His goal in life? Run the White House. Andrew Davis' goal for the week? Raise money for the newspaper he edits. "I just did a large expose on parking services." It's a conservative paper on Clemson's campus, pages known as delicious, conservative brain-food. "We make no qualms about being very biased of the right wing," he says. To help pay for printing costs, 20-year-old Andrew organized a raffle for a rifle: an AK-47. "We're hoping with this event to show people the AK-47 is no more dangerous than a knife or a car," he says.
Stashed in the basement of Clemson's library among thousands of books, on page 138 is Andrew's motivation. "The Second Amendment is one of our least appreciated that we have and probably the one that is most attacked. We hope this event will raise awareness for the Second Amendment," says Andrew. Not everyone on campus is pleased with the paper's idea. Andrew says he's heard from a faculty member and a student who plan to protest.
But he has found support from campus leaders. "The reaction from the administration has not been one to shut these people down but to let students exercise these rights," says Andrew. And that's a lesson this student hopes to take all the way to the White House. Raffle tickets go on sale February 27th through March 2nd. Organizers plan to offer them on campus near the main library from 9am until 3pm for a $5 donation. For more information you can e-mail Andrew at observr@clemson.edu

Doubtful, as was pointed out in an earlier story.
An AK-47 is a select-fire weapon. Probably a cheap semi-auto copy.
He should have raffled an AR15

The kid deserves a little support.
***Not the exact auctioned item either, but perhaps closer.***
Dam! I'm slobbering all over the keyboard!
Why didn't they raffle off something really usefull? The times change, but The New York Slimes just stays the same...
I'd like an AK 47 - where do I buy a ticket?
AK-47...When you absolutely, positively have to kill every mother in the room...accept no substitutes.
Sorry. Can't take you seriously with a name like Beaver Fever.
Perhaps you can post on the cultural relativism of Animal House
Not a true AK. Its better!
