S.G. wo shuttle i By BONNIE DAVIS Senate reporter Concern over possible Student Government liabilities prevented student senator Marie-Louise Ramsdale from introducing her bill to the Senate proposing the allocation of S.G. funds for the trial run of a Five Points to campus shuttle service. The service is sponsored by the Fraternity and Sorority Councils. The hill. which called for the allocation of $750, was not introduced to the Senate because of the need "to look into liability possibilities," said Ramsdale. Meanwhile, according to Ramsdale, the Fraternity and Sorority Councils will accept responsibility for the trial run of the shuttle which began last night and will continue through Saturday night. "We're doing this out of urgency and necessity ? there's a need," said Ramsdale, who is also the Sorority Council service chairwoman. The Senate did, however, accept by acclamation a resolution supporting the shuttle service and allowing for the S.G. office to be used as a base of operations when the shuttle is in service. In other Senate business, appointments for the Elections Commission were approved.

Most of the vandalism occurred in the Blossom Street garage, according to a USC Department of Law Enforcement and Safety report. Most of the vandalism was on windows broken out of unattended automobiles. Sixteen auto breaking/larceny incidents were also reported. Most of these incidents occurred in campus parking lots. A radar detector and a dashboard radio were stolen in incidents last Friday and Saturday. "This is a real issue on campus," said Danny Baker, vice president for Law Enforcement and Safety. "We are in an urban community and fighting vandalism and thefts to automobiles is a real battle." Part of the problems with vandalism and theft happens because of USC's setting, Baker said. amprnrk , - ? ?
