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 ? The state
Department of Social Services'
problems in supervising child foster
care rests with employees inside
the agency as well as with families,
a legislative panel was told.
DSS caseworkers often are inadequately
trained and families have
no appeal process to the state office
once the local DSS officials have
made a decision, state Sen. David
Thomas said.
The comments came in the first
of a series of public hearings a legislative
review panel is holding
rt of campai
why presidential camps often let
the independent support groups
take the risk of running the more
controversial ads."
There are a few reasons for the
change in campaigning, according
to Cilad.
"The media tue analyzing and
checkinii the truthfulness of the
campaign ads much more than
they were in 1988," Glad said.
" The candidates are more careful
about what they say. The candidates
also realize that the public
doesn't want another "mudslingnd

Enrollment increases s
Enrollment reached 26,138 at ^
USC this fall, up 1.3 percent from
last year. The number of students ^
system-wide rose by 1.5 percent to
42,075, officials said.
The new enrollment fiaures .
reveal trends such as a jump in the
number of students choosing health J
fields, a move that USC admissions
officials link to the nation's uncer- i
tain economy.
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.
A rising number of graduate students
on the Columbia campus also
can be tied to economic jitters.,
