in^uruni Offerina Extra Pr By ANDREW GARBER SUfl Writer Theft insurance for students is being offered for the first time at USC and 60 other universities across the nation by Parker & Parker Consultants of St. Petersburg, Fla. The Students Personal Effects Protection Program may not be suitable for all students, though, according to Dan Garber, vice-president of underwriting at Liberty ? r ~ Line insurance ^u. "Students considering buying theft insurance should take an inventory of their possessions first. If your effects don't add up to more than $800 you probably don't need the insurance," Garber said. "IN SOME cases students arp nrntrWoH under their parents' insurance policies. This should also be checked by students," he said. Wayne LaRoach, a spokesman for Parker & Parker Consultants, said response from USC students has been good. "Since school started, we've received 200 applications from USC students," he said. 4 41 I r A 11 A ? * ' ? we expect mai numoer 10 go up to 2,IHX) by the end of this year," LaRoach said.

Hie student then needs to notify the insurance company and send in the inventory list along with an official police report of the robbery," he said. From there on matters take care of themselves, LaRoach said. THE DEPRECIATION schedule for stolen goods is normally used in theft policies, he said. "For items such as stereos we have a ten-year depreciation schedule." F"nr pvamnlp if ? ctuHont hnncrht an tfl/AA ? 1 1 .. ? stereo two years ago, he would receive $600 if it were stolen. That's 10 percent depreciation in value for every year a student owns an item. According to Garber, 'he theft insurance seems to be "a standa' J operating policy similar to home owners theft insurance." "Although the premiums are a little high, me nature ol risk tnat dormitories represent is also high. Therefore, for students who have possessions totaling more than $800 to $1,000, it may be a good investment to buy the insurance," Garber said. "Of course, one option students always have is not to keep anything valuable in their room," he said.

All proposals were passed by a unanimous vote. Also discussed was the problem of students forging the names of faculty members to get into a closed section of a class. Another concern was the problem of faculty members facing liability suits when an accident occurs during a school-related field trip. Patterson assured the senate the matter would be "looked into."
