t The Gamecock Founded 1908 Monday Volume 79, No. 81 University of South Carolina April 27, 1987 Caller conducts J * rvKcnano survey _ By SEAN REEFER News reporter Recent obscene telephone calls from a person claiming to be a , student conducting a survey for USC's psychology department have been made all over the state. But the surveys are not being conducted by anyone associated with the psychology department, said department chairman Lester * Leiton. Calls such as these often start out like a legitimate survey, said Danny Baker, assistant vice president of USC's division of law enforcement and safety. "They get the person to bite, then they start to get personal," he said. Although few of these calls occurred on campus, other obscene calls do. he said. Often oeoDle will dial a 111 number and add four other digits, asking what number they reached. Baker said people should not give their telephone number to a person who dialed a wrong number, . since callers may be looking for a victim to continue to call. The office of law enforcement and safety publishes a pamphlet I titled, "It's 3 a.m. and the phone r i ngs. . . AG AIN !'' which outlines how to handle an obscene or crank call. Students should remember that the person who answers the phone is under no obligation not to hang up, Baker said. Obscene or crank calls should be reported ^ to USC police or the telephone company. The telephone company can trace calls to find out who made obscene or crank calls. Jim Crawford, assistant manager of the annoyance call center, said repeat callers are the ones most often caught. "One-shot callers are nearly impossible to catch," he said. Making an obscene telephone rail is rmnishahle as a misde \ meanor under state law, and a violator could serve up to 10 years if convicted. The annoyance call center receives 30,000 complaints a year ? 20 percent of which are obscene or crank calls. Normally, only three to four reports a month come from the USC campus. j Handicap I * ujith hiiil TV W ? By ELEANOR A.

I They were in the nation's capital with about 150,000 others from the eastern United States to participate in the National Mobilization for Justice and Peace. Another rally was held in San Francisco with about 30,000 participants, Greenville's The News reported Sunday. "I feel the issues are to show that we want peace," said psychology junior Teresa Jacobs, echoing the sentiments of many on the bus. "We want Congress to stop funding money to the contras, and we want an end to apartheid in South Africa." Apartheid is South Africa's policy of segregating blacks and people of mixed racial ancestry from whites. The contras are U.S.-backed rebels in Nicaragua. The rally began at 9:30 a.m. at the Ellipse across from the Washington Monument.

The march to the Capitol began at 12:30 p.m. Thousands of protestors began their march from the Ellipse at 17th and E streets, passing in front of the Whitp Hrtncp r?n Ppnncvl v^nia Avenue to the west side of the Capitol. There, Jesse Jackson, Ed Asner, and Pallo Jordan of the anti-apartheid African National Congress, spoke to the crowd. Musicians such as Jackson Browne, Stetsasonic and Holly Near also performed during the afternoon rally. The USC group stayed at the Ellipse for two hours, waiting to participate in the rally. While waiting to march to the Capitol, the crowd danced in the mud and rain to the music of Hot Cold Sweat, singing and chanting.
