Kelly dropped a pass that could have given the Gamecocks a victory. Safety from page 1 nant said. “She [the city head] also complained that cars tend to speed up on Sumter Street and run the red light, so you are talking about perhaps increased enforcement.” The committee also discussed the upcom ing safety events, which will start Friday. Stu dent Government Cabinet members Jeb Bush and Candace Braddock have planned three events, including Night Out on Friday and Nov. 6, and the Safety Whlk on Nov. 10. For Night Out, SG members will be sta tioned at various places around campus from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., handing out fliers to students who are walking alone and encouraging them to use sense and caution. The Safety Walk starts at 9 p.m. Nov. 10. The SG will send letters to organizations ask ing them if they’d like to participate. During the walk, students and faculty members will determine a campus standard for lighting using light meters so that most areas of campus will have the same amount of light. Garbade also brought up the idea of hav ing a scavenger hunt to encourage students to find call boxes. The committee discussed possibly giving the call boxes numbers and hav ing students find and record the locations of the numbered boxes. Malik Husser, SG president, then discussed the current stage of development of Safe Ride, a program that would shuttle students around campus and to Five Points. “We’ve got some friction from adminis tration; the main thing is the stop in Five Points,” Husser said. “I think what individuals are considering is we’re promoting alcoholism.” However, Husser said that under Safe Ride, stu dents would be shuttled to many different ar eas of campus, not just from Five Points to the Russell House. “It’s just that Five Points is one of the stops because during those nights, it’s a location where students are found,” Husser said. “Wfe are go ing to try to get the administration to under stand that Safe Ride is a vehicle of safety [for the whole campus].” Mims suggested using the Columbia trol leys as a means of transportation. Pharmacy from page 1 tions. The patients’ problems change as the students progress in pharmacy studies. The students have other duties besides the routine medical tests. They must also follow their patients through emeigency medical procedures, hospitalizations and main tenance of health problems at home. Students also leant about herbal medications. “I’m being exposed to questions about patients that I probably would not encounter until I was actually work ing,” said Mandy Shealy, who wants to one day own her own pharmacy. “We learn how to relate to people. “Even though our patients are virtual, we are learn ing to communicate in layman’s language,” she said. Shealy said one of her infant patients had to take flu oride drops because the family lives in a rural area and has u/pli watpr “This is a situation that I never would have imagined without this class,” Shealy said. “But it is a problem that I easily could have encountered as a pharmacist.” Fuhrman said students are meeting the challenges of the class. The class is made possible through a $125,000 cur riculum development grant, awarded last year by Procter & Gamble to the College of Pharmacy. Fuhrman said the virtual family concept, which might become a national model for pharmacy education, will help students move more easily from the classroom to the workplace. “This will help our students have confidence in what they know and can do,” Fuhrman said.

We want to maintain as safe an environment as possible.” Nevertheless, some students question the inspections’ effectiveness. “It’s a waste of time,” sophomore David Kelliher said. “The people that per form the health and safety inspections truly don’t care about the students’ well being.” Biology sophomore Scott Dover agreed that the inspections are pointless. “The inspections are worthless,” he said. “They’re not thorough, and students who have violations hide them to avoid any ramifications.” Get Turned On event hotline: 777-7131 With www.sa.sc.edu/cp € oT*OllIl^i Productions THIS WEEK Last Lecture Series “Trope of the Trek” Dr. Carolyn Matalene of the English Dept.
