By SUSAN TANNER

Much has been said about one of
the most familiar symbols of the
world we live in-the multiversity.
Multiversity, megaversity, "edu
cation factory," by whatever name,
the image is definitely there, the
image of the impersonalized, deper
sonalized plant spewing out grad-,
untes on an assembly line basis.
How true is this image-as it is
seen from the point of view of the
student and not from those who
have had no chance to experience
the m a n y definitely stimulating
and perhaps even jarring compon
ents which go to make up the
melange of all that will contribute
to the "complete" graduate.
BIGNESS TO PREVAIL
Recently Newsweek pointed out
that, continuing a trend which has
seen enrollment rise from two mil
lion in 1950 to 6.5 million at present,
"in the next decade no doubt the
megaversity will become dominant.
State systems of interlocking junior
colleges and universities will become
the prevailing form of higher edu
cation across the nation."
By 1970, 80 per cent of the 10
million in universities will be in
public institutions. This brings up
the dilemma of control by the gov'
ernor- andl legislature of t he state.
Reporting the views of students
across the nation, Changing Times
brought out opinions wvhich were
generally favorable. Most students
felt that ''the freedom,"' the facili
ties, the reputation, the opportunity
to meet and make friends with a
highly heterogeneous group of pieo
pIe all outweighed any inconveni
ences which might present them
selves on a larger campus.
STEDENTS LOST?
While Carolina dioesn't qualify
as being of multiversity complexity,
still it must deal with many of the
'challenges today.
This i.. especially evident to the
student en.tering South Carolina from
Statewide
Seminar
Meets Here
College studlents from all over
the state will meet here this month
to see the workings of state govern
ment andl to discuss the urban
problem facing South Carolina.
The fourth annual Intercollegiate
Seminar on Government andl Legis
lation will convene at USC's Bell
Camp, March 25-27, sponsored by
the Christian Action Council. Ap
proximately '75 students andi several
professors will meet with state of
ficials andl legislators in a series
of lectures, luncheons, and tours.
Lt. Gov. John West, Rep. Solo
mon Blatt, Rep. Travis Medlock,
Columbia attorney Matthew Perry,
and Benjamin Payton, president of
Benedict College, are among those
scheduled to address the seminar.
A federal official will also be on
hand to present the urban problem
in the national picture and to dis
cuss proposals.
The students will visit the State
Hospital, Pineland School, the De
partraent of Corrections, the Pre
Release Center and the Technical
iducation Center.

As succinctly put by one young
nan recalling his first days on
Nampus, "I was lost." For those
vho were lost the answer came in
'ilany forms.
COSMOPOLITAN CA3PUS
W i t h o u t exception there was
some nostalgia for the quiet isola
.ion of the small school, yet again
ilmost without e x c e p) t i o n the
'worldly experience" to be found on
i larger campus was named as the
)utstanding factor in favor of it.
rhe realization seemed to be that
:he student was "on his own," that
he protection of the haven was
Tone and in its place was the
-eality of personal responsibility.

Carolina received more than $1.5
rxillion in allocations last year for
esearch and development pro
~rams, and the figure is expected
o rise by 10 per cent during 1968.
D)r. James A. Morris, USC vice
residIent for adlvanced studlies and
esearch, said total expenditures
or departmental r e s e a r c h and
ffiliated research i n s t i t u t e s
mounted to $1,525,000.
The m o n e y was distributed
mong 130 separately budgeted re
earch and development projects,
anging from inventories of coastal
vildlife to studies of cancer-pro
Lucing hydrocarbons.
Engaged in the highly varied
irojects were 78 USC faculty mem
ers and research associates.
The bulk of organized dlepart
nental research programs--70 per
ent-were supported by federal
rants and contracts. Carolina was
he second largest source, supply
ng 15 per cent of the funds. State
o n t r a c t s were the smallest,
mounting to only two per cent of
he total grant allocations.

Although many see the campus
with its positive aspects, there are
those who have been acquainted
with other sides of the university.
Complaints ran the gamut and
included topies from food to regis
tration.
There was a call for ideals, for
knowing people, not just judging
theim by superficial appearance.
Another complaint was one week
rush instead of the eight weeks
rush at the University of Alabama
or the one semester rush at Texas.
Lack of sorority houses created a
situation of impersonality and lack
of intimacy in the sorority.
Transfer students found that
they had such high ID numbers
that by the time they got to regis
ter, classes had long been filled.
Classes were judged as being too

Ten per cent was contributed in
this category by private foundation
grants. Industrial research and de
velopment contracts amounted to
three per cent.
By far the largest recipients of
research and develop)ment funds
were the physical sciences wvhich
include chemistry, physics, astron
omy and related programs at the
University. They received an allo
cation of $547,000.
Engineering e x pe ndi t ur es
a m o u .ted to $226,000. Social
sciences and humanities received
$120,000 and life sciences programs
were granted $32,000.
Expenditures for other depart
mental research amounted to $500,

National Science Foundation was
a heavy contributor to a number of

adaches
student appeals at weekly court
sessions held in the Law School.
During the first eight weeks of
each fall semester the court's case
load is heaviest, and 35 or more
cases per weekly session are not
uncommon.
Parking violations are numerous
since "there are around 4,000 stu
dents with cars and a limited num
ber of student parking areas on
campus," said Tavenner.
Between two-thirds and three
fourths of student appeals are suc
cessful in the fall because the court
recognizes that there may be some
student unfamiliarity with Univer
sity regulations. But later in the
year, students are not as apt to be
successful in pleas of unfamiliarity
with regulations.
Court proceedings are informal.
Having clarified his appeal with a
written explanation beforehand, the
student simply appears before the
judges, tells his story, and is pre
pared to answer questions.
