Student club to hold first photography sale By KRISTI LAUBE THE GAMECOCK \ The USC photography club will participate in its first art sale this week. The sale will be in McMaster 213 on Thursday and Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. The photography sale will be held in conjunction with the ceramics and sculpture sale, as well as the printmaking sale. The sale will include work from photography students and photography club members. Photography club founders and photography students will run the sale. The photography club will receive 40 percent of the profit from each piece sold; the artist will receive the rest. Proceeds will be used to bring in speakers and visiting artists for the photography club. “The photo club was just formed this semester. It was founded by a group of highly energetic students who are excited about photography,” said Kathleen Robbins, a USC photography professor. This semester, the photo club has had local artists come in and discuss their work. Professor Dan Strieble screened film footage for his archive. Meetings for the photography club are held twice a month on Tuesday evenings. The ceramics and sculpture and printmaking sales will also be held Thursday and Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. The ceramics sale will be held in McMaster Gallery. The printmaking sale will be in the printmaking studio. The sales have been successful in the past. The three sales — printmaking, photography, and ceramics and sculpture — are all connected. All three sales are open to the public. Students are encouraged to attend the sales.

The Russell House Ballroom is equipped to process 60 donors at a time, and more than 100 nurses will be on hand. “We’ve really done a lot to decrease waiting times and stuff like that,” Human said. The group will also be holding a kickoff concert on Greene Street on Monday at 11 a.m., featuring a variety of entertainments. “We had a kickoff concert last year, but this one will be much bigger,” Human said. “.08 will be playing, and they’re gonna be out there from 11 to 2, and we’re having popcorn and face painting, and balloons and cool stuff like been sent out. “We’re sort success of the < said.

Tests found no abnormalities, an aide said, and Cheney left after three hours. “I feel fine,” the 63-year-old vice president said as he walked out with his wife, Lynne. Cheney smiled and waved people gathered outside the hospital entrance. “Sorry we ruined your Saturday,” Mrs. Cheney told reporters. “We’re great, thank you.” A pacemaker implanted in Cheney’s chest three years ago indicated no irregularities during the past 90 days, said Mary Matalin, a spokeswoman for the vioe • president. The device gives doctors a three month readout. She said an electrocardiogram, which measures the heart’s electrical activity, showed no change. His cardiologist, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, said he suspects the vice president has a respiratory infection. “The vice president! complaining of a productive cough and shortness of breath, was evaluated at George Washington Medical Center today,” Reiner said in a statement issued by the White House. “Tests ruled out any cardiac cause of the vice president’s symptoms. Tests also ruled out pneumonia and other pulmonary causes. The vice president likely has a viral, upper respiratory infection.” Cheney, who has had four heart attacks, although none as vice president, returned Thursday night from a pheasant hunting trip in South Dakota with a cold that left him short of breath, Matalin said. The vice president, who joined President Bush on Friday for meetings with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, felt fine otherwise, but his cardiologist recommended as a precaution that he go to the hospital for tests. “Everything looks great,” Matalin said before Cheney was released. “He’s walking around from room to room in his street clothes just waiting for the IVinilULL unLUL- OL11L I ru MIL noouuin IUL/ I I1LOJ Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne Cheney leave George Washington University Hospital last Saturday in Washington. Cheney had experienced shortness of breath. blood work.” She said Cheney was driven in a motorcade from his residence a few miles from the hospital and walked in under his own power. The president was notified by his chief of staff, Andy Card, shortly after Bush returned from a bike ride Saturday at a Secret Service training facility outside Washington, White House spokesman Ken Lisaius said. In June 2001, Cheney had a pacemaker implanted in his chest. At his annual heart checkup on May 11, doctors determined the pacemaker, called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, was working fine and had never needed to assist his heart. The device is designed to activate automatically if needed to regulate the patient’s heartbeat. Ahead of the fell presidential campaign, Cheney dismissed speculation that his health might keep him from running again with Bush. He said his health had been good and he could not think of any circumstances that would prompt him to decline the role. He kept up a heavy travel schedule during Bush’s re-election campaign, often traveling with his wife. His first heart attack occurred in 1978, when he was 37. He had a second in 1984, and after suffering his third heart attack, in 1988, Cheney had quadruple bypass surgery to clear clogged arteries. On Nov. 22, 2000, Cheney suffered what doctors called a “very slight” heart attack and had an angioplasty to open a clogged artery.
