There will be e Carolin Deacon, By CARL SIEPP Sports Editor "We're not even talking about Duke until after we play Virginia. That will be a tough game for us." Carolina Coach Frank McGuire lounged in his office shortly after his Gamecocks had cut down Wake Forest, 88-73, in a convincing tri umph here Wednesday night. "That's a good ball club," he said of the Deacons. "'Mey'll be tough to beat when we play them there. "But our fellows played great. Thompson made some fantasti, passes. It's good to have him back." In the Gamecock dressing room, playmaker Jack Thompson, out for several games with a torn ham string muscle, breathed a deep sigh. "It's great to be back," he beamed. "It was one of the most wonderful feelings I've ever had when I fihally got back in. Iere's no pain at all now, but I wasn't able to run at full speed tonight. But next game .. . I think I'll be okay." For the Gamecocks, the night had started out wvith a scare. With Thompson already on the bench, Carolina's top scorer and rebounder Gary Gregor sprained his ankle within 20 seconds of the opening tipoff, and things looked bleak. But moments later both Gregor and Thompson returned to action, ', and the fired-up Gamecocks drove from a five-point dleficit to a 39 27 halftime edIge. From there on It was a matter of coasting. With Frank Standard pouring In 30 points-I12 on free throws-end Skip Harlicka chip. ping In 24, the Gam:ecocks breezed to an 88-73 win over the outplayed Deacons. Committee Cuts USC Allocations The University budget has been slashed $4.5 million by the House Ways andl Means Committee. The reco.nmendation p)resentedl to the State Legislature at the ses sion which began this week is $11,-' 978,325, a $1.2 million increase over this year. USC reqluestedl $16, 518,250 for 1968-69, a $6 million increase over 1967-68. "The recommended amount al lows only for the increase in stu (lent enrollment," saidI Vice Presi (ent for Business Affairs Harold Brunton. "No allowance is made for our plans for new programs, such as the much-nt"eded School of Social Work. "If this is only a postp)onement, if the legislature is merely mark ing time rather than ignoring our needl, we can wait. We can cer tainly understand their position. But the big question is where (does the State want the University to go? These new programs cannot be postponed indefinitely." Per-student allocations this year were $878, the lowest amount at any State University. The 1968-69 r.equest asked for $1,000 per stu (lent, but the recommendation al los only a few dollars above last ~&Lr's allocation. nation dule AM. 2:00 P.M.

"He's going to really help us now that he's back." In the training room, trainer Jim Price examined the swollen ankles of Gregor. "I don't think there's any serious damage to Gary," he said. "But now he has two bad ankles. lie hurt his left one last week against Maryland, and it was his right one he injured tonight." McGuire meanwhile, declining to look ahead to the Gamecocks' Jan. 30 engagement with Duke, ex pressed praise for Virginia. "They beat us up there," he said. "They're tough, but we'll get ready. We need a big comeback win against them. Then we'll get ready for Duke." Gre gor Book: Last in a .Serie8 By SAllY ZALKIN Ansi. Managlig Fditor Tlhe Book Store profit last year was $44,000. Where dlid it go? What happened to the $57,000 the Campus Shop madle in 1965-66? The series on the Campus Book Store has dealt with every area of the Book Store operation, prices, expenses and profit. In this last article, The (;Gaecock asks a final question: where does the prof it go? USC Presidlent Thomas F. Jones toldl The Gam,,ecock that most of the annual Campus Shop profits are usedi for scholarships. "We set aside $40,000 each year for scholar ships. Of this sum, $27,500 is used UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Vol. LVIII, No. 16 Columbia, South Carolina, January 12, 1968 Founded 1908 Assembly Privilege Protected The University's long-awaited policy on demonstrations was re leased Thursday, insuring the right of students to demonstrate provided their activities do not interfere with "the normal opera tion of the University." "Subject only to prior reserva tions, a student organization or group of students desiring to as semble on the campus shall be entitled to reserve an appropriate time and place on campus for their assembly, provided the assembly location is not such that at the time for which requested the pro posed assembly will interfer with the normal and regular programs of the University or the normal flow of campus traffic, vehicular or pedestrian," the policy states. Applications for reservations must be made in writing at least 24 hours before the proposed as sembly to the vice president for student affairs. "The University should continue to recognize and to defend along with other rights of its students, the rights of peaceable assembly, freedom of opinion and freedom of speech. "The assemblies must, of course, be peaceable and must not inter fere with other meetings or with the normal operation of the Uni versity, nor should these meetings be so noisy as to constitute a nuis ance," according to the report of the demonstration committee. Police protection will be given to demonstrators when requested if such protection is available. ;oes For Another I1 Prof its for athletic scholarships. The re maining $12,500 is usedl by the University scholarship committee like any other scholarship funds." Because state appropriations are ] forbidden by law for scholarship use, saidi Vice President for Busi ness Affairs Harold Brunton, the Campus Shop provides a service to the University b)y providiing some scholarship funds. "Without Cam p)us Shop profit, we would have to findi some other source for this money."~ Jones said that the rest of the money' (the difference betwee~n the total profit and the *40,000 set aside for scholarship.) is placed ini a reserve fund.

