“Victim #4 states he was struck by
unknown persons,” the report said.
The incident, which started at an
Alpha Phi Alpha event, eventually
required officers from both the USC and
Columbia police departments, including
a horseback officer, to stop it.
Maggie McAllister, a Russell
House information desk employee,
told The Gamecock on Thursday that the
fight started when members of Alpha Phi
Alpha performed a skit mocking the
fraternities. '
No arrests were made at the event,
though USC Director of Law
Enforcement and Safety Ernie Ellis said
he wouldn’t speculate on whether any
would be made.
“It would be premature for me to say
that any arrests might be pending,”
Ellis said Thursday.
Pqlice and members of the
Department of Student Life later remained
outside McBryde Quad as Alpha Phi
Alpha’s ceremony wrapped up.
Both USCPD and Greek Life said
Thursday they will investigate the
incident.

This isn't Loew’s first award; he has
also received the McNair scholarship and
is a National Merit Finalist.
Loew hopes to create new
environmental tactics with his research
that might influence future policies of
the Environmental Protection Agency.
The National Science Foundation
l
Award is a $ 16,800 stipend per year for
full-time graduate study. Butts plans to
use his award to conduct research in the
meclianical Ph.D. program at the Georgia
Institute of Technology. Butts has been
offered a graduate research assistantship.
“This award will enable me to pursue
my graduate degree and narrow my
research focus,” Butts said.
These awards could positively affect
the Honors College when it’s time for
students to decide where they want to
go to school, said Peter Sederberg,
de;ui of die Honors College.
“I think that one of the most
important tilings diat we hive is our ability
to point to what our current students can
do. We can compete at the highest
academic standards.” Sederberg said.
“Tliis will justifiably impress prospective
students and their parents.”

intersection laws. It will then compare
this information the number of tickets
given and to the population crime rate
in the areas the stops take place.
Every stop will be monitored by .radio
and with a “Citizen Contact Fonn," to
be completed by every person who gets
stopped.
Students will ride with police to
help determine the percentage of people
stopped whose race can be identified.
“At night, for example, police
officers may not know that the person
they are stopping is white or black or
Hispanic or anything else." Alpert said.
“So we are asking "police officers for
their reasons to stop a particular car."
Karen Parker, from the University
of Florida, will use a Geographic
Information System to place data about
crime rate, population density, population
type mid economics on a map.
“This very complex method is
necessary in order to determine if racial
profiling exists or not,” Alpert said.
He said he tliinks liis study will liave
a great impact on how training and
supervision is done in Dade County.
Alpert also stud he is planning to teach
a class on racial profiling at USC.
"Tlie students can leani what is really
going on in the field of racial profiling
across the country,” he said.
“It speaks to-the quality of our
faculty, being asked to commit this major
national study.”

Introducing new
ONCE-A-MONTH LUNELLE™
Birth control in sync with
THE MOON AND YOU.
The moon is a source of beauty and emotion. For centuries, our
monthly cycle has mirrored the moon's. Now, for the first time,
there's birth control that’s monthly, not daily: new Lunelle.
An injectable that’s 99% effective without the daily hassle.
Lunelle is a combo of hormones that works continuously—all
month long. Given on time each month by your doctor,
prescription Lunelle gives you birth control that's 99% effective.
That means you get monthly pregnancy protection without the
daily hassle—without the daily worry—of taking the Pill. And if
you want to get pregnant? Most women get back to ovulating
about two to three months after receiving their last injection.
Lunelle doesn't protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually
transmitted diseases.
Hormonal Dirtn control isn t tor everyone.
Pregnant women or women with blood clots, chest pain, certain
cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or a history of liver
disease, stroke, or heart attacks shouldn't take Lunelle. Serious
risks that can be life threatening include blood clots, stroke, and
heart attack. And hev, no smoking! It increases these risks.
especially if you're over 35 and smoke 15 or more cigarettes a.dav.
During the first few months of taking Lunelle, most women have
a change in their periods, which may include no bleeding,
irregular bleeding, or spotting. This change may continue with
use in up to one third of women. In studies, while some women
lost weight on Lunelle, the average change was an increase of
4 pounds in the first year. But you should know, some women
gained 10 or more pounds in the first year.
So ask your healthcare professional about new Lunelle.
Why worry about taking a daily Pill when there's monthly Lunelle?
Birth control inspired by the moon.
Lunelle. In sync with the moon and you.
