University Press Is 'On The Move' By VAN VANUCH Staff Writer A dynamically growing division of the University is the USC Press. "We published one book in 1966," says Robert T. King, director of the USC Press. "This year we will publish about 22." The University Press exists mainly as a service to scholars and scientists who would be unable to get their books published by commercial publishers. "Commercial publishers recognize that there are some books they can't print because of the expense. Books by scholars, or scientists writing up research do not attract a wide enough reading audience to cover the costs of print ing," said King. Before the USC Press was established, research by pro fessors was published at universities outside of South Caro lina. The state and University lost the recognition and influ ence that books published in the state could bring. When the Federal government and large foundations are donating grants, most of the money goes to universities with the best academic reputations, King said. The USC Press enhances the reputation of Carolina by publishing works of its most eminent scholars, such as business administration Prof. Charles Edwards, Biology Prof. Wade Batson, English Prof. Ennis Rees, and others. About 30 per cent of the books published by the USC Press are written by Carolina professors, and many of these books are reviewed outside of the United States-in Japan for instance, the director said. Before a manuscript finally makes it to the shelves of bookstores, various problems must be solved. "An author may want a book published a certain way not realizing that publishing it this way would double costs," says King. "Or there may be conflicts concerning the way we edit his manuscript." Once these differences are resolved, the manuscript is sent out to specially selected readers for appraisal. If the appraisals are favorable, King goes before a Press Com mittee, presents a written statement of why the manuscript should be published, and asks approval for putting the Uni versity of South Carolina's imprint on the book. If the com mittee approves, a contract is prepared with the author. Authors are usually paid a royalty of 10 per cent of the list price for every copy sold. Books the USC Press has available for distribution are listed in such publications as "Books In Print" and "Pub lishers Weekly." Bookstore operators consult these publica tions, then place their orders. "Many individuals think we are here to sell books and they come here to buy books," said King. "We can't refuse to serve them, but we try to encourage them to buy our books at a bookstore. This is better for the author and the book."

Well, maybe not that - but Kate Salley, creator and cartoonist of Terrible Tom and the Boys said at one time she had considered drawing them as a motorcycle gang. Miss Salley, a senior elementary education major from Orangeburg, has been drawing Terrible Tom for nearly two years. It all began when The Gamecock asked her for a cartoon feature.

She came upon President Jones' picture and found "He has an extremely easy face to caricature." From there the idea grew slowly for a group cartoon of faculty members. After rejecting the idea Df a motorcycle gang, Miss Salley hit upon the idea for the present Terrible Tom. "Batman was big at the time, so I decided on something like that." The Man...

Besides drawing, she plays the guitar and enjoys country music. "Roger Miller is my hero, next to Walt Disney," she says. Upon graduation she plans to make her home on James Island, or in Nashville, Tenn. -U i DOLLAR ORTH? DURING ARLE Russell House Student Help CI To break down old images and restore self-respect to the children is the main focus of the Wesley Foundation Tutorial program, ac cording to Harriet Clarkson, stu dent coordinator. Volunteer University students spend one afternoon a week tutor ing at Booker T. Washington High School, New Life Community or the Wilkinson Home for Girls. One of the most important aspects of the program, said Miss Clarkson, is the relationship which is established between the students and tutors. The children like to identify with their individual tutors and are disappointed when the person can't come. Miss Clarkson explained that in addition to basic instruction the tutors often take the students to cultural events such as movies, con certs and art exhibits. Individual efforts by the tutors such as sending cards for Christ mas, Easter and birthdays also aid in developing effective rela tionships between the tutors and students involved. There is a need at Booker T. Washington for two English tutors and one math tutor who would work with students for one hour (By the author WAS KEATS TI OF HIU Who was the greatest of t Byron, Shelley or Keats?
