Almost everyone bustling around the state government complex agrees South Carolina has to do something about its serious drunken driving problem. Of the 730 people who died on the state's highways last year, 60 percent of the accidents were alcohol-related. dui iew agree on wnai 10 ao aoout it. Some say the way to go is community service and stiff fines. Others are clamoring for mandatory jail sentences to be served in "the local Bastille," as one senator put it. The Legislature is approaching the problem from several angles, including raising the drinking age to 21 and prohibiting open beer and wine containers in moving vehicles. The state Senate has tentatively passed what would appear to be a compromise solution for dealing with the DUI offender, but now it's getting criticism from both ends of the spectrum. Current laws on DUI provide for an option of steep fines or heavy jail terms ? , a combination costing drunken drivers plenty of money, but landing few of them in jail. The Senate bill provides for a fine or a 48-hour jail sentence for first-time offenders. The drunken driver pays a stiff fine and sprvps 4ft hmirc in tho clink or does community work on second offense. The third offense would cost the drunken driver a $2,000 fine and a 60day jail sentence. The prison time could be served nights and weekends. The fourth offense would cost the boozing driver $3,000 and a jail sentence ranging from 90 days to four years. Clowning around Representatives of the Maranethe Chri exchange hearts.

If you get drunk in The Silver Fox Lounge in ureenvuie, they'll literally drive you away. The cocktail lounge's owners decided the best way to keep their patrons from being arrested, hurt or lolled on the road was to buy a 9~ year-old limousine and start up a taxi service for tipsy customers. "We just want people to know that if they've had a little too much to drink, we'll take care of them," lounge manager Mike Smith said. The "taxi" is a dark blue 1974 Cadillac limo that seats about six. The lounge, about 10 minutes from downtown Greenville, handles about 2,700 customers per week, said Smith. Smith's system is simnle: If vou live within a 60-mile radius of the lounge and think you're too drunk to drive home, leave your car in the lot and hop a ride home in the limo, parked out front. Flans call lor three departures nightly ? 10 p.m., midnight and 2a.m. The limo service is being introduced just as a statewide crackdown on drunken driving is getting under way. State Sen.

The question of complicating matters for the state's overcrowded prisons and jails doesn't trouble her. "That's the least of my concerns," % she said. "I'm worried about the innocent victims. I'm tired of hearing that used as an excuse to let lawbreakers roam the streets." But her views are not shared by the governor's office. Bruce Dew, director of the governor's Public Safety Programs Division, said he wants to see required community service for the first and subsequent offenses. But he said jail is not an effective deterrent. ^ "Putting first-time offenders in jail would create immense problems in our local jails," said Dew. Rich Tidwell, a staffer in the division who has studied the crowded , conditions in local jails, said many of them don't meet minimum state or federal standards. Tidwell said his study completed six months ago identified about 300 available beds in the state's 63 long- ^ 1 term local jails. And 73 percent of that space is in six jails, two of which don't meet safety standards. There were 19,000 arrests for DUI in 1981 and 14,000 license suspensions.
