S.C. citizen hurricane's * "* By The Associated Press CHARLESTON ? South Carolinians, each their own way, will mark the anniversary of the stat worst hurricane in more than two centuries. For some, remembering the night Hurricane Hu smashed ashore will be a time of quiet reflecti< Others will simply try to forget. Still others will atte diversions ranging from a golf exposition to a gcx bye Hugo celebration. "I don't think there's a correct way or a good w for any one person" to deal with the anniversary, si family counselor Bob Boston. "I've heard some pe pie say they've worked it out and don't want to U about it. There are others who have some memor they want to share, and it feels good when they do." Hurricane Hugo smashed ashore a year ago Frid; Its-135 mph winds and 19-foot storm surge caused estimated $5.9 billion damage and left 29 people de; Officials say the last storm with the power of Hu hit South Carolina in 1752. A year after Hugo, many of the physical scars ha faded. But the emotional healing will take time. Boston said people heal in their own way. Soi may find they still have unresolved feelings a year two from now. He said there is comfort in the remembering and the flurry of news coverage surrounding t anniversary. "Having a week to remember is a real benefit to t people and the community," he said. "Those w don't need to remember aren't going to be hurt by They at worse might be a little bored and turn it o But many people will do the reflecting they need do." Campus crim By College Press Services While the murders of five college students in < ' ' Gainesville, Fla. within three days of the last 1 week of August was unusual, crime watchers s ' say murder is a more common crime on campuses nationwide than most people think. 1 Hard statistics are difficult to find, but crime c observers say they have been surprised by the c results of several recent studies of the problem. 1 'The rate of victimization is higher than any- t ' one had known," said Jan Sherrill of the Campus Violence Prevention Center, based at Mary- i land's Towson State University. F ' Though people have not been studying the i phenomenon for long, some statistics seem to s "show an increase" in murders and other violent v crime at colleges across the country, added Clarinda Raymond, Sherrill's colleague at a Towson. Moreover, Raymond said, the murderers are si 1 often other students. d "I guess we cannot rule out that the Florida murders were committed by a student," Ray- T - mond said. b On Sept. 1, police arrested Edward Lewis d Humphrey, 18, a University of Rorida fresh- U man, for questioning. Police added that they v might have other suspects in the off-campus murders of three UF and two Santa Fe Com- 01 munity College students. c< < F Police found the bodies of 17-year-old bi Christina Powell and her roommate, 18-year-old ci Sonja Larson, in their apartment Aug. 26. Both p< UF freshmen were partially nude and had been stabbed. si Eight hours later police found the stabbed, st decapitated body of Christa Leigh Hoyt, a Santa pi Fe student, in her apartment.
