The "big crackdown" on vandalism, which began
in the spring semester 1979, will continue this fall,
according to Cynthia Forrest, director of student
development.

in terms 01 vandalism/the students want it cut
down/' Forrest said. Last year "we removed about
30 people from residence halls, and the majority was
for vandalism," she added.
This year,"if anyone is involved in vandalism they
will be removed from the hall and possibly the
university, Forrest said. She explained there would
be less warnings given, especially for blatant acts of
vandalism.

provided for them as a home, they'd stop and think,"
Forrest said.
FORREST SAID she believes the answer is
"student responsibility." The student who witnesses
or knows of an incident could either "confront" the
vandal about paying for the damage or "report him."
"Any student can turn another student in," for
vanaaiism, rorrest added. "We need to look at
vandalism as a crime, like theft."

program aids in making this
transition easier.
Peer Advising provides eight
student counselors whose purpose ? f*V T?i)
is to help students deal with any

while at USC, whether it be
homesickness, trouble getting into
college routines, or legal hassles,
according to Chris Simpson, Peer

"The theory is to help students/'
Simpson said. "It's often easier for
a student who has a problem to talk
with a fellow student than with
someone on the faculty or administrative
staff."
