There have been 14 instances of
break-ins since Jan. 1, 1979 at
Woodland Terrace apartments, a
USC housing facility, according to
Chief M. D. Harrelson of the
Campus Police.
"Normally any trouble we've
had out there has been in the
evening, but most ot the
housebreakings this year have
happened during the daytime,
Harrelsonsaid.
"I WOULD think it's just one
individual, and I believe it will be a
teenager when we find him," he
said, ine tnings ne s oeen picking
up are piggy banks and loose
change." One police report listed
the theft of $15 in pennies.
Harrelson said the thief is passing
up things a professional would not
leave behind.
In most cases a pane of glass has
oe?n removea irom a winaow or
door, according to Harrelson. "It
takes a while to take out a window,
and these apartments are close
together," Harrelson said. "He's
been real lucky that no one has
reported anything strange.''
One female resident of Woodland
Terrace, who prefers to be
unidentified, does not think it is
unusual that no one has noticed
anything strange because of a
personal incident that recently
happened.
"It was about three o'clock in the
morning, and my dog wanted to go
out," she said. "So I put on my
front porch light and walked him
off the step. I looked on the side of
the building, and there was a man
coming towards me. I froze and
started screaming. The dog
started barking too, and the man
ran away.
"I think he was standing at my
window, but I don't think he was a
peeping torn because all my lights
were out." The resident said she
could not get a good look at the
man because it was so dark. "All I
know is that he was wearing boots
like army boots," she said.
Harrelson said one police report
had a description of a man on a
bicycle in the neighborhood who
was seen knocking on doors at 11
a.m. the day of a break-in. "We
were not notified until after 1
p.m.," Harrelson said. "If people
want to help their neighbors they
shouldn't wait until the owners eet
back. They should call us immediately
if they see persons
acting suspiciously.''
HARRELSON SAID patrols
have been increased in the
Woodland Terrace area. 'Tve had

stranger to notice unusual things,'
he said. "That is why we need help
from people who live there."
"I don't care for the idea oi
vigilantes because too many in
nocent people could get hurt,"
Harrelson said. "I don't think a
private security guard would pay
off either," he added.

sent to Woodland Terrace
residents alerting them of the
situation and asking for
cooperation from residents in
keeping an eye on the neighborhood.

Education is the primary
publication in higher education,"
Duncan said. "Hopefully we will
find a large number of candidates
applying for the position. In
general, we are looking for a
person with a minimum of a
masters (degree), preferably a
doctorate with good, solid ex
perience in student affairs," she
said. Also, someone with a good
knowledge of the workings of
fraternities is a primary concern
in this area too, along with good,
strong administrative skills."
Elkins' resignation was handed
in July 12, effective Aug. 15, ac- .
cording to Duncan. He had held the
position since Sept. 1978.
Until his position is filled,

for the Student
Organization Licensing Commission,

decides what groups and activities
are licensed and makes sure they
meet Title IX regulations along
with advising other functions. The
staff will also be reporting directly
