An additional advantage is the di coordinating of overlapping func tions in the institutions which si would result in better educational facilities and the elimination of ti waste, both of appropriations and d personnel. ai The proposed board of regents v4 would be headed by an administra- tl tive officer with a salary of not n more than $7,500. Council mem- b bers would be paid $10 per diem ti for the meetings of the group. These members would consist of b one member from each of the re- v spective boards of trustees, seven members appointed by the gov ernor upon recommendation of b the Senate, one of which would come from each congressional dis- 0 trict and one from the state-at- a large. The legislation was proposed by Representatives Pope, Sims of v Orangeburg, Wise of Charleston, c Hemphill of Chester, and Callison of Greenwood. All of these legis- 0 lators are members of the house " education committee and Sims and Wise are enrolled in the univer sity. As reported by the local news paper, The State, other changes 4 included in the bill will be: Establishment of a uniform ac counting system and budget pro cedure for the university and the P four colleges. d Renewed encouragement of re- b search studies on a much greater n scale than is now possible.r The proposed regency system was a result of the Peabody col- ~ lege report issued a year ago, * whick pointed out disadvantages a In the South Carolina higher edu- 2 cation system, and also of the f shelving of a proposed resolution to investigate unrest on the uni- ~ versity campus.

There are, apparently, many in terested hopefuls on the campus who possess certain of the quali e fications necessary to radio broad casting. However, many of these aspirants suffer from a malady quite common to citizens of the "deep south"-namely, "accenti tis". However caressing to the ears these soft tones of the southerner may be on the radio they -are just plain taboo. In order to correct this defici ency and also to provide for in struction in station procedure, classes will be arranged to begin immediately. Michael Mungo, a r Carolina student with radio ex r perience in both army and civilian life, has been penciled in as in structor. The classes will be sched uled so that they will be con venient for students to meet, with two (and later three) classes be in~g offered each week. If you are inter'ested and, of course, if you can say "you all" instead of "y'alK" withoult too much effort, WUSC would like to see you.
