The public even voted for more taxes to pay for it. Graham, remembering Riley's effort, said Campbell could accomplish the same thing with his popularity. "The difference what this administration is doing on restructuring, and what Riley did, is that ours is a long-term effort," McAlister said. "We know it's impossible to get everything we want. And we don't feel constrained by a three-month timetable.

(Campbell) has the luxury of time and being able to work through this thing very methodically." Campbell's plan would mold the scores of state agencies into a 10-member cabinet. Instead of the Legislature electing the boards that run the agencies, the governor would appoint them. The plan would not take effect before Campbell left office in early 1995. McAlister said the lack of strong resistance among lawmakers so far has surprised the administration. Several legislators have their own restructuring plans.

"While most of the bills are not what we want, the very fact that they're introduced is important," McAlister said. "All of them say one thing, regardless of how they're written: 'We don't like the system as it now stands, and change is We haven't seen the stonewalling that some people said we would." Campbell has found it hard to get. his message out, however. "The news is dominated by the FBI sting on one hand and war on the other. It's very difficult to get anybody, including the media, to focus on other issues," McAlister said.

"The timing was lousy." Inmates (Continued from page 1A) John Blume, a Columbia, S.C, lawyer who represents Gaskins and 15 others among South Carolina's 45 death-row inmates, said news of the petition did not surprise him. "They would go in a millisecond they'd be honored to go," said Blume. "The fact that people are incarcerated doesn't mean their patriotism is at an end." Prosecutor Dick Harpootlian, who won the death penalty for Gaskins in a 1983 case, scoffed at the idea. "There is an international law against shipping hazardous waste abroad," he said Gaskins, 55, was convicted of 10 killings. He was sentenced to death for killing fellow inmate Rudolph Tyner with a high-explosive booby trap.

In a letter sent with the petition to the newspaper, Gaskins said not all on death row volunteered for war because "some of the guys think they have a better Holderman MRS. W.M.

Business school Dean James Kane said he did not know Springs gave the money. The money was "absolutely diverted without my knowledge," Kane said. "I think it would be a misuse of the funds." Michael Mungo, chairman of the school's board of trustees, said he knew nothing about it. Records show the foundation board of directors approved $15,000 in 1985 for Holderman's vacation. In a Nov.

20, 1985, letter, Genau told foundation financial officer John O'Donnell to use Holder-man's personal account at the foundation to pay $8,267 in bills from the Hawaiian trip. "As you know, a gift for $15,000 will be forthcoming to offset the overage from his trip," Geii.au Gulf (Continued from page 1A) The coalition was expected to unleash a furious battle across desert sands, involving naval forces, armies and perhaps a helicopter or amphibious landing of Marines. There were quick cries of support from Capitol Hill. "I have tremendous faith in the ability of our fighting men and women to liberate Kuwait and Ninety Six man seriously injured in wreck A 75-year-old Ninety Six man was seriously injured after being thrown from his pickup truck Saturday morning after striking a tractor-trailer rig on U.S. 25 South at U.S.

221. Charles P. McConnaughey of Rt. 1 was listed in poor, but stable condition at Self Memorial Hospital. A passenger in the pickup, his wife Mary, was also admitted to the hospital, where she was reported in good condition.

S.C. Highway Patrol Trooper J.D. Coster said the accident remains under investigation. The driver of the tractor-trailer, identified as Delmas Jackson Brown, 58, of Vidalia, was not injured. Coster said he believes McCon-naughey's truck hit the trailer's landing gear, dragging the truck along and opening McCon-naughey's door.

He was then hurled from the cab onto the pavement, he said. The tractor and trailer had to be towed from pine woods, Coster City wrote. O'Donnell last week produced a photocopy of a $15,000 check from Springs to the foundation dated Dec. 2, 1985. The check was deposited in Holderman's foundation account, O'Donnell said.

"We assumed that was the check for the trip to Hawaii because it came from Mike Genau and it was the only money we ever got from him," O'Donnell said. "Mike Genau told us to apply it. We're just the bookkeeper." But Thompson produced a photocopy Friday of a Springs check stub. It was directed to the business school. "There's no way in hell it should have gone to the Foundation," Kane said.

Records show Genau specifically asked Springs to reissue the check and make it out to the foundation. war am confident that our great military advantages will continue to pay off on the battlefield," said Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo. "I hope and pray that the combat goes quickly and effectively with minimum loss of life." "I pray this will be a quick and decisive victory with as few casualties as possible," said Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, who lost use of an arm in World War II combat. Earlier Saturday, the Soviet Union tried and failed to come up with a withdrawal plan acceptable to both the coalition and Iraq.

Bush said the last-ditch diplomacy gave Saddam "one last chance," and said the Iraqi leader instead redoubled his efforts "to destroy Kuwait and its people." "Regrettably, the noon deadline passed" with no hint of an Iraqi withdrawal, Bush said in a 10 p.m. internationally-televised address upon his return to the White House from Camp David. He said he had directed Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf "to use all forces available, including ground forces, to eject the Iraqi army from Kuwait." "I ask only that all of you stop what you are' doing and say a prayer for all the coalition forces who this very moment are risking their lives for their country and for all of us," he said. Cheney offered no military details and said he was suspending press briefings in Washington and Riyadh until further notice.

"We must assume that the enemy is confused about what is happening on the battlefield, and we must not" release information that might aid the Iraqi defense, he said. log address to police and burglary Friday and Saturday.

Home-school (Continued from page 1A) teach children at home.

He also suggested that the law governing home schooling, enacted by the General Assembly in 1988, be amended so parents can be given temporary permits to teach children at home until they learn the results of their test. "We were extremely disappointed at the decision," said Zan Tyler, legislative liaison for the South Carolina Home-Educators Association. "We thought our case was extremely airtight." The group said it plans to appeal the case to the state Supreme Court. The court has not addressed the issues raised in Drew's decision, said Assistant Attorney General Emory Smith. "We're certainly pleased with the decision," Smith said.

Drew said in his opinion that the state "has a compelling interest in ensuring that the children who are home taught are taught by capable persons, and that this test is a least-restrictive method for ensuring that." But Tim Lawrence, a Laurens home-schooler and plaintiff in the case, said the state law is too cumbersome.
