A USC sophomore told The

back and forth under the tail sec

warning, he was sprayed with an
intensive blast of tear gas.
Cayce Police Sgt. Ted Hammond,
head of police at the airport Wed

gas during the incident.
He said that the officer from
Springdale and a member of the
airport police were the only ones
to use the gas.
Although in charge of police at the
airport, Hammond said he at no time
authorized use of tear gas. "It's
more p e r o n a I judgment at any
time," he saki.
He also said that students tore
antennae from police cars, let the

The commission was established
last week to investigate powers of
the executive branch and of the
Senate itself. Their report will be
forwarded to the Judicial Council
who must interpret the Student
Body Constitution for precedent on
"who has the power."
The commission recommended
for Judicial Council interpretation:
-That the student body president
has implied power to act in the
name of Student Government (by
a 6-0 vote).
-Ihat the president has the duty
to come before Senate before acting
(by a 5-1 vote).
-That if circumstances consti
tuting an emergency should arise,
the president has the power to by
pass Senate consideration (by a
6-0 vote).
-That the Senate, In such emer
gency circumstances, has the power
to review the president's action (by
a 6-0 vote).
-T'hat President Drew was justi
fied in considering circumstances
surrounding the memorial service an
emergency situation (by a 5-1 vote).
-That it was infeasible to con
sult the Senate on the memorial
service (a 3-3 vote).
After Sen. Johnnie Hare pre
,sented the commission findings,
Student Government First Secre
tary Tom Salane presented the
opinions of the executive depart
ment for Senate information.
Salane told the senators the execu
tive department considers it was im
practical for Drew to consult the
Senate before establishing a me
morial service.

Grievances
Presented
To Mayor
By MONA GAULT
Asxt. News Editor
M e m b e'r s of Carolina's Afro
American Student Association pre
sented a list of grievances to
Colunibia Mayor Lester L. Bates
and the bi-racial Columbia Com
munity Relations C o u n c i l last
Thursday.
The campus organization was in.
vited to appear before the council
after a discussion of community
problems at the Wesley Foundation
last week.
The Relations Council and the
students discussed discrimination
and Negro needs in the community.
Students charged that promotion
policies and assignment of duties
were discriminatory against Negro
policemen. Only one Negro police
man had received a significant
promotion since the force was in
tegrated, they said. They charged
also that Negro citizens were not
receiving the full protection of the
law.
The g r o u p criticized the City
School System for hiring the best
NJegro instructors away from pre
rlominantly Negro school, to teach in
predominantly white schools. 'Ihey
also claimed that compulsoryv educa
tion for the Negro was not enforced.
Ken Price, Afro-American Stu
:lent Association president, told The
Gamecock that there was much talk
at the meeting, but no concrete
suggestions were made. "The coun
e~il responded in no way to our
grievances except to set up a
committee."
City officials declined to com
ment on the meeting.
