New rule limits visiting
marching bands’ tunes
BY LAURA MOSS
THE GAMECOCK
A new restriction created by
the Southeastern Conference lim
its the number of tunes that the
marching bands of visiting teams
will be allowed to play at football
games.
The SEC regulation allows a
visiting band to play two pieces of
music at the conclusion of the
games and suggests limiting those
selections to the team’s fight song
and alma mater.
“I think .this policy is intended
to promote good sportsmanship,”
said David O’Shields, USC associ
ate director of bands. “Since the
visiting team is on the road, they
don’t want the fans to remain at
the stadium, and there have been
instances of pep rallies getting out
of hand.”
According , -to the
Sportsmanship and Fan Behavior
Summit Report released by the
NCAA on Sept. 16, inappropriate
behavior at college sporting
events is becoming an increasing
problem. The summit, which in
cluded members of the SEC, took
place in February in response to
incidents that resulted in violence
among fans and the destruction of
property.
O’Shields said USC hasn’t ex
perienced any such incidents and
that after Saturday’s game against
Tennessee, the band won’t be af
fected too much. “This may have
had an effect had we won the game
this weekend and wanted to play
afterward,” he said.
First-year chemical engineer
ing student and marching band
member Tim Davis was told of the
change in policy just before the
band traveled to the Georgia
game. He said he’s upset over the
new regulation.
“I think the band and the fans
will be disappointed. We like to
swap songs with the other bands,
and there are always fans that
stay to hear us play. It gives us
more to do than just sit there,” he
said.
Third-year psychology student
Lindsey Cencula thinks the band
contributes to the atmosphere of
the game and is disappointed with
the changes.
“I understand that maybe stu
dents wouldn’t want to hear an
other team’s songs at their stadi
um, but if the team wins, I think
they should be allowed to cele
brate that,” she said.

our crown for national recogni
tion for projects like this,” Moore
said about the Calhoun Papers.
“The volumes have always been
well respected in quality.”
Moore worked as an associate
editor for volumes 23 through 27
and says working on the project
helped propel him to other schol
arly historic research. He is the
author of The History of Beaufort
County, South Carolina: Volume
1,1514-1861.
Wilson said the most difficult
research involved tracking down
Calhoun’s works in private col
lections and deciphering dam
aged documents and illegible
handwriting.
Since the first volume was pub
lished, historians from Ivy League
schools, Canada, Holland, Japan
and Ireland have visited USC to
study the findings in Calhoun’s
documents.
One state official from the for
mer Yugoslavia inquired in the
late 1990s about Calhoun’s politi
cal theories about the emergence
of sectionalism within a unified
nation and its possible causes and
consequences.
Calhoun retains recognition
to this day. He has buildings,
streets, monuments and counties
in South Carolina and Florida
named after him. Wilson said
there is much about him that
most people don’t know.
He lived much of his life on a
plantation called Fort Hill,
where Clemson University now
sits. He urged Congress to de
clare war against Britain in
1812 and was the lone senator
opposed to the Mexican War,
saying that President James K.
Polk was not within his execu
tive constitutional powers
when he sent American troops
to war.
Overall, Wilson said he feels
like he has come to kn<r
Calhoun as a member of 1.
family.
“I’ve spent almost every day
with him for over 30 years,” he
said. “With that kind of a con
nection, you’ve either got to love
him, or you’ve got to hate him.
I’ve enjoyed our time together.”
“USC Press has always been
proud of its association with this
project,” Moore said.

FBI begins investigation after CIA leak
BY TERENCE HUNT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The FBI began
a full-scale criminal investigation
Tuesday into whether White
House officials illegally leaked the
identity of an undercover CIA of
ficer, and President Bush ordered
his staff to cooperate with the first
major probe of his administration.
Democrats demanded the ap
pointment of a special outside
counsel but Bush resisted. “I’m
absolutely confident that the
Justice Department can do a good
job,” he said on a re-election fund
raising stop in Chicago.
Democratic leaders said
Attorney General John Ashcroft
was too close to the White House
to conduct an impartial investi
gation.
With pressure building, the
Justice Department alerted the
White House late Monday of the
decision to move from a prelimi
nary inquiry into a full investi
gation, a step rarely taken with
complaints involving leaks of
classified information.
The investigation is aimed at
finding who leaked the name of the
CIA operative, possibly in an at
tempt to punish the officer’s hus
band, who had accused the admin
istration of manipulating intelli
gence to exaggerate the threat from
Iraq.
Although Bush said he wel
comed the investigation, it was
an embarrassing development for
a president who promised to
bring integrity and leadership to
the White House after years of
Republican criticism of the
Clinton administration.
While the administration ap
peared cool toward naming a spe
cial counsel, Ashcroft has not
ruled out that possibility, a senior
law enforcement official said.
That decision will depend on a
. number of factors, such as
whether a suspect is identified
who presents a potential conflict
for the Justice Department. For
now, the investigation is being
done by FBI agents in the coun
terintelligence division.

