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.

Students who entered lottery get
one more chance to receive tickets
By BONNIE DAVIS
Senate reporter
If you were one of the 4,000 students who had their IDs
scanned for the Carolina/Clemson lottery, but didn't
receive a ticket, take heart. 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.

Problems with IDs

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
