INQUIRY By HARRY SIMMONS Staff Writer QUESTION: Why did WUSC-AM go off the air before exan week? ANSWER: According to Assi Chief Engineer John Roberts the station went off the air be cause of technical problems tha caused a frequency exactl: double the regular 730 kilohertz In technical terms, we have t strong second harmonic. A second harmonic is agains the laws of the Federal Com munications Commission, so th< Chief Engineer took the statioi off the air as soon as the prob lem arose. "We plan to resum< broadcasting at the beginning o: the second semester," Robert said. QUESTION: I was told that Deat Cooper is chairman of the Stu dent-Faculty F o o d Committee Why, if he is chairman of thit committee is his name not listed on the signs that appear in th< food areas on campus? ANSWER: According to Univer sity food service sources, the name of Dean Cooper was jus overlooked and it will be adde< to the list in the various cafe terias around campus. GUESTION: Why can the emer gency escape hatch in the Russel House elevator not be opened? We were trapped in it and coulk not get out. With the frequen1 use of the Russell House elevatot immediate escape should be pos sible. Is there not a law to have elevators inspected? ANSWER: INQUIRY contacte< Jack Williams at the OTIS Ele vator Company to find informa. tion concerning this question It was learned that OTIS has a contract with the University t< inspect the elevator twice a month. Williams said that there was no law regarding elevator inspection and that owners were responsible for the upkeep. Escape in case of elevator fail ure is usually made through the main door. They are designed to be opened from the inside by pushing the door sideways into its normal open position. If the elevator is between floors the people may have to climb up or down to the closest floor once the door is open. The door on the roof of the ele vator is made to open from the outside, and is to be used only in case of an emergency, i.e., fire, smoke, gas, etc. Only trained persons should assist people out through the roof, such as fire men, police, maintenance men, and elevator technicians, Wil liams said. This is because there are high voltage electrical wir ing and cables on top of the elevator that could be easily touched in the ddrk. QUESTION: A story in The Game cock last issue said that no an nounced tests were to be given the week prior to final exams. Did the faculty know of this rule; if so, why was it not fol lowed? ANSWER: According to the office of vice president for Academic Affairs H. Willard Davis, the minutes of the faculty meetings have been reviewed as far back (See INQUIRY, Page 3) YOU CAUGHT 1 NOW CHA!

Walker confirmed that the fol lowing activities, suggested by the donors of the grant, will be under taken with the new funds: -Further development of the graduate program in international studies. -Research assistance, including relief of faculty teaching loads for members of the staff in inter national studies and for research associates on the campus. --Expansion of the Institute's program of research cooperation with organizations and scholars abroad, including joint research undertakings. -Development of further re search projects concerning demo cratic political strategy in world affairs to include expansion of the Institute's publication program, support for its monthly colloquia on world affairs and the visiting scholar program. -G.eneral support for the Insti tute to include such items as [DAY HE "PUSSYCAT"..

He said the grant would enable the Insti tute, already recognized as a na tional leader in the Southeast, to take on a larger role as a national leader in the field of national security and world affairs. "If the United States cannot re treat from the world, neither can South Carolina," declared Walker.

The equipment, donated by the Bell System's College Gift Pro gram, consists of 246 types of electrical and scientific apparatus, part of a -.tained commitment to higher education." Each year the manufact.uring research arms of the Bell system donate to more than 600 colleges and institutions. The surplus and industrially obsolete equipment in cludes oscilloscopes, wave analyz ers, tube testers, and power sup plies. D)uring the program, gifts have ranged from thermistors small enough to take a grasshopper's temperature to a microwave an tenna large enough to register radiation from the stars. The program, now supplying over 500,000 bits of scientific equipment, began in the 1920's with the donation of 18 oscillo scopes to several northeastern schools.

A special guest for the luncheon was Frank R. Barnett, president of the National Strategy Informa tion Center in New York and a long-time friend of Dr. Walker and other Columbians. Barnett, Internationally recog nized as an expert on communist strategy, said the USC Institute of International Studies already ranks along with the Hoover Insti tute of Stanford University and "other leading thought centers in the country." Calling the USC center "a major national asset," Barnett said that within five years no serious dis cussion on national security or world affairs would be held in the nation without consulting and in cluding the talents of the USC In stitute. Barnett concluded his remarks with a challenge to local civic leaders to develop an organization x to complement the efforts of the t International Studies Department. f Heading the list of dignitaries and University supporters attend ing the luncheon were former Gov.

Walker came to Carolina in 1957 to estab lish the Department of Interna tional Studies, the only thing that lay ahead of him was a lot of hard work. Now 10 years later, the USC de partment has seven faculty mem bers and is recognized as the top International Studies Department in the Southeast. With the announcement last month of a $210,00 grant over a three-year period for the Institute of International Studies, of which Walker is director, the USC de partment is expected to grow even more. "Five years from now," Walker predicted, "there won't be a con ference on national security or world peace anywhere in the coun try that won't include a represen tative from the University of South Carolina." Walker, a nationally recognized expert on Chinese affairs, came to the University as a result of ef forts by then President Donald S. Russell, who supposedly read a book by Walker, invited him to Columbia and persuaded him to become a member of the faculty. Walker attributes much of the success of his program to the vision and foresight of Russell Lnd South Carolina elder states nan James F. Byrnes. He noted that their awareness of .he growing importance of rela ions with other countries and the ,tate's opportunity to participate Letively in the field provided a irm foundation for the depart nent. According to Walker, two im )ortant aspects of the program at JSC contribute to its success. First, the program is predicated mn a regional approach. Success ul efforts have been made to nake Carolina the Southeastern enter of expertise on public pol cy in foreign affairs. USC is the only school in 15 iouthern states which has a doc orate program in international re ations. Supplementing the regional ap >roach has been the second im >ortant concept of the program: he exchange of scholars and in ormation with foreign institutes. Within the next three years cholars will be coming to USC rom three of these centers to take >nsitions on the Institute's staff.
