3 Nursing
Grants
Awarded
Three Columbia girls have been
selected for the first scholarships
of the Central Tuberculosis and
Respiratory Disease Association at
the USC School of Nursing.
Dean Amy Viglione of the nurs
ing school said the association will
provide $1,500 annually for the
three $500 scholarships which will
go to a senior, a junior and a
sophomore.
First w i n n e r s are Barbara
Silvers of Columbia, senior;
Cynthia Fallaw of Cayce, junior;
and Eileen Corley of Lexington,
sophomore.
Each scholarship is continued
until graduation, and one new
reciPient will be named each year
after this year.
Students from Richland and Lex
ington Counties enrolled in the
School of Nursing are eligible for
the scholarships as providedl by the
two-county organization.
These scholarships may be a p)art
of what [)ean Viglione said is
needed for the School of Nursing;
expansion of physical facilities and
resources which would make pos
sible the use of new teaching
methods, research and new pro
grams to fill the n(eeds for graduate
nurses in South Carolina.

ve For c
observer, came away from the cha
otic week-long meeting with some
definite ideas about what really
happened.
"On Wednesday night I was in
the Conrad Hilton Hotel when the
real trouble began on the streets,"
he recalled. "At first the police and
the crowd faced each other. I saw
no evidence of objects being thrown
at the police by the demonstrators
as has been alleged by the police.
"I was too far away to h e a r
w h e t h e r the demonstrators as
saulted the police verbally in the
form of curse words as the police
claimed they (lid."
McConaughy said the great ma
jority of the hotel's guests who
witnessed the violent confrontation
felt "immediate sympathy" for the
demonstrators. Many actively dem
onstrated their disapproval of the
methods u s e d by the police by
throwing things from the windows.
"This type of behavior by usual
ly law-abiding citizens indicates
the degree of emotion that was
present in Chicago. Personally, I
regret that many of the guests saw
fit to participate in the turmoil.
although there can he no doubt that
the force used by the police was
excessive and totally inexcusable."
McConaughy added t h a t there
was no professional medical help
available to demonstrators w h o
were injured by nightsticks or sick
ened by tear gas.
He said many of the youths who
demonstrated in Chicago apparent
ly came from "good, upper-middle
class homes."
Dr. McConaughy was an observ
er at a large rally in Grant Park
where he saw the American flag
brought down and a red flag run
up the pole.
"It was evident that many of the
more responsible kids had the mis
fortune of falling under the lead
ership of Communists and other

Just sick of the system and were
determined to bring it down. You
could recognize their presence by
uniforms that they wore and by
commentts that they m a d e."
McConaughy is among those who
were displeased at the manner in
w h i c h the convention was con
ducted, but he asks several impor
tant questions to p e r s o n s who
would eliminate the convention sys
tem as an American political func
tion.
"You have to ask whether the
primary system would solve all of
the problems," he observed. "Who
would finance it? Would it bring
about the end of political bosses in
their own territories?
"Would the vote of a minority
party in a state reflect the con
sensus of -the voters? Would a man
like McCarthy do as well in a pri
mary as his war position did on
the convention floor?"
Dr. McConaughy feels that the
persisting clamor among many citi
zens will inevitably lead to some
changes in the business of politics.
"Those who took to the streets
certainly had a greater effect upon
the feelings of the American people
t h a n their counterparts working
within the system because of their
dramatic presentations and the ex
tensive coverage given those pre
sentations," he pointed out.
Dr. McConaughy criticized t h e
convention officials and the Chi
cago police for "attempting to hide
the truth about the events in Chi
cago from the people."
ie said he spoke to many news
men who were advising each other
to remove their press passes from
their persons to avoid rumbles with
the authorities. "There can be no
excuse for the suppression of the
truth. Neither can many other as
pects of the proceedings in Chicago
be justified," he concluded.

Rumor has it that the University
has purchased an ancient Sopwith
Camel.
This rumor has no validity. The
University has acquired an air
plane, but not an archaic Sopwith
Camel.
The plane is a twin-engine Cess
na. It seats six people, including
the pilot. and has a cruising speed
of approximately 200 miles per
hour.
It is currently being kept at the
Columbia Airport. The plane was
partially financed by the Carolina

lation, and the rest through a pri

The plane will be used primarily E
by the administration and the ath- t

The plane benefits the Univer- '
sity in its ability to reduce the
overall time required for a trip.
The plane will allow business offi
cials to attend to matters out of

Another f a c e t of the plane's

Directory
Promised
Student directories will be avail.
able around the last week in
October.
Directories will be sent to the
hall counselors for distribution in
dormitories.
Communications-centrex is now
snowed under with calls. Everyone
wants information and their calls
are keeping two operators busy 24
hours a day.
Once directories are distributed,
no operator will give information
which is correctly listed in the
directories.
Directories each will contain
student's name, home town, course
major, mailing address, local ad
dress and phone number. They will
also contain office and home
phones of faculty and staff.
Mrs. Ethel McCreary, communi
cations-centrex supervisor, said the
biggest hold-up in production of
directories is shifting of faculty
and departments.
