Smith to grant their request to cause the removal of the University of South Caro lina from the American Federa tion of Musicians' "unfair list," the Student Council acted Thursday night to satisfy A. F. M.'s terms. In an emergency meeting called by Student Body President Fred Brogdon, the Student Council adopted a resolution that assured the union of virtually the same terms as those requested from the University administration. Parker Powers, president of Lo cal 21 of the AFM has indicated that action will be taken within 24 hours after receiving notifica tion of the move. Powers said that the local organization would for ward to its national headquarters immediately a petition for removal of the University from the black list. Action by nation offices will take place within a week he said. "Apparently this will solve the problem," Powers stated. In negotiating with the union the Student Council agreed that it was clearly within its rights. Brogdon pointed out that the Ad ministration and the faculty are in no way involved. Said he, "We . . . feel that in making such a resolution we are fulfilling our obligation to the stu dent body." Content of Resolution The resolution adopted by the Student Council follows: "We the Student Council, duly named representatives of the Stu dent Body of the University of South Carolina. do agree to fore see that the payment of the mini mum wage scale to all musicians union or non-union, playing for student social activities, will be paid by the organizations sponsor ing those activities.
