agency and are available for any
work for $150 a week and room
and board.
The Student Union plans to pre
sent the performers in a nightclub

night club f,;r Carolina.
Phillips emphasized that these
are "not known acts" but acts that

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

schools co-operating in the ar
rangements, was "highly success

never been tried," he continued. t

methods and techniques that may
be applied under local conditions in
high school geography courses.
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

ure and questionnaire development,
use of aerial photographs, and
storage-retrieval of data.
Application of these methods and
techniques to specific field prob

will be covered in the second three

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

Official
In 'Seri
BY CARL STEPP
Chief Reporter
South Carolina schools are in
"serious trouble" as far as deseg,
regation and compliance with fed
eral guidelines are concerned, a
high-ranking federal official said
here Friday.
"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.

stated. "I'm afraid it is not the
end yet. 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

kind of policies
our office has,"
he said.
"I'm not here

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.

the progress of education in the
South, he said.
He emphasized that all the U. s.
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.
