During the past year, the
USC police have faced
constant personnel and
morale problems, and the
difficulties may not subside
until the department is
organized in a completely
different manner, some
Campus Police officers say.
The department was
criticized by a special
committee made up of
students and administrators
this summer for solving a

being overweight and
unresponsive.
Campus Police disagree
with most of the report's
findings and some officers
said they felt the report
could cause friction between
students and police officers.
GEORGE KEY, head of
USC Public Safety and
Security,said, "If the police
are going to be judged by the
number of arrests they
make, then they will be more
inclined to slap it to
anybody." Key will retire at

denied any correlation
between the report and his
retirement.
Campus Police officers
said students are fortunate

don't have jurisdiction over
the campus, because more
arrests would be made for
less serious offenses, such as
public drunkenness and
fighting.
Columbia Police said they
think Campus Police are too
lenient on students. They
agree they would handle
students with more
auUiority.
A COMMITTEE headed
by President James
Holderman is studying the
organization of the force.
USC Police Chief Marvin
Harrelson, criminal justice
Dean William J. Mathias
and Lieutenant Carl Stokes
of the State Law Enforcement
Division are on
the committee, which met:
only once.
Some USC policemen see
the committee as another
unnecessary step in
reorganizing the system.
"One (Mathias) is ail book
knowledge and no practical
experience, one (Stokes) is
the fair-haired boy of
Holderman's and then
there's a chief who's running
scared," said a close
associate of the campus
police.
"I've offered a lot of
suggestions to the chief, but
he's set in his ways. He
doesn't want anything to
change," one policeman
said.
The department received
a major blow when an important
decision by the chief

he panicked. He was
immediately released, and
he couldn't get another job
because of a poor reference
from the chief.
EVANS APPEALED the
case to the S.C. Department
of Human fairs and won
his case on the stipulation
that he say nothing about the
incident. The bad references
were eliminated, and Evans
was hired by the Charlotte
Police Department.
