bum unit. •w NATION Bush not fazed by global protests WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush declared Tuesday that he wouldn’t be de terred by global protests against war with Iraq, saying “I re spectfully disagree” with those who doubt that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace. He said such a war remains a final resort, but “the risk of do ing nothing is even a worse op tion as far as I’m concerned.” Amid heavy opposition at the United Nations and protests around the world, the Bush ad ministration faced a decision whether to push ahead with Britain for a new Security Council resolution to support war to disarm Iraq. Senior Bush advisers are considering whether it was worth risking defeat in the council and how to phrase a new resolution in a bid for sup port, a U.S. official said. Bush said that the size of the protests against a possible U.S. led war against Iraq was irrele vant. Board to hear ideas about shuttle crash SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON (AP) — The board investigating the Columbia disaster will hold a public hearing next week to listen to non-NASA experts who have theories about why the shuttle disintegrated over Texas, the panel’s chairman said Tuesday. The hearing will be held Feb. 27, said retired Navy Adm. Harold Gehman, who is leading the board. The location has not been decided. “We will invite experts who are not associated with any U.S. government program who have theories or hypotheses, who have written to us or provided research documents, to express to us their opinions,” Gehman said. “That way we get input... not by any government agen cy.” WORLD U.S., Britain press for Iraq disarmament - * UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Despite stiff opposition in the Security Council, the United States and Britain still plan to press ahead this week with a new resolution seeking authorization to use military force to disarm Iraq, diplomats from the two al lies said. U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte and British Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock met Monday afternoon to discuss the content and timing of a sec ond resolution, which diplomats say will likely be circulated late Wednesday after a two-day open debate on Iraq in the Security Council. “We are working with our friends and allies to see if we can get a second resolution,” President Bush said Tuesday in Washington, though he reiterated that Washington already has the au thority it needs to act militarily. The United States and Britain face an uphill struggle after last Friday’s modestly upbeat reports from top weapons inspectors and calls from the majority of coun cil members led by France for in spections to continue. 120 die in S.
