University Police enforcing ID regulation
By Jennifer Nobles
Students are required to have student
identification cards in their possession
whenever on campus. The rule has existed
since the introduction of student IDs, but
enforcement will now be more intense,
University Police Chief Kenneth Pereira
said.
University Police stop four or five
students a night for ID checks, Pereira said.
"We look for people who look like they don't
fit in, someone who is unusual or out ot tne
ordinary." Pereira estimates that 8 to 10
people are sent off campus each week as a
result. He added that the rule is primarily
enforced in the later hours of the evening
and occasionally during the day.
A student who asked not to be identified
was stopped by University Police at 1:45
a.m. about a week before classes began
while he was walking on Greene Street in

student did not have his ID and gave the
policeman his name and social security
number instead.
Because the student had not
preregistered, he was not listed as a USC
student. The student was questioned about
seven o r eight minutes before the
- policeman was convinced he was a student.
Stricter enforcement of the regulation is
needed because university students have

of the regulation is not to harrass

The driver of the car in which two
I USC students were shot early Friday
morning was charged with driving
under the influence soon after the
shooting occurred, according to the
University Police reports.

lie was stopped by University Police
at 4:35 a.m., about an hour-and-a-half
after the shooting, at Sumter and
Devine streets and arrested for driving
under the influence and operating a
vehicle without a license, Stokes said.
Police identified the driver of the car
as Douglas A. Allen and the passengers
as David R. Mace and George K. Carr.
Ix)cal police departments do not
agree on details surrounding the
THE PURPOSE of the ID is to help the
student identify himself as a USC student
when necessary, according to Luther
Gunter, USC registrar.
"The card is a tool for identification, and I
don't think that anyone can make someone
carry anything, even a driver's license, but
at times you will be required to identify
yourself as a student, and your ID will
help," Gunter said.
Pereira said the policy has always been in
effect, but interest in enforcing it is more
recent. Enforcement was first intensified
last October when Pereira became chief.
Some students have questioned the
legality of the ID rule. Steven Dillingham,
assistant professor of criminal justice, said
the basis of a legal challenge would be the
penalties involved.
If the rule is only to restrict students to
parts of campus, then it is probably
legitimate, Dillingham said, but he "doubts
hat the authorities would have the ability to
impose the requirement on people in public
places, such as streets."
PEKEIRA SAID university officers are
state constables and may stop a person,
with cause, anywhere.
Students are being cooperative about
enforcing the rule, according to Pereira,
who said he has received no negative
complaints.

shooting.
Columbia Doliee investigators said
Tuesday that two guns were used in the
shooting: one a shotgun, the other
believed to be a 30-30 rifle. Columbia
police reports state that a single bullet
was removed from Mace's foot. The
bullet that was removed was said to
have been fired from a shotgun, while
x-rays revealed the shot still lodged in
his foot may have been fired from a 3030
rifle.
Stokes said it is unlikely that a 30-30
bullet would still be lodged in the foot.
He said he feels the bullet probably
would have gone through the foot.
He questioned the use of x-rays to
determine the bullet type. "I have seen
a lot of wounds, and it is almost impossible
to tell from x-rays what type of
gun was used," he said.

USC student exc
seeks additional
By Toni Saddler
More students are coming to USC than are
going away in the National Student Exchange
this year.
Eleven USC students are attending other
universities, and 28 students are here from
other colleges, according to Mark Shanley,
director of Student Development.
In its third year, the National Student
Exchange program allows students from
: u ~ t
universities suun aa ine uiuvei&uy ui ivwinc
and New Mexico State University to experience
South Carolina culture, climate
and USC academic programs.
USC students may attend another college
or university in other parts of the United
States for one or two semesters at the same
cost as USC tuition and fees through the
program, said Shanley, who laid the
groundwork for the exchange at USC in 1979.
SHANLEY DEFINES the program as a
4'low-risk, non-threatening way to experience
another region socially and
academically. Students can also become
familiar with an area for future employment,"
he said.
About 2,000 students are placed in more
than 50 state-supported colleges and
universities annually through the nationwide
program, according to Shanley.
"I wanted to go to the South and get away
from Idaho for a while. USC had programs I
wanted, and it's larger than my home
university," Karen Nichols, an exchange
student from the University of Idaho at
Moscow, said.
Nichols, an elementary education major,
said she thought the classes would be much t
larger than at her home university. "The
size is just about the same," she said.
NICHOLS LIVES in Columbia Hall with
another Idaho exchange student, Penny
Cofield. "We heard about the exchange
program from several friends and bulletins
at Idaho, and Penny and I finally narrowed
it down to Carolina," Nichols said.
"People are really friendly at Carolina,
but we get a kick out of listening to the
different ways words are spoken in the
South," Nichols said.

Stan Larson, a sophomore from Pittsburg
siaie in i\ansas uuy, Kansas saia ne warned
a school in the Southeast and warm
weather. He also said he enjoyed driving
through the mountains.
"I like to camp, hike and fish, and I'm
going to take advantage of being close to the
mountains," Larson said.
SURPRISED AT the small size of his
classes, Larson might get involved with
intramural soccer or other sports.
Stephanie Cole, a sophomore nursing
major from the University of Maine, said
she came to USC for its nursing program
and to "get away from all that snow."
Cole, now a 22-hour drive awav from
home, said, "I think it's fun to get away
from home for a while. Four years is a long
time."
Cole also found the way of life and speech
different in South Carolina. She said, "we
say 'you guys' instead of 'y'all,' and things
are just more easygoing down here.''
In addition to the exchange program, USC
also has a club for national exchange
students. Under the direction of Bob Reid,
National Student Exchange student coordinator,
the licensed organization participates
in intrarnurals, block seating for
athletic events, receptions and field trips.
Already this semester, the organization has
had a picnic at Bell Camp. Two field trips on
the agenda are a trip to Charleston and a
ski-trip to Beech Mountain, N.C.
"My roommate and I are really looking
forward to the Charleston trip because she
hadn't seen the ocean before coming to
Carolina. We already have been to
Charleston and Myrtle Beach, but I'm
looking forward to the more organized trip
as well," Nichols said.
