Citadel Wins A Round In Senate Fight Over Women Cadet Plan
South Carolina senators approved 3.4 million to fund The Women’s Leadership Institute at Converse College in Spartanburg as part of Citadel efforts to keep Shannon Faulkner from joining its male cadet corps. The vote followed days of closed-door talks and a previous 6.4 million proposal being withdrawn. Citadel supporters argued the plan targets single gender education while courts pressure the school to admit Faulkner. Converse president Sandra Thomas welcomed the vote but cautioned no agreement exists.

Beasley Pushes Break From Nuclear Waste Compact
Governor Beasley seeks to withdraw from the Southeast Interstate Nuclear Waste Compact and form a new agreement. He calls the current compact a joke while urging Barnwell County to stay open beyond December 31 and allow nationwide use of the low level waste facility. Commission members split along state lines with Alabama Mississippi and Virginia in favor of SC while Florida Georgia and North Carolina opposed. North Carolina struggles for a replacement facility and lags years behind schedule. Dr Richard S Hodes of Florida, the compact chair, opposes South Carolina exiting to avoid punishing North Carolina.
