AU-American ACP Rating 194748-49 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Voum XIV N. 3COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, JANUARY 6, 1950 Fudd10 Exchange S Replaces -W1 Many Criticize WSSF Project At a special meeting Tuesday afternoon at Flinn Hall campa1s leaders agreed to hold a project drive to have two exchange stu dets come over to the university. The drive was agreed to be spon sored by the World Student Service Fund organization. WSSF chairman Don Campbell said that the projects would in clude a girl's and boy's fraternity stunt night and another event to be announced later. The group considered the pos sibility of holding a concerted drive to send money overseas to needy students, but, after some debate, decided against it. It was argued that the students, remembering the adverse criticism brought on last year when WSSF was accused of being rffiliated with the Com: munist party, were not in favor of sending money and supplies over seas. "They want to know where their money is going," one campus leader said. It costs approximately $900 to finance one exchange student's education here, therefore the group agreed to have two come over. Ap proximately $1,200 was collected in last year's WSSF drive. Full details concerning the dates for the projects will be disclosed -following a WSSF committee meet ing Tuesday afternoon at Flinn Hall. Education Dean Chosen Kiwanis District Leader Dr. Orin F.

The Pealbody Report was orig inally presented on the House floor in 1946. It passed, but after a series of amendments by the Senate it was finally pigeon-holed. Since it was last voted on, a turnover has been made in the General Assem bly, therefore the original bill, which calls for consolidation of higher education, will have to be rd-introduced. The bill is backed up by Gover nor J. Strom Thurmond. In an informal p11 taken of the legislators asking whether they were in favor of some plan to con solidate the programs of higher education among state-supported schools, 86 House members and four Senate members were in favor of consolidation. Two House mem bers and four Senate members were opposed. For the most part, the school presidents were non-committal. However, Dr. Henry R. Sims, presi dent of Winthrop College, was in favor of consolidation with I-eser vations. All in all, 248 persons directly concerned with the issue were con tacted. Only 74 of them answered. It is believed that a group of educators (trustees and interested parties from the six state-up ported schools involved) will enter into the discussions and suggest means, other than the Peabody Re port, of achieving consolidation and preventing overlapping and duplication of curriculums at The Citadel, Medical College, Orange burg A. & M., Winthrop, Clemson and South Carolina. Pres. Norman M. Smith of the University has refused to comment on the question. He had previously stated that the "Peabody Report should be left to die a natural death in the Senate committee room."
