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.

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.

"Getting your bike registered is a
lot more convenient than losing your
bike," Conant said. "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

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

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.

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.

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.
