Police look for killers CENTRAL ? Detectives are looking for clues to a killer who eould he responsible for the death of a Clemson University graduate student and the 1988 unsolved murder of an Easley teacher. Detectives are "operating under the assumption that the two murders are connected," said Oconee County Chief Deputy James Singleton. Police refrained last week from linking the deaths of Norsaadah Husain of Central, whose body was found last week, and Daisy Ruth Moore Snider, the teacher whose body was found by the roadside in 1988. But the string of similarities in the cases has prompted them to conclude that one person may have committed both crimes. Employees DSS problem COLUMBIA ?

USC's college of nursing.had a 28.4 percent enrollment increase and the college of pharmacy has 22.7 percent more students than in 1991.
