The first acts interviewed by the Student Union were not rock and roll performers. Those that have been engaged are single acts who perform "in the style of the Let termen or Four Freshmen," Phil lips stated. For the first programs, Phillips expects that a nightclub atmos phere will be set up in the Russell House or elsewhere on campus, possibly South, M and N, or Fra ternity Row. It is planned that the act en gaged for the first week will be presented one or two nights in the night club atmosphere. One will definitely be held in the Russell House. The Student Union, Phillips said, hopes it can "eventually set up a permanent night club" which will be designed with risers and where a meal will be served. Cokes or other soft drinks will be served. Phillips added that the same rules and procedures con cerning use of alcoholic beverages at dances at Township Auditorium and other Student Union functions will apply at the night club. According to the Student Union diIrector, at pilot program at David sn ' College, one of the seven schools co-operating in the ar rangements, was "highly success ful."

The program will be divided into three phases, each of which will deal with different areas of field work. The first three weeks willl be devoted to use of instruments, application of elementary statis tical techniques in data collection and evaluation, selected cartogra phic techniques, interview proced ure and questionnaire development, use of aerial photographs, and storage-retrieval of data. Application of these methods and techniques to specific field prob lems in both the physical and eco nomic-social aspects of geography will be covered in the second three week period. Participants will in vestigate such field problems as microclimate, rural land use, urban growth, and resource use, during this phase of the institute. The final week will be devoted to the completion of a field proj ect of the participant's own choos ing.

"South Carolina is one of a small group of states in which there is serious trouble with the problem of school desegregation. On the positive side, South Carolina has a notable record for maintaining law and order. But with regard to the progress of school desegregation, we are in trouble," David Seeley, Assistant Commissioner, U. S. Of fice of Education, told the South Carolina Press Association. There has been relatively little assumption of responsibility by public and school officials for bringing about the changes re quired by law. . . . Inevitably, there has been little progress," contin ued Seeley. He noted that because of "quite astute" advice the state has thus far escaped losing as much federal money as other states have lost but said he foresaw more cut-offs in the future. "This means the termination of funds that are badly needed," he Journalism Scholarship Presented A sophomore in the School of Journalism last week was awarded a $100 scholarship by the women's division of the South Carolina Press Association. Jan Geddings, an "A-"-average student with "journalism in her blood" was awarded the annual scholarship on the basis of her superior standing in the School of Journalism. She is enrolled in the news-editorial sequence of study. Miss Geddings attended hligh school in Tokyo, Japan, where her I father was stationed in the Air Force. She was news editor of her school newspaper and manager of the yearbook. She attributes her coming to USC to her father, who was an employee of the State following his graduation from Carolina's School of Journalism. 1 You Believe... Mr. Terrific :I You Believe... Capt.

The districts file as surances of compliance, but I'm afraid have not followed through." Seeley praised the S. C. Press Association for being the first one to invite a federal speaker on the controversial issue of school de segregation. "I think there is a serious __ m problem in this state of pub lic understand ing of what kind of policies our office has," he said. "I'm not here to try to con vince anybody. ... We are carrying out a p law. We h a v e SEELEY tried to carry it out in the most reasonable way we can. "We're not trying to force de segregation. We are told by Con gress that if desegregation is con tinued, we must cut off federal funds. "After all efforts to bring about voluntary compliance, we find dis crimination continuing." He explained that South Caro lina is the only state which has not made use of federal funds set aside for the education of school officials in the best ways to han dlIe school desegregation. "In my own view," he opined, "the system of segregation has been an enormous burden on ed ucation, a burden that has hurt everybody, white students as well as colored." By requiring the expense and personnel to operate dual school ;ystems, segregation has hindered Graduates Fellowship An additional 6,000 graduate students who show promise of de veloping into good college and mniversity teachers will receive fellowships for doctoral study dur ng the 1967-68 academic year, ac ording to a recent announcement by the U. S. Office of Education. Approximately $82 million will 'e obligated during the Fiscal Year 1967 to finance the 6,000 new traduate fellowships and continue support of some 9,000 awards from: revious years. The fellowship program, which s administeredl undler Title IV of 'he National D)efense Education e~t of 1958, has two purposes: to nerease the number of well-quali iedl college and university teach ~rs and to develop and expand he capacity of doctoral study acilities throughout the country.

Office of Education requires is "reasonable and moderate" prog. ress by school systems. He said that usually where teachers are not assigned on a non-racial basis, there is a prob. lem. In South Carolina, he added, some 66 districts have no desegre gation of full-time classroom teachers. All but about 10, how ever, have desegregated staffs. He criticized the freedom of choice plan, but said that in many cases it could be effective. "Much more is needed. Merely passing out freedom of choice forms in the atmosphere that usually pervades would not con stitute compliance for desegrega tion," he stated. Seely said that such a method placed a heavy burden on the Negro parent. "Sometimes it's fear. Sometimes it's concern over economic security.p In other instances, it's simply the concern any parent would have for his child." Seeley remarked that the gov ernment is taking into considera tion that total integration would bring with it many problems. "This is not what we have re quired," he said. "We have re quired a moderate progress. We adopted the policy recognizing this problem." Seeley reflected that the future and progress of education in the state could be in jeopardy. "If the law of the land requires desegregation, S. C. is making lit tle progress to comply. That con stituted laws are not obeyed is al ways a problem. "As the burden of segregation is lifted, education will improve," he said. To Enter Program Fellowships have been granted to 193 institutions representing all 50 states, the District of Colum bia, and Puerto Rico. South Caro lina grants total 39. Nominations of fellowship can didates are made to the Commis sioner of Education by the grad uate institutions.

Stipends providle $2,000 for the first year, $2,200 for the second, and $2,400 r the third, plus an allowance of $400 a year for each dependent. An additional stipend of $400, anSI in allowance of $100 for each de pendent are available for summer study.
