J 0 ( ftl, 1 Pl 3hou you Help chili receive pi USC has new asst. news editor BRAD WALTERS USCPD is working on a plan to start placing tags on bikes that have not been registered with the Department of Vehicle Management and Parking Services. This plan is being implemented in an effort to remind students they are required to register their bikes. In the case that USCPD finds a bike that has been reported stolen, it can be returned more easily to the owners if it has been registered. USC's Bike Patrol, a group of officers who patrols the campus on bikes to reach places patrol cars cannot, will be responsible for placing the tags on non-registered bikes. According to Richard Conant, head of the faculty senate's safety committee, registering bikes is worth the inconvenience it might cause for some students. Carolina oper news editor SARAH HUSKAMP A new business center, funded by the University of South Carolina and BellSouth, recently opened in the Columbia Metropolitan Airport to provide a variety of services to business travelers and college students. The USC/BellSouth Airport Business Center includes several services geared mainly toward business people, including a free copy machine (for up to 20 copies), free local fax service, six phone bays, digital phones and connections for laptop computers. The center also provides a place for business people to hold conferences, conduct interviews or simply relax, watch television and read the newspaper. While the services provided by the business center are geared toward business travelers, the center welcomes anyone to use the facilities. If the center finds that too many nonprofessionals or nonstudents are abusing the facility, entrance will be restricted. USC's primary role in the business center is to staff the facility and provide a place for travelers to learn more about USC. ing Program s is offering an 8 ested in becoming on of the course, y to apply for >gram.

"Sometimes we have whole racks of bicycles that are stolen." When bikes are registered, a decal is placed on them to discourage theft, and the serial number is recorded and maintained. There is no charge for bikes to be registered for students, faculty or staff. "This is for the students' protection," Conant said "A lot of students lose sight of the fact that you're supposed to register." All bikes which are unclaimed up to two weeks after May graduation will be impounded by USCPD. According to Director of Law Enforcement and Safety Ernie Ellis, students can expect to see this plan "appearing very soon." High-security locks are available for purchase at USCPD for $23. Ellis said that cable or chain locks can easily be broken, and he recomis airport busi It serves as a satellite to the campus Visitor Center and might, in the future, be used for student interviews. The center holds space for displays of the colleges within the university, which will rotate periodically. "I think the center is a great idea because it will expose people to the USC environment," said freshman Summer Harris. The business center was created at the airport's request. Previously, the airport had only one conference room and could not accommodate the high number of requests it was receiving. The airport asked USC to become involved for staffing purposes and to j _ t rnn _ _ n. _ 1. j i_i. _ provide uoo wim a way 10 promote me university. The center is staffed by USC students who are University Ambassador volunteers at the Visitor Center. Kelley Vickery, a graduate student obtaining a master's in public administration, is the manager of the facility. "We want to do this for everyone else," said Vickery. "It helps the university." The center is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 4 to 7 p.m. S Join The Gamecock's Ernie Wiggins fo: jlz you've never c staff, but you alwc to the meeting an Take ou Wednej Enha Earn Custo Technology #holi on Flex Full Adv Knowledge insu Paid Call (I 2340 Success (behir Friday APAC' Equal ( Apply World w bike theft mends students buy the stronger locks for their bikes. Business senior Greg Andrews has not registered his bike and says he probably wouldn't do so even if he found a tag on his bike. "I don't know if I'd take the time to do that," Andrews said. "If the bike had been more expensive of an investment, I would probably register it." Ellis said that the number of bikes reported stolen dropped from 56 in 1996 to 32 in 1997--a decrease of more than 40 percent. According to crime incident reports obtained from TTSCPTV six hikes were reported stolen last week. Only one bike was reported stolen the week before. Students who have not registered their bikes can do so from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Department of Vehicle Management and Parking Services, located at Pendleton Street Garage. Their phone number is 777-5160. ness center On average, the center welcomes 20 to 50 people per day. In the future, BellSouth is planning to install a computer in the facility for those who need to print documents or send and receive e-mail. Two computers will also be available strictly for Internet use. On a temporary basis, the center is allowing use of the computer at the front desk for those who need it. While the arrival date of the new computer is uncertain, the center expects it to be in place for the grand opening on Oct. 28. The center hopes to install monitors for arrivals and departures, but there are no other major plans. "We are waiting to get a sense from users before we proceed," said Denise Wellman, director of the USC Visitor Center.

They received a year's pay and left in January 1994. The jury included six women, including one African-American and two white men. Dealing with another aspect of the case, an earlier jury had returned a verdict in favor of Gentner and Stevenson, and Kelly set the award in that aspect at $150,000 each. The Civil Rights Act under which the two professors brought their suit sets a $200,000 cap on such awards because Cheyney is considered a small employer, said Ludwig. The plaintiffs sought, but failed, to have the State System of Higher Education?which would have qualified as a large employer?made a defendant. Even if the judge trims the award, said Ludwig, Cheyney still could appeal to have the entire verdict overturned. He said no decision has been reached on what action to take.
