Locks, registratioi
) By ED YOUNG
News reporter
Students with bicycles should invest in higher
quality locks and check their bikes from time to
time to discourage theft, according to a member of
the University Police Department.
"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

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.

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.

Pay raise, shorti
- I
pleases tngnsn
By LIZ STANOAFER
Newt reporter
English graduate instructors are content with the
pay raise and reduction in teaching hours they
received last semester, according to Tom Dabbs,
president of the English Graduate Organization.
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.

"The feeling last year was that the department
was going to sink," he said. ;
Dabbs said USC was in violation of the South
Carolina Commission of . .igher Ldueation last year
because more than 25 "tudents were allowed to j
enroll in English 102 classes. No freshman English
course will be over-enrolled this term, he said.;
I his year English graduate instructors will tcach j
three classes, rather than the tour coursed they j
taught in previous years. ' !
Most graduate instructors will teach two courses
in the fall and one during the spring, he said. !
The number of English 101 sections offercd;this ;
spring will be reduced because of the !red?ced j
number of sections for all freshman 'fenglish i
courses, said David Morris of the freshmen English !

"EGO i committed to making the -English I
Department he best it can be," Dabbs said. He ad- j
