USC geologist to study
earthquake activity in S.C.
A USC geology professor has
been awarded a $114,900 Department
of Energy grant to pinpoint

Carolina's coastal plain.
Pradeep Talwani said the
results of his study will enable
researchers to evaluate much
more accurately seismic hazards
in the Southeast.
Historically, South Carolina
has had the most earthquake activity
in the Southeast.
Talwani will look at subsurface
structures such as faults and
basins from Augusta to
Charleston.

Activists receive
$50,000 settlement
COLUMBIA (AP) ? Civil
rights activists say officials in
state government should learn a
lesson from the Budget and Control
Board's agreement to pay
$50,000 to settle a lawsuit over a
sign ban.
The lawsuit challenged the
budget board's decision to bar a
sign from the State House
grounds that protested the use of
state National Guard troops in
Central America.
The settlement, announced
Monday, "ought to be enough to
deter government officials in the
future from arbitrarily suspending
the Constitution and the First
Amendment," said Steven Bates,
director of the American Civil
Liberties Union in South
Carolina.
State hears concerns
about GSX landfill
SUMTER (AP) ? State officials
don't expect to decide until
spring whether to issue a permanent
permit for the GSX hazardous
waste landfill, and they say
the vocal opposition to the license
is no surprise.
A public hearing on the permit
Monday night in Sumter drew an
angry, boisterous crowd of some
2,000 that jeered the site's
operators and regulators.
The public comment period for
the permit closes Nov. 24. Bob
King, assistant deputy commissioner
for the state Department of
Health and Enviromental Control,
said the agency will not make
a decision on the permit until
sometime after March.

USC hopes to draw 2,001 pints of blood
from students during this week's fourth annual
Carolina/Clemson Blood Drive.
The blood drive, sponsored by USC's
sororities and fraternities, is being held in the
Russell House Ballroom and is open to the
public. The drive began Tuesday and will
continue through Thursday.
Student Government Sen. Marie Louise
Ramsdale said USC's goal of 2,001 pints of
blood is in keeping with USC President
James Holderman's 2001 theme for the
university.
By the year 2001, Holderman hopes USC
will be among the top universities in the nation.
The figure was also considered a
realistic goal in light of last year's donation
total of 1,500 pints, Ramsdale said.
The American Red Cross said the theme of
the drive is that giving blood is a "Cocky
thing to do."
The blood drive was officially opened at

Sharon Duke, public affairs director of

not plan to give blood because he donated to
USC last year. To be fair, he will donate to
Clemson this year.
Theodore's staff, however, plans to give
blood to USC.

Task force
to examine
proposals
I By KRIS TAYLOR
Staff writer
f Two proposals for a new transportation system to and
I from Five Points will be made to the Student Government
Safety Task Force this week, a spokesman said.
The task force, created in September after a Five Points
I shuttle system was discontinued, was divided into two
I subcommittees that each researched a different shuttle
(system option, task force Chairman Patrick Smith said.
S.G. Sen. Marie Louise Ramsdale was in charge of formulating
a new bus system.
Her proposal consists of renting a 14-passenger van
from a local company. The cost, including salary for a
? driver, would be $1,000 a month.
Liability would be covered by the van company, accorI
ding to the proposal.
"The one (company) we're looking at has a $1 million
insurance policy. We would be covered under that,"
Ramsdale said.
The van would run from 11 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. with
pick-ups every hour at several different Five Points locations.
These locations would be Greenstreets, Circle K,
Eckerd Drugs, Crazy Zack's on Harden Street, Muldoon's
on Main Street, and Club 131 on Lady Street.
The van would deliver students to any residence hall on
campus as well as a few Shuttlecock stops convenient for
off-campus students.
If her proposal is chosen by the task force, Ramsdale
1 said she would seek volunteer financial support from
i campus organizations. She would also try to form a group
to escort students from the van to the inside of the
I residence hall.
i The alternate system to be proposed by Tim Burke,
president pro tempore of the S.G. Senate, involves a taxi
system. USC students could present vouchers for a free
, riae.
1 "Our committee's proposal is that we draw up a legal
r and binding contract with a taxi company," Burke said.
If the taxi system is approved, S.G. will have to decide
; on specifics, such as who will provide the vouchers, when
they can be used and what the radius will be for pick-up
l locations.
"This is just a proposal," he said. "We don't have the
I final contract because we don't know if the task force will
I choose the taxi system. If they (the task force) do choose
r the taxi system, we'll work with the legal department to
: write up the official contract."
The task force is expected to meet sometime next week
and choose a plan. The approved plan will then go before
I the Student Senate for approval.
1 Once approved, the program should be paid for by the
S.G. safety allotment fund, Smith said.
