On the morning of December 7, 1944 the student body of the uni versity gathered in the field house to hear an address by Sol Blatt, then speaker of the state House of Representatives. In his ad dress, Blatt swept the students off their feet by suggesting that the university he moved from its pres ent location to a site to be selected. Purpose of moving the plant was to provide adequate space for pro Ragsdale Wants Class In Home Physics Added "There is a definite desire by the physics department to add a course in home physics," Albert Ragsdale, physics professor of the university, said this week. Citing the usefulness of such a course to all students, he explained that it would be concerned only with problems of the home. It would show the makeup and op eration of a vacuum cleaner and other every (lay applications of physics. "Through such a course we could teach the function of a fuse and how to replace it. That is just one small example of wvhat could be dlone, but it gives some idlea of the p)racticality of the course." Physics in the life on an aver age family would b)e exp)lained fully. All problems arising could be undlerstood and remedial action put into force at once, saving many small bills.

In his speech Blatt emphasized the de lapidated condition of the dormi tories and classrooms. Funds for the new plant were to be supplied from state and fed eral grants. The state legislature at that time had a surplus of 11 million dollars. Blatt suggested that half this amount be turned )ver to the university for the pro posed new construction. The fed eral government would, Blatt said, match this amount. An additional two million dollars would be de rived from the sale of the present plant. On December 14, 1944, the uni versity Board of Trustees passed, a resolution which proposed: "A plan to dispose of the pres ent plant of the University of South Carolina and to rebuild the institution at a site to be selected, provided state and federal funds to finance the project can be ob tained." On Dec. 20 a student body meet COGBURN The Business Men Choice at Quality an Originat Try One of Our I And You'll Be 1317 SUM~ Next Door to i rla e b a m e c oc k Sa fliy MANN ing composed of about 400 stu dents was held. A resolution re cording the student body as being oppc.qed to the proposed moving of the university was submitted by Bill Hutchinson, student council member and president of the YMCA. Navy students, by offi cial navy order, were prohibited from participation in the meeting, Bill Hutchinson was, att ctime, in the NROTC, and whether he was acting in the capacity of a student council member or deliber ately violating the order is a mat ter for conjecture. The resolution submitted by Hutchinson included: "The moving of the university to another site would inevitably destroy many of those traditions and associations which have for more than a century endeared it to those who have entered its por tals . . J. B. Heatherly, former presi dent of the student body, sought tc table the resolution. He said, "We should look at this from the stand 'S GRILL and College Boys' 411 Times d Variety e Here )eliciouis Lunc'hes B3ack for More.

A real student body will put Caro lina right up there among the other great schools of the South." Heatherly was unsuccessful in his attempt to table the resolution. For weeks to follow, there were many to express their opinions about the proposal. Among them was George C. Taylor, Carolina alumnus, and then professor of English at the University of North Carolina. Mrs. David G. Ellison, Jr., alumna, said, "Its terrible to even think of moving Carolina. The charm is the tradition of Caro lina. The campus is beautiful. We could expand and have a new chapel and cafeteria, but I don't think we should move to another location."
