Turk said the gift, the largest ever received by the College, would be used to build a multi-media laboratory in the college s new building, to be completed in 2001. The building will be constructed on the site of the old Columbia Museum of Art, at the corner of Senate and Bull streets. Columbia Mayor Bob White said Wednesday that he will propose an ordinance to ban the sale of pornography in the city. White said while speaking at a rally held to raise awareness of the increase in sexual assaults in the city that these assaults were directly related to the sale of adult material.
Pornography has no family value.
I will do my best to rid our beautiful city of this despicable blemish. I do it for the protection of the women and children of Columbia, White said. Other violent crimes decreased during the same period. The rally was held on the Horseshoe of the University of South Carolina and sponsored by the USC chapter of the National Organization for Women. About 1,000 people attended.
