GRAHAM: McCain supporters let down SCHOOL SAFETY: Students more aware of violence at schools Continued from page 1A he said. time," he said. Just to be alert as carries a three-day suspension, he said. Overall, he said, students feel safe at Saluda High.

"KIDS ARE more spiritual-minded about the safety of themselves and of others," Graves said. He said students are more willing to talk to administrators or teachers about potential problems. Recently, about 40 students submitted essays about school safety. Graves said. That was something that grew from Graves' talking to students.

"We always talk about school safety, but we never talked to kids about it," he said. Graves said he is glad to learn Emerald students feel safe and notice things like cameras in the halls and other safety measures. Abbeville Superintendent Richard Garrett said he's urged principals and urged them to be "especially vigilant" on this day. Like other educators, Garrett said Columbine, and other school shootings, "heightened our sensitivity of safety in the schools." He said the addition of school resource officers and hand-held metal detectors are reactions to those crimes. Garrett said the shootings reveal an added seriousness to the problem of violence in America.

"I think it's indicative of a pervasive cancer in American society," he said. ye possibly can. I don't know what you can do beyond that" Greenwood High Principal Ken Alexander said he expected to hear the upcoming anniversary talked about, but has been surprised. I "I DON'T KNOW that I've had anybody mention it," he said. Alexander said he doesn't know why it hasn't been an issue at the school, especially with the upcoming anniversary getting heavy media exposure as the day approaches.

"The kids don't seem to be afraid at Greenwood High School," he Ssaid. "Hopefully it's because the Jrids feel safe. I hope that's the reason." Alexander said the incidents of school shootings, dramatized by the shootings at Columbine, have had a jcouple of effects. "I think it's made us all much Vnore conscious of safety issues," he said. i The shootings have also made students more aware of how to keep each other safe and that tragedy can strike anywhere.

"The kids know it's real, that it's something they have to deal with," he said. Alexander said students have also changed their attitudes toward one another. "I think people are more aware and more sensitive to other people," EMERALD HIGH Principal Chuck Graves said students and teachers at his school will pay very little attention to the anniversary. "I think it's just a horrible thing to remember," he said. Graves said it will probably be on the minds of many during their moments of silence at the school today.

Graves said incidents such as Columbine have heightened awareness among students about safety and how others should be treated. "I think they're much more in tune with what's going on around them," he said. Lines of communication have opened up between students and faculty members, he said. The students themselves have become aware of what effect they have on each other, he said. SALUDA HIGH Principal Walt Tobin said the shootings have raised awareness of security and administrators take threats more seriously.

He said that two months ago a student at Saluda High threatened to place bombs in air-conditioning units in the school "which was pretty impossible, but we had to take it seriously," he As a result of the nationwide school violence, Tobin said he has tightened school policy. For example, disrespect to a staff member Graham, McCain's state co-chairman, said he told the senator to avoid the flag issue to keep from turning the campaign "into a referendum on the flag." But, McCain said, "the decision was mine and the responsibility was mine." South Carolina's Legislature is still struggling with the flag. A Senate-passed plan to move it to a monument on Statehouse grounds is likely to face tougher going in the House. By inviting Bush and McCain here, Graham said the event will not only raise money, but also could help bring together Republicans who were deeply divided by the primary campaign. Continued from page 1A his personal feelings on the Confederate flag," Graham said.

"However, the issue in South Carolina is not John McCain's opinion, or my own, but to move forward as a state to resolve this issue as the General Assembly has been trying to do." Other reaction to McCain's statement among some of his former supporters was not as diplomatic. "He lied to me," said state Rep. Jake Knotts, R-Lexington, a Confederate flag supporter. Knotts, along with Graham and U.S. Rep.

Mark Sanford broke from the Republican Party leadership and supported McCain. "I will be criticized by all sides for my late act of contrition. I accept all of it I deserve it," McCain said. But he also won praise. "He didn't have to come, he didn't have to say it," said Sam Tenen-baum, a prominent Columbia Democrat who contributed to McCain's campaign and voted for him in the Feb.
