By DEBORAH RYAN
Staff Writer
The Community Risk Reduction Award For the
Prevention of Violent Crimes Against Women and
Children was presented to USC Tuesday by the Coalition
to Take Back the Night
Student Government President Marie-Louise
Ramsdale and Women Students' Services Coordina
tor Leigh Stanton were there to accept the award.
The award was presented to the university because
USC has done so much to improve safety in the community,
said Noccalula Moon, coalition president.
USC has implemented programs that focus on risk
reduction and raising awareness about violence
against women, she said.
Recent improvements include the installation of 26
emergency call boxes, which provide a direct line to
the police station, and more campus lighting, Ramsdale
said.
"Over the past few years more than $200,000
worth of new lighting has been installed on campus
and a Lightways map, currently in publication, will

ety programs
show people the best lit paths to take around campus
at night," she said.
Harriet Gardin Fields, who presented the award,
said USC's community contributions include sponsoring
a fundraiser for Rape Crisis Network as part
or campus sexual Assault Awareness weeK.
Also, a Five Points safety campaign with the Five
Points Merchants' Association offers tips, such as
never walking home alone, to remind students and
the Columbia community of risk reduction.
Additional safety improvements are building security,
security desk sign-in, self-defense classes, security
escort to and from employee and student cars
and child care on the premises.
Implementing the programs and safety features
wasn't too difficult because people listened once they
knew there was a problem, Ramsdale said.
There are hopes to continue improving safety on
campus, Ramsdale said. The safety committee is a
permanent, ongoing group that will continue to address
the safety concerns of students, faculty and
staff when she is no longer at USC, she said.

Evacuatior
When Charleston residents consider
Hugo's huge spand of damage,
they still cringe. "There's going
to be some real devastation
when we get back. Now I'm starting
to remember some of the valuables
I left down there," Grabowski
said."
Looting is no worry for College
of Charleston sophomores Catherine
Orrell and Courtney Sklarz.
"Our place is so ugly no one will
come near it," Courtney said of
their apartment, which is three

looked out the door again.
While volunteers rushed around
helping incoming evacuees, the
evacuees themselves looked for a
remote space of their own on the
cold, hard coliseum floor and tried
to get their minds together.
Most storm victims had come up
from the coast, from Charleston,
Myrtle Beach and the barrier islands
that line the southern coast
of South Carolina.
One of the more hapless victims
to come to the coliseum was
24-year-old Keith Covington of
Myrtle Beach.
Stuck in the storm's path with
no car, Hugo nipping at his heels,
Covington knew he would have to
hitchhike. As the coastal exodus
began, the only thing Covington
could do was hope for some sign
of kindness from another evacuee
with wheels.
He got lucky.
A group of guys picked him up
in their 1989 GMC pickup. He

road and get back," OrreU said.
Dan Nowell of downtown Charleston
makes a point not to think
about what he'll find at home. "It
doesn't do any good to worry. I'll
wait until I get there and see
what's what We can't help but expect
the worst, but I'm hoping I'll j
be pleasantly surprised," he said.
Arlene Blaha, a registered nurse

how many USC students volunteered
to help out "No one told ;

"Man, it was pretty hairy," a
