last of a series of speakers during
Law Enforcement Week.
A student stated he saw an of
ficer with his badge taped in police
headquarters.
Snipes said, "if an officer tapes
his badge, he shouldn't be allowed
to work with law enforcement."
One student asked Capt. Snipes
why the DeSoto Hotel has not been
closed down. Snipes commented
that the DeSoto was a "licensed
place of business," and that it had
been raided 26 times.
Snipes then explained that city
police officers were paid $6,230 a
year and that it was becoming
difficult to find good officers.
"And it is just as hard to find
black officers as white. We do not
practice discrimination," he said.
When asked to comment on the
"no knock law," Capt. Snipes said,
"I don't like that law. You're going
to have a lot of policemen killed."
Lydon drew scattered applause
when he said "if someone breaks
into your home, and you don't
know whether he is a burglar or an
officer, you have the right to shoot
him."
The discussion then turned to the
events of last May.
Snipes said that he regretted the
rock throwing incident by police
and students.
Snipes said that the officers
involved in the rock throwing were
given demerits. When questioned
about demerits, he explained that
when an officer receives ten
demerits, he is up for suspension.
Snipes also explained that If an
officer were "in hot pursuit" of a
subject, he could legally enter the
dorms, as allegedly happened last
May.

A Carolina coed reported that a
man attempted to attack her
Saturday about 12:15 a.m. while
she was walking alone near the
campus.
The student, accor.ding to
Detective Capt. Harry P. Snipes,
said she was walking west on the
1300 block of Green Street when
she passed a man walking In the

started to follow her.

afraid and walked in the street on

walked beside her and asked If a
nearby bar was open. The girl
replied she didn't know.
The man gra bbed the girl around
her neck and dragged her into a
Drayton Hall walkway.
Snipes said the screams of the
girl caused four persons walking
nearby to Investigate. The man
fled the scene In a nearby car.

Many of the 100 spectators were
'themselves candidates. Only 17
people remained at the end of the
debates.
Jim Stewart, elections com
mission chairman said, "I think
that the candidates who stuck
around to listen to them have a
very good idea of who they're
going to vote for.
"It greatly disturbed me that
candidates left when they said they
are so interested and talked about
the apathy of the student body."
Stewart said.
Stewart attributed the small
turnout to inadequate publicity.
He said that only freshmen
received enough notification.
"We were pushed for time as
usual. People did not know about
debates and when they did there
was a failure to communicate," he
said.
Stewart said that Sunday af
ternoon was a poor time to
schedule debates because many
students are still away -for the
weekend.
"I think that people generally
don't come to things," he said.
"People don't come to pep rallies
and class meetings."
Candidates for freshman offices
called for class unity, involvement,
power and communication.
Presidential candidate Tom
Spratt said, "If I'm elected I'm
going to put power in this office.
I've got the Lord on my side."
Another presidential candidate,
Cheryl McIntire, called for a

The importance of group par

for many the retreat was a
weekend of self-examination.
Group paintings, prearranged
conflicts and an abundance of
conversation helped cement each
group of eight into a unit. The final

evaluation of each member of the

The Wheeler Hill Project is "a I
unique experiment" in adult Hi
education and "human renewal tiv
spirit." in the words of it's pri
diecta. Dr. Joel Freid. - ele
The project has been in existence Hi
since Aug. 28 and is being Un
conducted through the Univer- pe4
sity's Social Problems Research Th
Institute. The project is trying to for
reach the adult community old
through the use of wo
"paraprofessionals" or "learning sm
catalysts". go
The learning catalysts are I
themselves residents of Wheeler Spi
Hill who are trained to go out into stc
the community and tell their abi
neighbors about the project. Freid sai
said the use of paraprofessionals col
as liaisons between residents and dr
learning sources was much better ge
than trying to send in outside pih
professionals or sending letters to
the residents. Freid said "It's ce:
idiotic to send letters to people who oti
can't read." Hil
The learning catalysts have an
themselves been to school at the pa;
Columbia Industrial Education
Center . The CIEC is supported by as
the Office of Educational Op- an
portunity (OEO). an
The CIEC is presently con- on<
ducting a class of Adult Basic tel
Education every night in Bates thi
House from 6 to 9. The class has 13 for
men who are learning basic pr<
literacy skills. b
The catalysts after their training th
go out into the community and tel
recruit people for classes. The th
classes do not have to be solely as
literacy subjects, they can be on th
anything that the people want. The
project is now sponsoring a class in
sewing that has an enrollment of2 su
women at varying levels of D
proficiency. It is being taught by a an
home economics teacher from E
Booker T. Washington school and fo
two of the learning catalysts. ye
Classes that are being planned Eo
for the future are first aid, typing do
and consumer education. Freid t
said the catalysts go out into the a l
community, find out what the m'
people want to learn and then they th
plan the,development of the class. sul
,The project tried to eliminate F
many of the problems that adults the
face in trying togo toclass. He said the
that the project~ provides.. tran- abo
sportation, babysitting services, F
books. There is also the added by1j
encouragement of the classes pa
being taught In the community. thi,
Freid said the project is Involved and
in a homebound service. This sue
service would send volunteers to a "it
student's home If he or she were mu
ebates
aks as a participant in the
re being held today. Run
