$100 rewa by alarme BY MARION ELLIOTT Of The Gamecock staff - A $100 reward is offered to any student catching someone pulling false fire alarms in Preston Hall. Dorm residents are offering the reward in an attempt to eliminate false fire warnings which have alarmed residents since last fall. Also, residents have requested University Housing to install glass coverings on the hall's alarms. There were nine false alarms in Preston last semester and four Ticket pick-up From Page i might have because of his close association with the Athletic Department. "If I had gotten up there and spoken, they'd have felt that everything I said had already been put in my head," he said, "I felt it would be better to let people not connected with the Athletic Department speak." Painter works closely with Booco in distributing the student tickets. Booco, Ray Faircloth, athletic ticket manager, and Jordan said Thursday they favored a "first come, first served" system. Jordan said of that system, "We could do it in a half day. You could cut down on the expense of having people come in and work." Faircloth said he was against another proposal made by students after the Notre Dame pick-up. "Some students," he said, "think the entire Coliseum's seats should go to the students and if they don't pick them up, to the public. But you can't work that way." He gave the Gamecock Club as an example of the need for non student tickets. "If a guy gives a full scholarship to get season tickets," Faircloth said, "You've got to give them to him." I eI service.

"It's no laughing matter," Paul Sandsbury, dorm senator, said. "We have been awakened at 2 a.m. several times." The reward will be paid after the witness testifies against the prankster, residents said. The accused must be prosecuted before any reward can be offered and such a reward would come from the combined dorm government funds of Woodrow and Preston halls. Preston residents requested glass coverings for alarms after the number of false alarms in nearby Woodrow were greatly reduced when such covers were installed. "Woodrow had ex perienced the same problem until covers were put in at Thanksgiving but since then no more alarms have occurred there," Sid Griffin said on behalf of Preston residents. University Housing has not responded to the requests for coverings, Griffin said. Sudhi Sohoni, area manager of Preston, told hall advisors installing covers on alarms would be too expensive, Griffin said. Sohoni would not comment on the matter Friday and Joseph Barnes, associate director of Housing, was unavailable for comment. George Mitchell of physical facilities in Housing, whose office installed the glass coverings in Woodrow, said, "Syntex coverings we put over alarms in Woodrow cost about $18 each. Since we installed them in Woodrow the number of alarm pullings has been reduced but four of the coverings have been torn up. We tried covers on trial basis in Woodrow. Any move to put them in Preston would come from Mr. Barnes." One Preston hall advisor said, "We have had so many false alarms that many residents now sleep through them." If we have a real fire someone may be trapped since only about 100 of the 300 students in the dorm go out on alarms any more." Izza, Lasagna, Veal armesan Spaghetti and elicious Italian salads.

From 11np.m.to Senate dc rules, am BY LEE POWELL Of The Gamecock staff The USC Student Senate deliberated almost two hours Wednesday on a bill calling for the most comprehensive set of procedural rules the senate has ever had, Allen Lawhead, president of the senate said. The suggested rules, proposed by Tom Efland, chairman of the senate Judiciary Committee, are basically the same as the present rules. However, some sections have been changed or clarified. The entire bill was not voted on Wednesday, thus the senate will continue to operate by the existing rules. Lawhead said, he expects the bill to be voted on during this Wednesday's meeting. Lawhead said he expects further discussion on the bill to be limited because the senate must concern itself with the proposed elections budget. One of the proposed rules concerns legislation assigned to a senate committee. Under this provision, a bill can either be assigned to a committee or go directly to the floor for debate. To go directly to the floor requires a two-thirds majority or an order by the presiding officer. Another section of the bill calls for a change in the order of Ihe IS H ERE! 8a.m. nightly bates 6 endmnents business. Announcements and requests apart from official senate business would come after official business is finished. Many senators say this is good because the unofficial communications period has sometimes taken much time-time that could be used for debate on bills. This step will eliminate that problem, because it puts important business first when mo9t senators are present. A special section would allow old or unfinished business to be completed before new legislative business is begun. Some amendments and new rules were added to the 27 rules provided in the bill. An amend ment passed by the senate says that any speaker who has attained the floor by consent of the presiding officer shall have the privilege of yielding the floor to another speaker. However, the speaker who has attained the floor by a yield would not have the power to yield to another speaker. Sen. Garry Latimer who proposed the amendment said this rule was necessary to prevent a continuous flow of yielding, so that everyone has a better chance to express his ideas. This rule eliminates the filibuster tactic. Iot
