should be 'state of opportunity' By JERRY ADAMS State Staff Writer Gov. Carroll A. Campbell Jr. promised South Carolinians opportunities to succeed in his inaugural address Wednesday and pledged to move the state forward economically while trying to eliminate state programs that no longer make sense. After swearing on two family Bibles that he'll uphold the laws of the state, Campbell said that his administration will try to do for the people what they can't do for themselves.

He'll help provide the opportunities, but the people will have to provide their own success. "To this end, we must recognize that the role of government is not to perpetuate programs to build networks of preferential treatment for the few. Government's role should not be one of finding new ways to spend tax dollars or solve problems that people can and should solve for themselves. "And government's function is not to ensure that everyone receives an equal share of the pie." He pledged to stress education, especially early education, but said that economic development and job creation will be the major emphases of the Campbell administration. "Education can't be viewed in isolation as an end to itself.

It is a means to the goal of attaining a quality of life which i is defined by each individual," he said. "As education is the heart of South Carolina's future, jobs are our lifeblood." "Without economic development we not only will be unable to provide jobs, we will be unable to pay for educational quality." Campbell took the oath of office on the south steps of the State House just before 1 p.m., becoming the state's 112th governor, but only the second Republican to hold that office this century. He succeeds Dick Riley, who could not seek a third term. Campbell was joined by his wife, Iris, and sons, Mike and Carroll III, as he swore the oath of office on the Bible used when she was baptized and on his Masonic Bible. U.S.

Sen. Strom Thurmond, himself a former governor, administered the oath. "I officially declare you installed as governor of South Carolina, a great governor of a great state. Congratulations," Thurmond said. About 3,700 people attended the 90-minute ceremony in chilly weather under partly cloudy skies.

The event, broadcast statewide on television, followed a morning prayer service at Trinity Cathedral and a Main Street parade. The inaugural ball climaxed the day's events. Campbell's father and step-mother were on the platform, as were six former governors, most of the state's congressional delegation, justices of the Supreme Court and the Appeals Court, and the leaders of the House and Senate. Most other members of the Legislature attended, seated as a group in front of the podium. Campbell's 24-minute inaugural address was billed Win State Ceremony for governors Gov.

Carroll A. Campbell Jr. walks 'Dixie' By JERRY ADAMS State Staff Writer The Confederate battle flag flew over the State House as usual on Wednesday, but the song "Dixie" was yanked from the inaugural program after black lawmakers complained that the song is offensive to blacks. Aides to Gov. Carroll Campbell agreed to remove the song from a patriotic medley after a brief meeting with three representatives of the Legislative Black Caucus.

"I didn't think that was right or fair to embarrass my friend at his greatest moment. That's why I called them (Campbell's aides) and we had the meeting in my office," Mitchell said. "They dealt with it in an abrupt and prompt and responsible manner. Nobody wanted to do anything that would be disruptive to the governor or the people of this state," he said.
