S.G. wo

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. Gary Malphrus, who

Twenty-six vandalism incidents to
vehicles on campus were reported
during the first three weeks of
school.
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.
