Drew has vetoed a Student Senate bill urging that Senate be given power to allocate activities fees. Senate learned of the veto Wed nesday in a communication from Drew to Vice President Denny Royal. "I find several of the Whereas clauses introducing the bill to be misleading and a few to be com pletely false," Drew stated. "Although many of the principles embodied in this bill are worthy of merit, I cannot allow the bill to pass my desk in its present form. During the coming week I will prepare a veto message which will include a substitute proposal," he said. 'ONE ERROR' S e n a t e Monetary Committee Chairman Mark Sloan commented after the meeting, "To the best of my knowledge, none of the Whereas e I a u s e s are fallacious in their proper form. There was one typo. graphical error which gave a wrong interpretation to one clause. "If I find President Drew's bill is better worded and performs the same functions intended in my bill, I will have nothing against it," he said. The bill, passed by Senate last week, would give the student leg islators p o w e r to allocate about $250,000 in activities funds, char ter new student organizations or revoke charters and rule on changes in organizations' constitu tions and by-laws. Those p o w e r s are now the province of the Student Affairs Committee, a four-student, four faculty group chaired by Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Paul Fidler. TWO-THIRDS A two-thirds majority of the Senate would be required to over ride the presidential veto and place the bill in administration hands.

A resolution passed by the Senate last week asked President Thomas F. Jones to abolish the Student Affairs Committee and give the Senate Monetary Committee its power to conduct budget hearings, recommend allocations and grant charters for student organizations. Sen. Mark Sloan, chairman of the Monetary Committee, introduced the measure. "It's the right of the leg islative branch of government to handle tdw fees," Sloan said this week.

Student Body President Sam )rew vetoed the measure, saying that the "Whereas clauses" were misleading and "shed a bad light on the bill in its entirety." Drew said he is preparing a corn promise proposal. S t u d e n t Body Vice President Denny Royal favored the bill. "Financial control should, on principle alone, be linked as closely as possible to those who pay these funds," Royal said. "If Student Government is ever to attain its proper role as the governing body of the USC campus dedicated to leading and serving the students rather than a glorified 'high school student council'," he continued, "it is imperative that Student Senate be given the power to allocate the stu dent activities fees." game.

Fidler told The Gamierock, "I am not con vinced on the basis of what they have presented in this resolution that there would be an improve ment" in allocating funds. Fidler is chairman of the Stu dent Affairs Committee which has the power to make allotment recom mendations. Student Union Vice President Elbie Conard said, "he basic philosophy of the resolution is a good idea. I definitely feel that students should play a larger role in the allocation of money for student activities. "A good way to do this would be to increase the number of students on the Student Affairs Committee -but at the same time, to give the Student Senate what is a I m o s t autonomous control of s e v e r a I hundred thousand dollars is absurd. P e r h a p s a compromise can be worked out." Students Participate In Protest ly MIKE KROCHMALNY Staff Writer About 15 USC students joined an estimated 450 S. C. State College students in a demonstration Wed nesday at the State House. Ken Price, president of the USC Afro-American Students Associa tion, said the Carolina students joined the demonstration on "an individual basis." The students gathered at the State House to protest the recent dleaths of three studlents in riots at Orangeburg and the arrest of six Negroes at last week's (lemon stration. Seventeen of the group met with Lt. Gov'. John C. West and pre sentedl a list of grievances. West assured them the list would be "readl publicly and published in the S-'nate Journal." REPULSED Observers reportedI that about 150 Negro students charged up the Capitol steps and were repulsed by a line of police. A USC student in volvedl later toIld The Gamecock the group "went up the steps to talk with Gov. Robert McNair, who would not come out." Price saidl that there was no uni fied action planned by the Afro Americans but he foresaw more involvement in the actions of the S. C. State group) by the USC stu dtents. 'NOT STRONC' He said that a great deal of the student group assembled on the grounds felt that the representa tives who met with West did not press their point strongly enough. "I feel the governor should have come out," Price continued, "and should have spoken to the group." Speaking of continuedl participa tion in the dlemonstrations by USC Negro students, he stated, "What happened at Orangeburg affects all Negroes. It is as much a problem of USC as a problem of S. C. State College." Price called for caution and de liberation and said, "If S. C. State can wait, I can wait too"
