Student vote drive proves successful A three-week campus voter regis- tration drive accounted for nearly one third of an estimated 11,000 Franklin County residents who registered to vote in a recent county-wide effort. The Undergraduate Student Gov- ernment tUSGl and the Ohio Student Association lOSAl registered 3,500 students in the drive which ended Saturday. The drive peaked last week as USG members staffed a registration booth on the Oval. They also set up registration tables in campus dining halls Thursday evening and regis- tered 1,000 dorm residents. The extra effort in the dorms made a big difference. said Nancy Taglione, USG legislative affairs di- rector and OSA president. The dorm effort gave the drive an extra push, making it a success, she said. About 2,500 students registered in an on-campus drive last year. USG members are to call students who registered during the drive and remind them to vote. she said. They also plan to post fliers on campus to remind those who registered to get out and vote.

Some people question whether or not students are qualified to evaluate UR VOICE FROM: 0 CITY COUNCIL teachers and others obiect to publica. tion of the evaluation results. USG to ask council for campus patrol USG members investigating the re- cent South Campus area arsons have discovered that area citizen's crime patrol units do not patrol the south campus area. where the arsons have been most prevalent. Chuck Numbers, director of com- munications for USG. said the Citi- zen's Crime Reporting Project on campus covers the area between Lane and 11th avenues in the High Street area. The Franklin CountyI Prosecuting Attorneys Office is cosponsoring a Neighborhood Crime Alert. but Bill Owen from that office said they had not yet recruited volun- teers for the south campus area. This leaves eighth. ninth and 10th avenues unpatrolled by citizen crime patrols right where they are needed most, said USG President Malcolm Taatte. Twenty days have elapsed since the last of the 10 arsons occurred. Arsons have plagued the South Campus area since June 14.
