Robert E. McNair has asked J. P. Strom, chief of the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED), to "beef up" campus security in the wake of a third rape this weekend. McNair said that he wants to work for campus safety and has asked Strom to work with the University in "taking whatever steps are necessary to strengthen campus security." McNair said his request was not to be construed as turning the case over to SLED, but "merely an effort" of the governor to assure safety for all students. In the Sunday incident, police said a man armed with a knife forced the screen off a window of an unoccupied room in Sims. They said that the man then went up stairs where he found the victim watching television. The coed told the police that the man entered the room, locked the door behind him and raped her at knifepoint. Police are still searching for a man who raped a coed September 27 after he dragged her off a Sumter St. sidewalk and into the bushes by the War Memorial building. Police have arrested a Ft. Jackson soldier In connection with an attempted rape of a coed Oc tober 27. A fourth rape was reported October 4. A USC coed said that she was raped by five young men in Valley Park. A USC spokesman said the University has "been taking a look at areas of overgrown shrubbery and cutting some back in an at tempt to provide more protection along walkways and near dorms." The spokesman also said USC is attempting to improve lighting in darken areas, but it would cost more than $300,000 to provide proper lighting conditions.

Btw haven' goten Jo get hain Ifirmaryfo iht' a trmnostinhtAOi tfety Ce ir Safety patrol planned Plans for a student safety patrol have been announced by President Thomas F. Jones. Details of the patrol are being worked out, but Jones said in a statement issued to The Gamecock that the patrol was "suggested by students and supported by Student Government." He said it will "shortly begin operations under the supervision of Campus Security." The text of Jones' statement follows. Since the start of the current school year, we have had in vestigations of four sexually related assault cases. Two of these occurred on campus and the other two occurred immediately off campus. In. the light of these events. to say that the entire Carolina Community is deeply concerned for the safety and peace of mind of students -- particularly women students -- is a gross, un derstatement. We are deeply concerned not only for student safety on campus. but for their safety off-campus for this is a very serious problem in every urban area of this country. In recent months, we have worked very hard to insure the security of this campus, but because of its location and the number of people living or otherwise having access to the campus, there are complicated problems involved. While we are determined to improve the security of the campus we also must be concerned that whatever actions are taken will not be un duly repressive on the student population. All students are aware. I hope that we have a regularly scheduled bus service on campus which covers Russell House, Bates House. Columbia Hall and the SCM Building. In addition. APO recently started a mobile escort service which operates each evening until il p.m. Now. a Student Safety Patrol. suggested by students and sup ported by Student Government, will shortly begin operations under the supervision of Campus Security. These people will-operate in t wo-man patrols and they will be equipped with Wal ky-Talky radios which will place them in constant touch with Campus Security Headquarters. Both the APO operation and the Student Safety Patrol are. I think, excellent examples of student involvement with the administration in a concentrated and cooperative efftort to solv.e a very serious problem. I am sure there will be other v.ery valid suggestions from in dividual students and student organizations and we are prepared to consider these suggestions v.ery ca refullyI. There has been and there will continue to be excellent cooperation between our Campus Security and outside law en forcement people as we all attempt to solve these serious problems. In addition, a number of ad ministrative departments on campus have received orders from me to explore every possible way in which we can improve security here. New campus lighting, proposals are being studied: trees and other foliage around the campus are being trimmed or even removed to improve the security; better ways to secure lower floors of residence halls by the use of mesh screening on windows or the use of electronic devices are being studied and will soon be Im plemented. Meanwhile, we do have an In creasing number of night wat chmen on campus. We do have an enlarged uniformed security force.