Scholk for students to attend school," Drew said. "Since books are a necessary item, the University should charge the students as little as possible." Drew also talked about a book exchange to handle used books. Book Store Manager William Rorie saidl a non-profit book store wouldl not be feasible at USC. "There is so much work behind the scenes in a book store," he said. "So much depends on accuracy in ordlering books and would have to be handled by trained men." He felt that a non-profit operation would lose money annually rather than break even. Brunton agreed with Rorie. "We would face the problem of what to (10 in case of a deficit," he said. "About eight years ago the Cam lent 0 ation' CARROLL m-Chief as F. Jones asked a "Year for aculty Wednesday, outlining of teaching methods, course curriculum organization and "The University of South Caro lina needs to face the problems of growing quantity and quality, the making of great persons and the challenge of self-renewal," Jones told the faculty at their first meet ing of 1968. "How do we know that what we have been doing is right? Tradi tion? Practice? Easiest way to do it? Is "the" way the best way?" he isked. The president suggested a study f developing an experimental col lege for innovative programs-"a totally innovative approach in which students would be deeply involved in the innovative process." "The more democratic a univer s'ty (or society) is, the more :learly it will reflect the interests of its members," he commented. "In an open society or univer sity, freedom of communication in sures that the new ideas will be brought into confrontation with the old. "Perhaps the most important characteristic of an ever-renewing system is that it has built-in pro visions for vigorous criticism. It protects the dissenter and the non cenformist. It knows that from the ranks of the critics come not only cranks and troublemakers but saviors and innovators." Suggested as questions for con sideration in the "Innovation Year" were student motivation, relevance of course material, extended in volvement in research and broaden ing graduate study availability. "We might face squarely the cjuestion of student motivation when a student fails a course, the 3rofessor has failed and the Uni versity has failed, in a very real iense," he said. Pass.

In a non-profit operation, w'ho makes up the deficit?" What do oilher college, and unni veriicas do with book store prof i? A study in "College and UJni versity Business" shows that the majority operate at a profit and use the profit on projects to bene fit the school in every area from golf courses to scholarship. Others return the profits to the >atrons, generally on the basis of patronage refund. One of the argest cooperatives in the country listributes in excess of $500,000 in his manner.

If the S o u t h Carolina legisla ture follows advisers' recommenda tions, USC will be the home of the state's second medical school by 1975. Approval of the University as the site for the much-sought facil ,ty was announced last week. And on the basis of that an nouncement came action by the Richland County delegation whose 10 House of Representatives mem bers introduced enabling legislation Tuesday on the opening day of the current legislative session. The Richland bill asks a first allocation of $100,000 to m e e t initial planning requirements for a medical school. University President Thomas F. Jones expressed great pleasure at the committee's choice and said that one of the first steps necessary if ,funds were allocated for the USC school would be appointment of a dean to coordinate planning. Fail ing System ty .Senate (day, the parking facilities to be built around the new University Coliseum." The senators maintain that the present facilities "restrict the use of University facilities, waste the time of the student, create a health hazard to the student in inclement weather, encourage maximum class cutting, and make a poor impres sion on visitors to the University." Passed by the Academic Affairs Committee was a resolution calling for pass-fail grading on courses numberedl 300 and above for those not majoring in the department sponsoring the course. The bill, sponsored by Senator Ian Gouldsbrough, stipulates that only a total of three courses would he taken under the pass-fail sys tem and that they would count to ward the required total of 120 hours for gradluation but would not enter into the calculation of the student's GPR. A pass-fail system would, says the author, stimulate the students to "take an active interest in a variety of subjects outside the stu dents' majors." A resolution calling for USC support of a Model United Nations was passed f avo ra bl y by the Academic Affairs Committee. Reporting that Furman Univer sity, originator of the Model U. N., is no longer financially able to sponsor it, author Ian Goulds brough asks that the Student Gov ernment of US'Z share the burden of the project with the schools which have shown an interest in seeingr the nroject continue.
