They have attended Ku Klux Klan rallies and were at a Klan sponsored event Friday, a Klan leader t said. - “It appears that the climate for hate crimes has gotten worse, and I believe ” that the state needs a full-time prosecutor ' and investigator to pursue all hate crimes - in South Carolina," Condon said. - He also said he wants lawmakers to - increase the penalties for violent crimes I linked to racial hatred. X “It is true you can’t legislate morality, I that you can’t change people’s hearts ‘ with a law,” Condon said. “But we can ; make sure that this type of crime is more than adequately punished.” Spires and England each face three counts of assault and battery with intent I to kill and one count of possession of a : firearm during the commission of a crime. ;; If convicted, they face as long as 65 years - in prison. Horace King, a grand dragon of the South Carolina Christian Knights, said X the men had attended KKK rallies at his home and were at a Klan-sponsored tur key shoot there Friday night, not Satur day as first reported. - Lexington County Sheriff James Metts said both men attended a Confederate flag rally Saturday in South Congaree sponsored by the St. Louis-based Coun- X cil of Conservative Citizens. “It’sasplin '. ter group, as we understand, from the ; KKK,” Metts said. ; However, Samuel Dantzler, a state - director of the CCC from Orangeburg, said neither of the men were invited to - nor attended the event. He said he saw all I 36 people who were there and took pic ; tures of most of them. Z Dantzler also denied the group has - any connection with the Klan.

And I hope we don’t.” But other city officials were not so willing to discuss the matter. “I just don’t know what to say about this,"said Mayor Martha Wood. “I didn’t think it was a problem.

The UNC senior might be in one of your classes. Or you could have seen him in the spotlight of a smoky caft, baring his soul while strumming his guitar. And most recently, you might have seen his posters up around campus and on Franklin Street, heralding the release of Garrigan’s second CD, The Lessons of Autumn. The history major from Fayetteville will perform tonight at his CD release party at Cat’s Cradle. Garrigan admits it was difficult as a solo artist to establish a niche for himself. “There isn’t much in this town for a singer-songwriter; it’s straight-up rock in most clubs.” He said although he found it hard to get shows, he played for more mellow crowds at places such as the Skylight Exchange and the Intimate Bookshop. The Lessons of Autumn is a concept album, Garrigan said; he uses the fall season as a centerpiece to tell a story of sorts. He described the CD as “a mythology the record of my emotions, like a BEYLE FROM PAGE 3 campaigns, particularly the role of for eign contributions. “Money is very important.

All the songs are related, like 11 chapters of one story.” Garrigan described this CD as “a more sophisticated-type recording,” compar ing it to the Sgt. Pepper’s album from the Beatles—orchestrated with a sound that fell “full and good on your stereo.” No song sounds like the one that preceded it, and, overall, he said he found it a better record than his debut release. Garrigan will graduate from UNC in May, and he has a pretty good idea of what direction he would like his career to take. His current manager is “a guy who has had some success in the industry,” and after graduation Garrigan intends to do some touring and “shop the (record) labels.” Although he intends to play and per form for many years to come, Garrigan said whether or not he would make it his livelihood would be determined by his success. “I’ll give it a shot,” he said. However, he admitted he was also applying to law school in anticipation of a backup career.
