Call boxes, Lig
among S.G.'s s
By KELLY C. THOMAS
News Editor
* ?r? u:
/\ saier unupus is mgu uu uiv
list of priorities for Student Government,
an S.G. official said.
S.G. President Marie-Louise
Ramsdale said there are many
plans in the workings that will
help move the university closer to
this goal.
One of Ramsdale's pet plans, installing
emergency call boxes
campus-wide, is nearing
completion. >
She said there are 15 call boxes
already installed at different locations
on campus. Eight of these become
operational today, and the
rest will be activated later this
week.
"Right now, any call box that is
not covered up is operational,"
Ramsdale said. "If it is covered
with plastic or paper, it has not yet
been activated."
She said the boxes are all
equipped with a direct-line button
that, when pressed, will hook the
box up with the university police
department's new emergency number,
7-9111.
"Even if a person is unable to
speak after he presses the button,
the police will know exactly where
he is and will dispatch officers to
the scene immediately," Ramsdale
said.

She said she realizes there will
probably be some vandals and
pranksters who will misuse the call
boxes, but that anyone found tampering
with a call box without
good reason will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law.
Each box will be accompanied
by a sign stating that misuse of the
equipment is in violation of state
statutes and that disciplinary action
will be taken. Ramsdale said.
She also said that these boxes
are very sturdy and, in many cases,
can still be operated even if they
are damaged.
Frank Mims of Operational Services
said there will be 22 call
boxes in all installed this year,
covering the campus at strategic
locations.
He said the housing office will
be placing one box in Thornwell
and three others in the Towers during
the year. These will be
equipped with touch-tone dialing
and may replace the house phones Eight

Students and faculty may find it
more difficult to gain access to the
Blossom Street parking garage because
of an increase in security, a
university law enforcement official
said.
"There has always been 24-hour
security on campus, all we're planning
to do is enhance the security
in the Blossom Street garage," said
Danny Baker, assistant vice president
for Law Enforcement and
Safety.
Baker said access to some sections
of the garage will be limited
to prevent crimes from occurring.
"The entrance and exit to the
Marion Street side of the garage
will be closed. An officer will be
assigned to the Sumter Street side
of the garage, as well as to the
ramp," he said.
He said the sixth level pedestrian
door will be locked after midnight
and on weekends.
Criminals do not have to be in
vehicles to get into the garage and
steal cars. That was one reason for
increasing security even at the
pedestrian entrances, he said.
Baker said students should not
be surprised if they cannot get into
the Blossom Street garage without
valid student identification cards.

"But when you increase security,
you need to be concerned
about some ot tne inconveniences
that come along with it," Baker
said. "We are going to keep an
open mind about the increase in
security and stay open to
modifications."
Hanging tags will soon be required
on the rear-view mirror of
vehicles parked in the garage.
Baker said they have not been
issued yet, but will be shortly.
Decals are already required on
the rear bumper of vehicles parked
in the garage.
Much of the money raised from
the increase in parking fees will be
used for security, including an increase
in manpower, Baker said.
He said the law enforcement department
is also going to monitor
parking safety in other areas of
campus such as the Pit and the
Pendleton Street garage and devise
feasible security systems for these
areas.
"We don't want to get too spe
cific with all of our plans for campus
security, because we do not
want criminals to be too prepared.
They read the newspaper also," he
said.
