survey

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.

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. A press
