Runaways trying to phone a Times Square shelter probably found themselves talking to a pimp who had rerouted the calls to hitn at a bus station as a way to recruit young prostitutes, the shelter's director said. "We have no way of knowing how many kids called that number and got picked up" in the three weeks before the scam was detected, said the Rev. Bruce Ritter, founder and director of Covenant House, which shelters about 200 young people each night. Ritter and his aides said a pimp apparently called a runaway hot line, identified himself as a Covenant House official and said the shelter's phone number had been changed. He gave the hotline the number of a nav ohone at the Port Authority bus terminal thpn waited for calls, Ritter said. Juvenile offenders pack DYS facilities Juvenile offenders in South Carolina face perhaps the worst prison conditions in the nation because of overcrowding and underfunding, state officials say. If conditions don't changc for juvenile offenders, who range in age from 12 to 17, the American Civil Liberties Union may file a suit similar to the one that led to the state being ordered to spend $75 million in construction and improvements to prisons by 1990, said Steven Bates, the state ACLU executive director.

They have been so designated by the IRS and by the state," said Chris Vlahoplus, USC vice president for administration and secretary to the board of trustees. "There are checks and balances. . . There is absolute accountability for foundation funds." Yet the state Legislative Audit Council is questioning the relationships between public colleges and private educational foundations that collcct millions of dollars each year on behalf of South Carolina schools. The money for the state-supported colleges and universities pays for scholarships, research, buildings, equipment and salary supplements for faculty and administrators that state resources can't provide.

The council reached its conclusion after finding that some colleges use state resources to support their foundations, that state money has been diverted into foundation accounts and that foundations provide salary supplements to college presidents and other employees. The council also criticized those universities whose administrators serve or vote on foundation boards or perform foundation duties on state time. "Our major concern is that there be proper business controls and accounting tools for the people who have provided funds to the institution," said George Schrocdcr, audit council director. l egislators need to know how universities spend private funds on specific programs to make wiser decisions on annual state support provided to the institution, Schrocder said. "In general, the public has more confidence ill a state institution thnt nn^rnt^c in the open," he said. "Operating in the dark is not a good idea in a democracy."

Still, any expenses tied to recruiting contributors will remain confidential because the funds used for those purposes will be private. Foundation and college administrators decide how that money will be spent with little state oversight. ) State Auditor Edgar Vaughn said his office has had concerns through the years about colleges providing office space, employee time and other services to foundations free of charge. But schools arc moving away from that practice, he said. "In the early '70s, it was hard to separate institutions and their foundations. That has changed significantly," Vaughn said.
