Tuesday a student observed a person getting out of his car and entering ano car, rummaging around and emerging v sette tapes. When confronted by the wit ject fled, but was caught and handed over 1 SAFETY continued from page 1 when there is a critical situation, such as a students using illegal drugs in their rooms. Also, residence hall staff members are trained to know when a situation is out of control, such as when residents are not cooperating with the hall staff. At that point the University Police are called to handle the situation. The Division of Law Enforcement and Safety was unable to provide statistics on the number of times they report to residence halls. But for the entire campus, including residence halls and all other areas on campus, University Police reported three rapes, six robberies and 47 total assaults for 1994. In addition to programs designed to encourage safety on campus, the Department of Housing conducts an annual study to see how all students in USC residence halls perceive their living environment. This report includes a section asking students how they feel about safety in the dorm. For 1993,94 percent of students surveyed said they SENATE continued from page 1 also said they will not be renting rooms in local hotels. Shively also discussed a faculty appreciation project.

Up two percent from 1991,25.3 percent were aware of students in their living area who used illegal drugs. The number of students who said they were aware of underage students that drank on their floor was 52.1 percent, down six percent from 1991. Another major concern of safety in residence halls is prank callers. Carl Stokes, director of law enforcement and safety, explained how the University Police handle prank callers. Once a person notifies the police about a suspicious call, the police determine if the call is a simple prank or actual harassment. Then they determine if the call was made from campus. Ifitis an on-campus call it can be easily traced in the university phone system. If the call is not from campus the police work closely with Southern Bell to trace the call. According to Newman, "The staff can only do so much. It is the responsibility of every student on the residence hall to be aware and look out for each other." constituency reports as in the past, senators are now assigned to various committees according to recent action taken by SG Senate. Finally, SG is planning to do a community service project with Habitat for Humanity on Dec. 2. pck at 777*772% w WW m m WW m m m m mm WW WW > : ' : tlfi W?r>f a, s s?0ri1binal 0 superstob St. / 254-2124 WBIA 9, 1995 le witness. day, appare Other areas hit by auto both instant ie were Senate Garage, 700 gj^ the bui St.; the Coliseum Lot; the fl 57, S8, and S18 lots; the Com ;r Services lot and Large f* Blood 1 is Field.

Vaughan, who has worked as a First Responder for three and a half years, said he never knows what to expect when a call comes in. "It's like an adrenaline rush. You don't know what (the dispatcher) is going to say or even if he knows the nature of the call," Vaughan said. "You're never completely sure about the condition of the patient until you get there." Most calls involve injuries at the P.E. center or students who wait too long to see a doctor. To reach the First Responders, Corbin said students should call the police department's 7-9111 number so they can more easily be located. Dialing 9-911 will reach EMS, but the location the dispatcher sees will be USCPD's address. Corbin said First Responders can reach students faster.

"I feel that this sort of programming gives students a different perspective on politics and democracy," said Jamal Franklin, the Ideas and Issues Commissioner for Carolina Productions. "If s not what would be considered a mainstream sort of lecture. I would say it's more of a different type of intellectual opinion that's being expressed by Benjamin Barber. It's more of an abstract view on citizenship and democracy." Franklin also encourages students to attend the lecture.

Last r the USCPD responded to a fight in a lior. The cause of the fight was not revealed. Luke Robinson compiled this report. >ntinued from page 1 "If one of the EMS downtown units is tied up, say on a Saturday morning, it may be eight or 10 minutes before they can get a unit from one of their substations to campus," Corbin said. When a student needs or requests an ambulance, Vaughan said first responders can help make the experience easier. Vaughan said, "It puts the students in more of a receptive frame of mind before the guys with the stretchers get there." Corbin said, "We can answer any questions a student might have about insurance. We have the luxury of being able to take a few minutes and try to comfort and establish some sort of rapport with students." The First Responders service is always available when students are on campus. Franklin said. "I understand that the issues being discussed aren't eye-catching, but they are important." Public forums on related topics will be held through Sunday. Another weekend activity is the showing of "Man Bites Dog" at the Nickelodeon Theatre. This winner of the International Critics Award at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival is a comedy about a philosophical serial killer who is recorded continuously by a documentary film crew. Tickets are $3.50 for members of the Columbia Film Society, $4.50 for students and $5.50 for the general public. For more details about the forum, contact the USC Philosophy Department at 777-4166 or e-mail ANordmann@sc.edu. "I think students will learn more from this perspective because it's not one they hear every day," Franklin said.
