After a little less than an hour's debate the hill was sent hack to the Faculty Advisory Committee for further study and revision. Opinions on , hy the proposal hit a faculty snag were many and varied-opposition to sep arating disciplinary and aca demic records, a feeling that some organizations by nature could not comply with a provi sion for no exclusion from or ganizations on basis of race. Some faculty felt the hill (of ficially titled the Student IBill of lRights and Responsibilities Within the Academic Community) is all rights and no responsibilities. Some ()ined that numerous typographical and phrasing errors tended to create disfavor for the effort. One administrative s o u r c e commented, "It seemed as if all the opponents turned out for the meeting, and many that I know are in support of the bill stayed home." USC Senior Vice President Wil Iiam Patterson suggested there were many criticisms-some over wording, syntax, impilication-and expressed concern that the pro posal not he abandoned. "If sme'g hi:e this is not done, we will have created a real schism between administration and students," the vice president com mented. "We must find some com mon ground.'' Another Patterson, Dr. Rob ert B., is an associate profes sor in the Department of Iis tory and president of the USC chapter of the American As sociation of University Profes sors. (A national AAUP Bill of Rights was one of the bases for the Carolina document.) "It's unfortunate that so much work-cooperative efforts between tudlents and faculty-should re eive this rebuff," he said. The AAUP president commented he thought passage of the hill would represent a constructive step in statement of principle: 'Today when the dignity of indi viduals is being so invaded, state ments such as this one have a way f adjusting our technological world and making man more than : hole in a punlched card." Patterson said he believes t Part of the document's lack of r success canl be at tribut ed to con- r (lit ion of the bill, presented toy the faculty withI many typogra p)hical errors and phrasiing de fi cien cies'. '"These erriors gav e an opening to) some individuals who oh'jrted c to some of the pirincipals in thet bill,'' he commented. "It's i had. rof its: $ repeatedly that "this -10 per' cenit rep)resents the dliffe'rence in co: t price~ and' selling price, andti not the profit. t()ut of this in' per~ cent co'm all of our ex .arion I )ant zIer, manager f "'there is no such thing as~ aver age''mu nianuji.

Brunton worked on plans this week with Eugene Powell, Director of Transportat ionl and Parking at the tniversity of West Virginia, and M. I). Tavenner. US(C Director of Inst it utional Studies. Powell ex plainled the system at West Virginia where the campus is dlivided into three areas, each a mile apart. Eleven huses are main tainedl at a flat student fee of $5 peri semester. A* bus stops at every bus-stop on the route every five minutes. "The stops are arranged so that no stu - dint has to w aik more than three bdocks to reach htis (lestinat ion,'' P'owell said. "The University is already~ in lie bus business,'" Brunton said, re ferring to the bus service for nurs ing students. "Hlowvever, 5 c hi o o I r'use's have proved inadequate for our needs so we are presently in vestigat ing S. ('. Electric andl Gas 'onmpa ny and other sou rces.''

"I think som'e were objecting for diff' r.nt reasons than those they aid," he co mmentod. "It's toe) bad. We should have the courage o c a pade a spade." A number of practice: adv~cated in the hill are already in 'ffct. lHowever, although USC ad ministrators maintain separa tion of disciplinary and aca demic records is now practiced, one faculty member told The Gamru cock that whether the rec ords are truly separate ignited short debate. H i s t I, r y professor Patterson commented, "In somie ca(e-, the prinriples are being followed. In -ite aases, where they are not he ing done, it would be benefic"ial to ,tate this as a change of policy." There was little agr-enent on who'n the loll would come up again f.r faculty con.ieiration. Some said never-that the bill is effectively killed. ithers in the faculty were more optimistic. Some feel it will be introduced again by February. F a e u I t y Advisory Committ-e Chairman Gilenn Abernathy of the Political Science Department could not he reached Wednesday night for information on possible pro c^dures which may be used in changing the hill. "I think when it comes up it will take at least two months two faculty meetings-to take action," Senior Vice President Patterson commented. And A A U P President Patter-on -unmmed up his feelings on the meeting: "This vote teache, a gtood lesson. Just because a lot of people have lne a lot of work . esn't mean the effort will sue ceed. "A lot of cooperation between and within student and faculty groups has to he used if a hill of rights is to pass." iidered r Term would require too much time.
