Sanders’ rare bird takes
wing in Arkansas
So maybe the tall tale
that saved tens of thousands of acres of South Carolina swamp from the timber
barons wasn’t so tall after all.
Maybe Alex Sanders
— credited with the boldest ruse in modern South Carolina political
history — didn’t make it up when he swore up one side of the Santee Swamp
and down the other that he had heard the call of the ivory-billed woodpecker,
long believed extinct.
Sanders, 66, now teaches political science after a long
career as a circus performer, College of Charleston president, chief justice of
the state Court of Appeals and 2002 Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.

Raise
the bar (Letter to the Editor)
Now we have
to be really careful to rise above the instincts that binds us to the
lower-animal kingdom (like, say, chickens) and demonstrate the intelligence
that we are gifted with. The real trick will be not to fall under the illusion
that this is about one elderly man named John Graham Altman. The pull many are
feeling today is the drive to counterattack, to go to his house, agitate him
with noise, point your finger in his face and make him suffer for the
disparaging remarks he made about women, which were so poetically mirrored in
the way he spoke to the reporter.

Brazilian
martial art takes root in Charleston
"It was a mode of
empowerment for the former slaves who developed capoeira, and it's still a mode
of empowerment in Brazil today," says Dr. Maria Moreira, a native
Brazilian and associate professor of Portuguese at the College of Charleston.
"Brazilians are
proud to maintain this tradition, which became a national symbol of resistance.
Today, it is one of our most important cultural ties with our African roots and
it is played all over Brazil."
Besides being part
martial art, part dance and part sport, capoeira is a philosophy and a
"way of life," Moreira says.

Charleston area employers

Smoking will cost 25
percent of a lifespan -- an average loss of 22.5 years -- making a birthday

No
evidence that liberals in higher ed indoctrinate students (Editorial)
We don't
deny that most professors are liberal. But do we discriminate against
conservatives, as Thomas charges? Again, he offers no solid evidence, merely
the opinion of Thomas Reeves, a conservative fellow of the Wisconsin Policy
Research Institute. It's a big accusation to balance on such a flimsy
foundation. Speaking from our own experience on numerous hiring and promotion
committees, we can assure the public that at the College of Charleston, a
candidate's politics are never at issue in these decisions nor should they be.
The abundance of liberals in higher education can be explained by less sinister
reasons, such as self-selection, just as the abundance of Republicans among
business executives can be explained without inventing a right-wing conspiracy.

College develops master plan to guide development
Looking
strictly at recent construction, it would appear as if the College of
Charleston is preparing for major growth. Actually, it’s just catching up.
Much of
the campus’ facilities are equipped to handle only half its current student
population of more than 11,0000. The college’s goal is not to make room for
more students but simply to accommodate the students it has, explains Monica R.
Scott, vice president for facilities planning.
Scott and
college President Lee Higdon led a steering committee that worked with
Ayers/Saint/Gross, an architectural and planning firm from Baltimore, to create
a detailed 2004 campus master plan. The plan provides guidelines for facilities
design and landscaping as well as plans for parking and transportation and an
overall site plan.

THURSDAY'S SHOW
Today we broadcast live from the Physicians Auditorium at
the College of Charleston, in Charleston,

Closing out hour one, we’ll speak with Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman
of Connecticut, and ask him where he stands on Social Security.
At the top of the second hour, Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley tells us about the job he’s held
since 1975, and the importance of urban design in keeping a city happy.
Then Senator Lindsey
Graham--Republican-but-I’m-down-with-Democrats Senator Lindsey
Graham--phones in and we’ll ask him about how his Social Security plan differs from Bush’s, and
about being tough on Rumsfeld and torture, sometimes.
Headlining hour three is South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn.
He represents part of Charleston, though not the part we’re in today. He does,
however, represent the opposition to Bush’s race carding
of Social Security.
And finally, joining us on stage will be Alex Sanders, who’s been a lot of things for
South Carolina: president of the College of Charleston, state legislator, Chief

This weekend, for the second time in less than a year, Charleston audiences

an 18,000-gallon pond stocked with goldfish, water plants, and a host of
perambulating, quacking ducks for its remarkable production of Chen Shi-Zheng’s

ECLIPSE
OF THE SUN
Starting
about 5:30 p.m., in one of those little TGIF after-hours indulgences, the moon
will carve away at the fiery orb a slice at a time, like a spoon delicately
slicing a cantaloupe, until it has devoured a quarter of it by about 6:15 p.m.
Eyes back down here, please. Never ever look directly at the sun without proper
filtering equipment. The eclipse is an annular, named for antumbral, or
negative shadow of the moon, cast by the sun, that is what darkens the earth.
The track of the shadow is called "the path of annularity." An
annular eclipse dramatic enough to be seen isn't as rare as a total eclipse,
but rare enough, said Chris True, College of Charleston astronomy lab manager.
Oddly enough, the moon whirling around between the Earth and the sun will
eclipse the star two times per year or so, but often so subtly the human eye
doesn't realize what's happening.

Study: Bridge run pumps millions into local economy
The
Cooper River Bridge Run lasts just a few hours every April, but its effect on
the Charleston area is significant. A new study reveals the 2004 race had a
$14.3 million impact on the local economy.
The
Joseph P. Riley Jr. Institute for Urban Affairs and Policy Studies at the
College of Charleston conducted the study earlier this year, based on responses
from 2004 bridge run participants. Janet Key, the institute’s interim director,
and Silke Banning, research assistant, crunched the numbers from 518 surveys.

Graham getting heat for
bucking GOP party line
“I really don’t think
this is going to hurt him,” says College of Charleston political scientist Bill
Moore. “He has quickly established himself in Washington as a (relatively new)
senator who is listened to.
“His positions have not
always been hard-core conservative positions. But I don’t see this ad campaign
having a significant impact. It is highly unusual for an incumbent senator to
be challenged in a Republican primary. It will take an unusual person to
challenge and beat him.”

Lowcountry mourns pope
John
Creed, an associate professor of political science at the College of
Charleston, said John Paul made it clear "that religion is relevant to
international politics. He was a pope who spoke forcefully for issues, and that
made him a controversial international figure."

'Pay
your taxes' (Letter to the editor)
As April 15 approaches,
many of my fellow South Carolinians will turn their attention to a dreaded
task: filing income taxes. At this moment, many of us will be tempted to cheat,
and under-report our income. To those considering this course of action I say,
reconsider.
