Book exchange, GREG RtCKABAUGH Staff Writer ] Student Government President Brian Comer outlined his accom- ' plishments and goals for the coming year during his address to the Student Senate Wednesday in the Russell House Theater. Comer said a bulletin board could be a way to establish a book exchange system to help students reduce their textbook costs. He also offered the possibility of hooking a book exchange program into the USC computer system. "(We could) get a bulletin board on the backbone of the university system so you could go to a terminal across campus and type in what you want to sell or buy and it would show up across campus," Comer said, adding they are still looking into it. Also, because of the success of closing Devine Street between the science building and the Towers, student government is working on closing a portion of College Street between the new music building and the Plaza parking *] I si PENfl I applications i i i person. e come by the 9 of the Russell wolications is 994 by 5:00 pm.

"The university historically has spent a lot of money on fund raising, don't have a lot of people involve) fund raising," Rex explained.

Comer's hope to get a voting student member on the board of trustees ran into a few problems that make him hesitant in pursuing the issue, be said. Comer said he was pushed by the branch campuses to rotate the potential student representation on the board. "I personally don't feel comfortable with someone from USC-Beaufort or USC-Salkehatchie representing the entire system on the board of trustees," Comer said. About 75 percent of the system runas come to uou-^oiumDia, wnne more than half of the students attend this campus, Comer said. Also, the state legislature would have to change the makeup of the board in order to get a student voting member, and Comer said he received an indication from incumbents thai higher education issues would not b? examined until the restructuring issues in the state were resolved.

"It is the victim's right to have an advocate in there [the hospital room] in case questions get too tough. The job of an advocate is to assure that judgment is not passed on the victim. The victims need to know it's not their fault." Dougherty said she sits with survivors as they are interviewed by police, investigators and the doctor. Some police want to talk to the survivor alone, she said. ( "If s really hard, standing outside the ' room, hearing the questioning and knowing how they twist the questions," she said. Dougherty said the calls are hard on the volunteers emotionally. "They provide emotional support and information so survivors can make informed decisions," Jordan said.
