USC News Briefs Office coordinates hurricane relief Hurricane relief efforts of students, faculty and staff at USC are being coordinated through the Office of Community Service Programs. The office is accepting requests for assistance from the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and other organizations and matching members of the university family who want to volunteer their services. "We've had literally hundreds of calls from the university students, faculty and staff wanting to help," said Gail McGrail, coordinator ol community programs. "Many members of the university family have expertise in certain areas and we've been able to match their talents with the needs of several agencies. Most of our requests however, have been for simple manpower assistance." USC's Office of Community Service Programs was created this fall through university funding and a grant from the U.S. Department ol Education. The office links individual students and student organizations with one-time service projects, as well as with on-going volunteer commitments. The office also works with USC faculty and staff volunteers. More than 70 Midlands agencies had registered needs with the office prior to Hurricane Hugo Delozier promoted to associate dean Janice Delozier has been promoted to associate dean for finance in the College of Business Administration at the University of South Carolina.

Violators may receive a sentence of 60 days in jail or a $200 fine or both, Baker said. USC also has a judicial system headed by Jerry Crotty, which deals with infractions on an individual basis. Installment of the boxes began in late June or early July, said Frank Mims, program analyst for Operation Services. Presently there are 16 operational call boxes on campus, Mims said. Eventually, a total of 22 emergency call boxes will be installed, he said. Baker renorted that out of 86 calls, 82 have been false, but four legitimate calls have come in. Those calls came from Thomas Cooper Library, which was a medical emergency, auto larceny, one Hugo Continued fror to Cockfest in order to raise money. Some students cut bread from Kreb's Bakery to be sent to Charleston, and Carolina Cares has collected canned goods and money by leaving boxes around cash registers on campus, McGrail said. Student Government has also been active in helping Hugo victims, S.G. President Marie-Louise Ramsdale said. "We should always try to help those less fortunate than us," Ramsdale said. "If we were in that situation we would want help."

"Jump starts should be phoned in by the telephone," said Baker. Baker said that he was disappointed with the number of prank calls. "Students should realize that every time a box is pushed, the police go to that location on campus. If the call is simply a prank, then you've just taken up an officer's time, which could've been used for a genuine emergency," Baker said. "There's a difference between simply needing assistance and an actual life and death situation," he said. When the call box is activated, police respond in a matter of seconds. Machines are monitored in all locations. "This is serious business," Baker said. "We're not in the business of arresting people, but we will arrest violators of call boxes." n page 1 after Hugo hit, Ramsdale said. During the first week after the hurricane, time was also spent calling students, at the request of Vice President of Student Affairs Dennis Pruitt, to assist in the relief effort being held at the coliseum, she said. Students are still going down on the weekend, and about 70 showed up this past weekend to help. Local businesses have cooperated by furnishing trucks to ship desperately needed supplies to Charleston, Ramsdale said. "Student Government will continue to work with the Community Service Office and do what ever we can," she said. 0SC UNIVER' BOOKSTC RUSSELL HO 1 i MY SI Former co in the USC ttacked n ter the first subject hit forcement t grabbed her purse that Accordin basket by her side and approximat ;r wallet.
