Thefts PIa I Securi A Labrador retriever is stolen from a student's car. A $900 couch is carried from the Russell House. A Carolina couple loses more than $1,000 worth of clothes from their parked car. Two students are robbed at knife point and one is assaulted. More than 100 dormitory thefts are reported to authorities. Vandalism this summer costs fraternities more than $5,000. Does Carolina have a security problem? "Of the thefts we've had," George A.

"The majority of cases w( n't do anything about. But il e had a report on each case, il ould be a great help to our de etive division," Key continued. Key, who said he couldn't judg4 hiether Carolina has an un. ually severe crime problem, sait is "hard to determine just whal adequate protection. "Whether this year's incident, )uld have happened if we ha< Ld additional men is hard to tell we had had 10 people or fiv( ople or three people, it coulc ve happened." Regardless of whether anyon( at fault, however, the list ol mages is staggering: -Since January, 22 automo. les have been reported stolen 11 have been recovered. -This semester ,items value( $6,097.93 have been stolen fron itomobiles. Of them, items wortl 48.98 have been found. -USC has lost $6,846.88 wortl property. The list includes 21 olen items-ranging from tapo corders and typewriters to i rge couch and a television set Alculators, a saxophone, stol atches, projectors and arn airs have been among the item: ken.

"The type of vandalism runs the whole gamut from small things like books to furniture to establish off-campus living quar ters," Brunton told The Gamecock recently. "I get the uneasy feeling that a number of people think that what is the University's is theirs." Brunton estimated that there is "close to $12 million worth of equipment and books on campus." He called vandalism "serious, but not extremely serious . . . a cause for concern, but not a paramount issue in terms of the total pic ture." More Cai Additional In an effort to cut (lown on i campus crime, security officials are seeking applicants for new patrolmen and are planning to in stall additional lighting on cam pus. There is a 20-person force of campus police, including Chief H. E. Robison, two detectives, I four clerical workers, a (lesk man and 12 patrolmen. George Key, supervisor of se curity. said funds are available to employ four additional patrolmen and two meter maids. In addi tion, he said, plans to add a fifth patrolman are expected to be ap proved, and Key is seeking ap 1 proval to hire three more patrol men. He said he expects the four new officers to be employed by Janu ary. Additional lighting is planned ,for several areas on campus: in - the arboretum behind South Build i ing; near stairways between Rus --sell House and University Ter 1* -IERS illy during the year, ound the country.

"We pay particular attention to I my non-student on campus after t 11 p.m.," Key said. "And I feel t ure we're going to change the i .ime till just after dark.

They also must check build ngs for fire and insurance pur >oses, and turn on several lights very evening. But Key and Dean of Men L. !ugene Cooper both ask students o exercise normal precautions as he best way to prevent crime. In Oddition, Key noted that crimes hould be reported as soon as )ossible. Nonetheless, he said, some in idents are unavoidable. In fact, Cooper himself was not pared.
