The work-study program is the

Miss Neal said that the bill

"The city, SCE&G and the
military were all very cooperative
and responsive," Brunton said,
"and have gone a long way toward
implementing" the requests made
by the University.
The city is implementing an
engineering study of the lighting on
Sumter Street, and is planning to
prune the trees irf this area.
Alternatives to the site of the bus
stop were suggested and will be
studied by the City of Columbia
Traffic Committee.
"The city and the power com
pany are responsible," Brunton
continued, "but the students are
equally responsible, and the main
thing they can do is not to walk by
themselves after dark. In spot
checks the University has made,
we've found a number of girls
walking alone after midnight."
"University police are now
concentrated on campus sur

redistributed."
