"People go out and buy a $3 lock for a $200 bicycle, when they can get a much safer one for about $20," said Weaver Grayson, university police training officer. "Some inexpensive locks can almost be kicked open," he said. Not chccking on bicycles is like leaving a car around for weeks and weeks, he said. "People walk ^ by and notice that it hasn't been moved. "After awhile, someone might try to take it, but the student won't know for another few weeks if he never checks on it." To promote crime awareness, SAGA Food Corp. and the USC Department of Law Enforcement and Safety is sponsoring campus bicycle registration from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and Thursday in front of Russell House. Registration is free, and SAGA will give out pizza and soft drinks to anyone registering their bicycles. A oermancnt record will be kept by the law en forccment centcr in case the bikes arc lost or stolen, said Bill Baker of USC's Parking and Vehicle Registration Services. Decals will be given out, and engravers will be available to etch social security and serial numbers Books.

Baker said stolen bikes arc difficult to recover because "most often wc find the ones that are stolen arc the ones that aren't registered." Bicycles without dccals arc also stolen more often, he said. About 100 bicycles arc registered each year, he said. This registration is held every semester, but is available any time during the year. About 90 bicycles have been reported stolen during the past fe- years, Grayson said. Most of them were not registered. The thciIf. seem to be seasonal, he said, noting that mo oc. r during Christmas. Mos occur at Capstone Dormitory, Fatterson Hah >atcs House and Bates West, because of such a large concentration of bicycles, Grayson said. "The number has been decreasing because students have been buying U-bolt locks," Grayson said, adding that chain-type locks arc easily cut. To ecourage students to secure their bicycles, Ubolt locks and $350-value insurance for the bike will be sold for about $20. USC's bike committee is trying to gain access to computer services in order to make stolen bikes easier to locate. "We're trying to work on getting the university tied in with the City of Columbia in some kind of computer way to identify lost or stolen bikes," said Kathy Simpson, committee chairwoman. i increased 35 per- The national program is spon the school year sored by the American he previous year, Booksellers Association, th< o information American Library Association e Sept. 12 issue of the American Society of Jour dlletin of the Na- nalists and Authors, the Associa aton of College tion of American Publishers an< the National Association of Col in schools has in- lege Stores. - e-?' - *- 1__ 1 U..

The issue began in the spring when English graduate instructors threatened to teach their classes in the middle of The Horseshoe because they felt they were being overworked and underpaid, due to the larger enrollment. After receiving unanimous support from the faculty, English graduate instructors were promised a $500 a year raise and a reduction in hours. But the university administration refused to negotiate, and the graduate instructors planned to hold a protest in front of President James Holder man's house. The protest was cancelled when the English Department agreed to raise graduate instructor's pay and reduce their workload, according to Dabbs. EGO is "very pleased with the provost's office for responding to the faculty," said Dabbs, a former English graduate instructor.
