Richter said he plans to meet with Chaikin in Washington after talking to Anders. "Probably by the middle of next week we'll be in a lot better posture to know what's what about it," he said. Last week, Chaikin told The Greenville News he would cooperate with the SLED investigation. But Richter declined to say specifically whether Chaikin still was willing to be interviewed. "In all seriousness, he only wants to do what's right. And he's waiting for me or someone else to help him understand how this process works and what is fairly required of him," the attorney said. "But I'm not able to commit for him one way or the other right now," he said. "He hasn't decided what he's going to do." SLED Chief Robert Stewart announced Oct. 20 that his agency would conduct a preliminary inquiry into Chaikin's allegations. At the time Stewart said he eynerted the probe would take about two weeks. The probe, which was begun at Anders' request, has taken longer than expected partly because of the number of people interviewed, the solicitor said. "Of course, we had to go as far away as Texas and other places to interview people," said Anders. "We've been doing extensive interviews. "We want to be fair all the way around.

There are still about 100 tickets available for students. About 100 tickets were left over from the lottery, said student Sen. Berkeley Grier, chairman .of the Athletic Committee. "People just didn't pick them up," she said. Only students who had their IDs scanned for the original lottery will have the opportunity to get tickets. Five lists of 100 numbers will be drawn up from the remaining scanned ID numbers. These lists will be posted by noon Tuesday in the Student Government office window. Tickets will be available for pick-up on Nov. 11 in the Russell House lobby from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each list of numbers will be run through for an hour and a half period, starting with list one from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. To claim a ticket, students must present their IDs and $18 cash. "We're just making sure tickets are used by students. It's only fair," Grier said. Grier also said 400 tickets remain for the Florida State game after distribution, which ended Wednesday. Tickets will be available Saturday starting at 1 p.m. until halftime at the student ticket window at Williams-Brice Stadium. Any fee-paying student with a valid student ID who didn't get a ticket can pick one up Saturday. Validations for non-student tickets will be available for $16 cash. Controversy arose in the Senate Wednesday over how to dispense the money in a newly formed safety contingency fund of $9,078. The special fund was recently approved as part of the total finance bill with the understanding that it be used specifically for any safety projects the Senate wished to fund. When the finance bill was approved, however, no provisions were made for the requesting and allocation of funds. "The money was designated for any safety project. There were no strings attached," said Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Alton Hyatt. This Senate oversight was revealed when Sen. Hyatt presented a request from Alpha Phi Omega for $250 to purchase a sign for the top of their escort car. Sen. Harry Sharp opposed the request. His disagreement wasn't over whether APO's request was a valid safety project, he said, but whether the Finance Committee could allocate the money in the form of a request and not in the form of a bill. Approving the money as a request would set a bad precedent, Sharp said. Senate adviser Woody Carothers said he believed the safety fund debate was constructive and brought out valid points on both sides of the issue. A bill dealing with the safety contingency fund will probably be brought before the Senate next week. A formal bill for APO's request also should be introduced. - widespread Problems with IDs [?usmer X^j5||C\ First of two parts before they can get cards. "We've got to educate the students first and then enforce the new regulations," she said. Another major problem is that students often have bad attitudes and fail to take responsibility for their ID cards, Woollen said. "They don't realize how important they are," she said. "They lose them, wash them, bend them, et cetera. Students just don't take care of their cards." She said such abuse occurs during football ticket distribution when students give their IDs to someone else to get a ticket and never see tneir ids again. "We literally have lines down here on Mondays," she said, adding that the lines include "students whose IDs won't scan or haven't been returned, and they want a new one so they can get a ticket. "Someone needs to impress on students the idea that they should not lend their IDs to anyone," she said. "It is not safe." Mondays also mean dealing with IDs confiscated at the previous weekend's game, Ritter said. The IDs are collected by stadium security and then turned over to the office of student discipline. She said 182 IDs have been confiscated already this season. "Ironically, we have collected fewer IDs at the bigSee CARDS page 2
