By LYNN GIBSON News Editor About 100 USC students who were arrested by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission this past weekend may face sanctions from the university as well. The ABC, who arrested 130 youths Saturday as they walked to Williams-Brice Stadium, will report the names of USC students to Student Affairs under an ABC policy that was implemented in April. Joe Dorton, chief of enforcement for the ABC, said he didn't know how many of the youths were USC students, but that at their hearing, the judge would ask them where they go to school. "I would estimate about two-thirds, since they were walking from campus to the game," Dorton said. Eight of 17 agents in Columbia for a "saturation operation" this weekend were patrolling the area around the* stadium. "It's true we.don't enforce at the stadium," Dorton said, "but we try to position ourselves where the underage drinkers are." Many of those arrested were walking around with an open container of beer or liquor, he said. Others were arrested after agents searched their bags or coolers. "Under the law, if we have probable cause to believe someone is in violation of a law, we can ask to see what's in their containers," Dorton said. "Of course, you can refuse but if the officer still feels there is probable cause, he can place you under arrest." Those arrested were issued summons in . lieu of being jailed, he added. If convicted rom library stu Library employee, said the perpetrator "has to be a graduate student who has access to the carrells." The carrells in question are located in large rooms on the first, third and mezzanine levels of the library. Users of the carrells have two keys. One key opens the door to the room where their particular carrell is, and the second key opens the door to their individual carrell. The carrells are open at the top and the ? - 'i^V.

And while university officials maintain they will recognize the students who were arrested, they plan to review each case before taking action. "We're going to treat these students just like any other discipline case," Associate Dean of Student Development Jerry Crotty said. "The circumstances of the arrest and their past history will all be taken into account" Under the student policy guide, Carolina Community, students who commit offenses against local, state, or federal laws "may be subject to disciplinary action under university rules when their conduct violates institutional standards" in addition to any punishment thev receive from other authorities "Some students consider this double jeopardy," Crotty said, "but you're actions are accounted for in every community you're a member of. You have to account for each person you care for or who cares for you." He added that depending on the amount of information the ABC gave him, the process could be taxing, but he does not plan on issuing "blanket discipline." S. G. President Stephen Benjamin said the Student Government hadn't yet deve16ped a stand on the new alcohol law or the policy of turning in names, but that it could be on their agenda in the future. "For now, the law may be unfair, and it could need some changes," he said,"but it is still a law and students are expected to comply with it" idy carrells walls do not go all the way to the ground. Davis said the thief would wait until he or she thought he was alone and would simply crawl through the opening at the bottom of the carrell and steal whatever valuables were left there. Most of the stolen objects were books. However, a Hewitt-Packard calculator was taken from a graduate student whose losses See LIBRARY page 2 IE mi.
