USC's Standards Hinge On Funds, President Urges The Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has notified the university that it is not expending a minimum of $250 per student In graduate work according to a report by President Norman M. Smith to the General Assembly last week. In 1948-49, the university spent only $205.24 per student. President Smith submitted re ports to the legislature to show the need for appropriations re quested by the university. Based on an enrollment of 8900 students for 1949-50, the univer sity's request was for $1,889,657. Total expenses were placed at $2, 896,217. Anticipated _revenue is $1,623,650. An inspection committee of the Council for Professional Develop ment criticized the "lack of graduate and research work" done by the university. The committee commented on the "rather poor li brary facilities, . . . of the weak ness in staff and facilities in some departments, of the low expendi ture per student as compared with that received from the state." President Smith wrote in his re port, "Each year I have submitted to the General Assembly, in my estimates, requests for amounts which I believed should be appro priated for maintenance and opera tion of the University of South Carolina. Each year my request has been drastically cut. "In these difficult times of high costs and shortages of supplies and personnel we have maintained and operated the university as best we could with the funds appro priated, but only at a sacrifice of high standards that should be maintained at the university." Attorney Cites Law Problems To Federation "No one knows all the law," J. Means McFadden, Chester attor ney, told the law federation Wed nesday while speaking on the problems which lawyers face in small towns. McFadden, a member of the ex ecutive committee of the State Law Bar, was introduced to the federation by Ben Peoples of Barnwell, program committee chairman. The attorney remarked that small town lawyers, have no par ticular practice but rather a clien tele whose expectations of the law yer are that he have the ability to cope with any form of litiga tion. He cited many problems that one client may arouse, from income tax returns to defense in court rooms. "When you first go into prac tice," McFadden declared, "you're going to find we have professional litigists," men who attempt to use young lawyers In court actions that would be or have been non suited. McFadden was an instructor in the law school from 1929 to 1984 before he went to Chester to tk up a practice there. ctions To Presidential Candidates Aspiring campus politicians are usually photographed in a more serious pose, but Photographer Tom Teal, tiring the usual, anapp#d this picture of George Wright, Spartanlurg, .r= ~tir'1&b erts, Columbia, Tuesday.
