Graduates to Explore Moon Dr. Jones also looked into th future to see some of the assigr ments USC graduates might ea pect to: Create techniques and equi[ ment for exploration and exploits Lion of the moon. Design computers and othe machines that will do man's rot tine thinking (artificial intelli gence). Build materials, atom-by-aton of unbelievable strength. and di rability to meet new needs of a expanding society. Conceive, develop and maintai communications systems that sen thousands (perhaps millions) c messages on a pencil-slim bear of light. Curb highway deaths by aut< mation that is a thousand time more dependable than car driver or even the developer of the sy: temn. All this in addition to the ei gineer's more familiar contribi tions to man's environment - work, at home, in recreation. Flexibility Stressed The program will remain su: ficiently flexible so that studeni who wish to obtain a "traditionas engineering degree, "bachelor< science in electrical engineering is an example, may continue to so, at least for the present. It expected, however, that most eng neering students will welcome tI opportunity to study in the high1 advanced areas.

Barry Goldwater's chances for receiving the GOP nomination were "good." Dr. H. Harrison Jenkins, as sociate editor of The Columbia Record and professor of journal - ism at USC, also told the Young GOP club that "these were cru cial times," and that South Caro lina would be a "crucial state" in the 1964 presidential election. In his wide - ranging remarks before some 35 members of the USC chapter, Dr. Jenkins said that the key to a strong GOP was local action. Citing Republican i- wins in North Augusta, George -e town, and, most recently, Green k ville, he said "local, precinct work y can spell the difference between k defeat and victory." y David Rice, president of the : USC Young Republicans presided ir at the meeting. Julian Ratterree. " president of the Richland County Young Republicans, spoke to the n club briefly, welcoming them, anc n offering to assist them in any way. w Idea - Freshmen at the University of South Carolina this fall "will g earn master's degrees about the time man lands on the moon," and each "will reach the peak of his e effectiveness about 20 years from now," he said. Exploration and exploitation of the moon, designed machines for "routine thinking," creating un believably strong and durable ma terials atom-by-atom, curbing r highway deaths through automa tion - these thoughts "which astound our generation" will be "everyday problems in 20 years," Dr. Jones said. n USC Follows MIT Dr. Rufus G. Fellers, dean of n the College of Engineering, said d the reorganization for education in f "engineering science" is "the cul nl mination of a series of steps in this direction which began in 1955 -with a study of the University's s engineering program by professors 5 from Massachusetts Institute of - Technology." After the MIT professors re -ported the results of their study. i- the engineering curriculum at the t University of South Carolina was revised to include more basic science and mathematics, empha -sizing the scientific approach to engineering rather than "more ,routine design and application," as Dean Fellers described it. "Modern Math Included o More recently, the USC engi is neering college put into its cur i- riculum "the most modern under ec graduate mathematics programs" y as a result of recommendations by the Committee on Undergraduate SPrograms in Mathematics for ~t Engineers and Physicists, Dean Fellers said. Engineering science courses have been "unified and reoriented" to n emphasize basic studies common to all engineering specialties, Dr. h, Fellers said.

Hay as instrumental Jordan in the design and building of the pioneering venture. Hay and Viorris are currently associated with S. C. Educational television, having served as WUSC engineers luring their undergraduate days at USC. Varied Programming Programming of the station is varied, with music ranging from Classic to Folk. The station fea .ures CBS and Mutual Network news, as well as United Press In -ernational wire service. To provide the music for the varied programs (see program guide, page 3), WUSC has amassed a large selection of al bums, both popular and classical. Drop-In Planned A campus-wide drop-in to cele brate the achievement is planned for 8 p.m. Wednesday, October 2. in the Confederate Room, Rus sell House. Hosts for the drop-in will be the WUSC executive board, comprised of officers of he station. They are: Graeber Jordan, man iger; Tom Owen, program direc .or; Susan Benjamin, secretary; Ann Holshouser, treasurer; J. L. Kennedy, chief announcer; Milton Holladay, Jr., chief engineer: Doris Rickenbacker, acting Music Director; Clifton Eaton, acting riews director; and Dave Bledsoe, business manager. Student Senate Hlits Drinking At USC Games The USC Student Senate in an other short session, passed a reso lution this week to enforce the state law concerning the consump tion of alcoholic beverages at Carolina Stadium. Senators Chuck Simons and Ann Gray introduced the resolu tion that called for "the coopera tion of each and every student who plans to attend any of the football games this fall." The Senate reminded the stu dent body "that there is a law prohibiting the drinking of alco holic beverages in Carolina Sta dium during any event which night be held there." This law has not been rigidly enforced in the past, but this year the police will see that anyone, student or otherwise, who openly displays alcohol or its effects, will be asked to leave the stadium, said the resolution. Two other resolutions were in troducted in the 20-minute meet ing and sent to committees for further study.
