Bomb threats r
By FRED STEPPE
Staff writer
Bomb threats on Petigru and
the Business Administration
Building on April Fools' Day
were hoaxes, according to cam
pus policc reports.
Nothing was found in the
buildings during investigations,
said Carl Stokes, systems vice
president for law enforcement
and safety. He also said both
calls probably were made by the
same person.
Housing Continued fr
semester was offered the chance
to move by Nov. 1.
If housing can't offer a place in
another room, a $60 refund on
the housing fee is given to
everyone in the room to compensate
for the extra person. II housing
offers an alternative room
and the resident turns it down, no
refund is given.
. . .
a reiunci nas not Tieen
necessary in five or six years.
Smart said. Fees for housing in
Sims and Preston next fall will be
$560 and $540, respectively.
Students already in the selected
rooms are notified by letter that
an extra student may be put in
their room and are given the opportunity
to switch dorms for fall
semester before other returning
students.
Campus housing is assigned, in
order of priority, to returning
students, freshmen, transfer
students and current students
wanting to move on-campus.
Most of the students in
overassigned rooms are freshmen
and transfer students. Smart
said.
"If 1 were in one of those
rooms and someone sent me a letter,
I wouldn't be real happy
about it, but we try to do what's
best for the most people.
"At times we have to inconvenience
some people for a short
time so we can get everyone into a
good situation for the rest of the
year.
"Obviously putting people in
an overcrowded situation is not
ideal, but it's the best alternative
short of having people stay in
hotels."
Putting people in hotels was rejected
as a solution hiv:mu' nf
cost and the potentially lonely experience
of a freshman basing to
live off-campus, Smart said.

was utterly ridiculous, and it

nade on Petigru
The police department conducted
the investigation without
evacuating anyone from the
buildings, he said.
Police also reported the arrests
of two people who were charged
with possession of cocaine and an
unlawful weapon on Saturday at
a Carolina Coliseum parking lot.
Other crimes reported last
week included five bicycle thefts,
four car break-ins, several false
fire alarms and cases of disorder
Iv conduct, and an indeccnt
exposure.

in rooms, another dorm should
be built.
Another Preston resident,
junior Glenn Livingston, said the
additional students may cause
difficulties because the roommates
may not get along. "I
disagree with the whole thing. I
prefer two people."
Some Sims residents said
they're not satisfied with the pro
cess either.
f reshman Nancy Gooding was
the third person assigned to Sims
21N. "They offered me another
room two days before we could
have gotten our refund. The
semester was already more than
halfway over."
Gooding said she dccidcd to
stay at that point in the semester
rather than move, but would
have moved had something opened
up earlier in the semester.
"With three people in a room,
there is limited space. You don't
want to interfere with another
person's things, but sometimes
you have to," said junior Camille
Plyler, one of Gooding's
roommates.
To accommodate the extra person,
another twin bed, desk and
bureau are moved into the room,
Sims residents said.
Third floor east residence ad\iser
Gwen Townsend said if it
were up to her, she would alter
t he system to cause less inconvenience
to returning students.
"1 would give continuing
students the option to pick
preferred roommates," she said.
"The biggest complaint is that
people think there will be two
people, and they come to school
and there's three. Freshmen
don't realize how they have to interact
with nih<*r npnnlc in iho
room.
"If returning students could
pick someone they are compatible
with, it would be a lot
easier."

focused on the TWA hijacking in
Lebanon, but he pointed out that
the media did not keep certain
stories in the spotlight without
help.
President Jimmy Carter made
the Iranian hostage crisis a priority
news story by saying he would
not leave the White House until
the Americans were back in safety,
Greenfield said.
He added that accusations
blaming the media for terrorism
"wild oversimplification. The
Iranians kept the hostages even
after the media had been
expelled.
"This is more true of the lone
psycopath rather than the state
sponsored terrorism," Greenfield
said.
NBC News ha< rorf ntlv
adopted a set of guidelines for
covering other such terrorist
crisis, he said.
"They will not ask hostages
any political questions, and they
will not run any live tape."