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman speaks to a near
capacity crowd at the Koger Center Tuesday night.
Pulitzer winner
speaks at USC
BY KEVIN FELLNER
TilK (1AMMOCK
Pulitzer Prize-winning jour
nalist and author Thomas
Friedman talked about the Iraqi
war, his reflections on Sept. 11,
2001, and current relations among
Middle East countries while de
livering the Solomon-Tenenbaum
Lecture to a near-capacity crowd
at the Roger Center on Tuesday
night.
The New York Times Foreign
Affairs Columnist talked about
Islamic fundamentalist terrorism,
pioneered by such leaders as
Osama Bin Laden, as the third
global effort for totalitarianism in
the modern era, only succeeding
Nazi Germany and the rise of
Soviet Communism.
“To me, the most disturbing fact
about 9-11 was how many people in
the Arab-Muslim world supported
it, accepted it and quietly celebrat
ed it,” he said during a panel dis
cussion moderated by College of
Mass Communications and
Information Studies Dean Charles
Bierbauer earlier in the day.
A commentator on Middle East
1UI niaiijf yecus,
Friedman initially supported the
war with Iraq because he said a
regime change was needed. But he
said that the Bush administra
tion’s postwar policy has lacked a
commitment to the rebuilding of
the nation. “This is going to be the
mother of all long hauls,” he said.
“This is not a sprint; this is not
Bosnia; this is not Kosovo; this is a
marathon.”
Friedman said he thinks it is
wrong for the United States to
have any long-term occupation
with Iraq without having an al
liance of nations supporting the
cause of rebuilding and without
also studying the regimes in Syria
and Iran. He argued that the
Middle East was the most auto
cratic and most constrained re
gion in the world due to its na
tions’ regimes. He pointed out that
not one of the 22 nations compris
ing the Arab League has leaders
elected by the people. He said that
sort of political ideology has led to
serious violations of human
rights, widespread poverty and
disorganized industries.
Friedman said a more impor
tant conflict than the physical war
is the war of ideas that needs to
continue in order to find compre
hensive diplomatic solutions
among nations and especially be
tween Israel and Palestine. He said
an important way of embracing
the war of ideas is to listen to other
nations. Even though he said the
physical war might turn out hi*
torically to be a great failure,.
said he would rather have the na
tion go down preserving the dig
nity of Arab citizens than allow
ing nothing to happen at all.
“Before the war, I said this is
the most audacious project ever,”
Friedman said, adding that the
strategy for the war itself should
be just as audacious. The reper
cussions of this war will dictate
how the United States is viewed
by the rest of the world for many
generations to come, he said.
Friedman has served as Beirut
bureau chief, Israel bureau chief,
chief diplomatic correspondent,
chief White House correspondent
and international economic cor
respondent for the New Yo
Timps Hp ininpH thp ctafF in Ma .
1981.
Friedman won the Pulitzer Prize
in 1988 and 1993 for International
Reporting, first for his coverage of
Israel and then of Lebanon. He has
published three best-selling books,
the most recent of which,
“Longitudes and Attitudes,” is a col
lection of his columns exploring re
ligion and international relations
after Sept. 11,2001. In 2002, he won
the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished
Commentary.
Provost Jerry Odom said after
the lecture that students could
learn from Friedman how to ana
lyze political and social affairs that
can be seen from many different an
gles. “I thought he really presented
a very balanced view of what is a
very complex issue,” Odom sai'1
about Friedman’s take on Mid<
East relations. He said he hopes
USC can bring more distinguished
orators to campus by finding more
donors to sponsor lectureships.
The Solomon-Tenenbaum
Leadership in Jewish Studies is
presented annually at USC and is
endowed by Samuel and Inez
Tenenbaum, the latter of which is
South Carolina superintendent of
education and a U.S. Senate
candidate.

Calhoun
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
through the antebellum era.
Wilson determined that the pub
lished version of “Discourse” is
an unfinished draft and that
Calhoun died before he could
completely edit it. Both works are
some of the earliest writings by a
southerner on American politics
in the 19th century.
“He was a great commentator
on the way the United States was
developing over the course of his
political career,” Wilson said.
The project, partially spon
sored by the National Historical
Publications and Records
Commission, is one of only 40 like
it in the nation. USC is only one
of three schools in the nation to
have two such projects running
simultaneously. The other project
is the Papers of Henry Laurens.
USC Press has been publish
ing volumes since 1959.
Acquisitions editor Alexander
Moore said volumes usually sell
about 1,000 copies. He said many
historians buy them for their in
dividual private collections.
