Dr. Pradeep Talwani, a professor in USC's department of geological sciences who specializes in South Carolina's seismic activity, says the 1886 quake followed a pattern of tremors of similar magnitude that have shaken the South Carolina costal plain on a fairly regular basis for the past 6,000 years. According to Talwani's research paper, "Prehistoric Earthquakes in the South Carolina Coastal Plain," presented Oct. 30 at the Geological Society of America's annual meeting in Denver, evidence CRIME continued from page 1 fearful of crime, when younger people are more at risk," Stephens said in a press release. "Most street crimes involve young people, both as the perpetrators of crimes and as the victims. Older people are more fearful of crime because they are more likely to watch crime on television, which makes them feel more vulnerable."

Margarita w/Coupon i (Limit two per customer) j I listory of eart suggests the Charleston area has endured at least seven earthquakes of magnitude seven or higher in the past 6,000 years. Evidence gathered by the U.S. Geological Survey and Ebasco Services, together with USC, further suggests that the effects of these massive quakes were concentrated primarily in the area that is now South Carolina. Both Georgia and North Carolina are free of the overwhelming prehistoric evidence present in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Talwani based his research on the existence of "sand blows," basins created when sand and water are forced up through the ground during major earthquakes. These sand blows become crime, with 59 percent of men saying they felt crime had increased and nearly 59 percent of women agreeing. The report found a dramatic' disparity between men's and women's concerns about personal safety, however. According to the study, 74.5 percent of men were more concerned about their personal safety than they were five years ago, while 87 percent of women reported being more concerned about personal safety. j "ma \ (XA \ V I ?L \ I International & Powerful.

Uarbon dating ot tne sand blows indicates seven points in time over the past 6,000 years, each point representing a major earthquake. Discounting the 1886 quake, they are, approximately, 1500 AD, 950 AD, 300 AD, 1700 BC, 3200 BC and 4000 BC. However, not every major earthquake would leave a trail of sand blows, Talwani said. Because of evolutionary changes in South Carolina's coastal groundwater characteristics through the years, certain time periods are not conductive to sandWhat makes that interesting is that women and the elderly are the least likely victims of violent crime, Stephens said. "People do hear a lot about so and so being shot on Decker Boulevard and who was murdered when," graduate student Mike Moore said. "The media does blow things out of proportion and that's what takes up the first 15 minutes of every afternoon news show and the front pages of every newspaper." ft )'pJa rar-i or Hpat novzmr Growth Firms i [pensive Job Search Tool | $14.! tailings ployers , Re: Nos. in one of the e United States. i iurfing L ig Kahui you're an experienced Is ut, the Student's Guide to urce that can help you g< las to offer.

The 2,000year period from about 1700 BC to 300 AD, for example, yielded no evidence of sand blows, Tahvani said, but that doesn't mean uut ui mure majur quatt.es uiu nut occur. Using as a model the sand blows created by the 1886 earthquake, Talwani studied others along the South Carolina coast and searched in Georgia and North Carolina as well. Carbon dating techniques enabled him to make time connections between sand blows, some of which were more than 100 miles apart, thus leading him to conclude they were caused by the same massive earthquake. ^ Correction In Wednesday's edition, Tau Kappa Epsilon sponsored the pumpkin carving.
