Carolina's Only Semiweekly 24 ShoppingrDays College Newspaper Left 'Til Halloween UNIVERSTY O SOUTH CAROLINA Vol. UI No. 7 Columbia, South Carolina, Friday, October 4, 1968 Founded 1908 Speakei Student fy JIM WANNAMAKER and MIKE CREEL Staff Writers "The obligation the Universit-y has to the state is to have the best University possible. The best academic atmosphere probably means the freest," John Edward Dietz told the ODK Leadership Conference here Wednesday. The former vice president of the University of North Carolina student body told the group of campus leaders that the best so cial rules would be rules made by students. "Students should make the decisions. If we want to coun sel with the administration, fine," he said. He added that social rules should be made by dorms or in large dorms by floors. Dietz keynoted the annual con ference Wednesday afternoon. That night's s e s s i o n featured talks by several USC administra tors and a question-and-answer session. The administrators, including President Thomas F. Jones, spoke on their responsibilities to the University and on the responsi bilities of the University itself. Dietz Talk Planned By Hungarian Communist takeovers in central Europe will be discussed here Tues day by a former prime minister of Hungary. Ferenc Nagy, who was active in Political affairs in Hungary from the 1920's to 1947, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in 107 Currell College. His topic will be "Com munist Takeover in Central-East ern Europe a nd Its Presen t Status." Nagy will also speak at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at a luncheon at the Baptist Student Center on Pickens Street. The luncheon will cost $1 per person, but the evening speech is free and open to the public. Nagy, who served as prime min ister from early 1946 until the fol lowing year, left H u n g a r y for America after the Communist take over of his country. While on campus, he will also Participate in classes and seminars in the Department of International Studies. His visit is the first in this year's Visiting Scholars program and is sponsored by the Student Religious Association, the Depart ment of Student Affairs, the De partment of International Studies and the Carolina chaplains. StudeutLegislature Applicants Sought Carolina students interested in participating in this fall's S. C. St ate Student L eg isla ture (SCSSL) can sign up Monday be tween 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Russell House lobby. The USC delegation will be chos en next week. Positions are .open for delegates, pages and adminis Urges Power Thursday's sessions includ,,.d workshop discussions and a con cluding session. Dietz quo'ed Ed Schwartz's comment, "He who must obey the rule should make il," adding that students should also enforce the rules. He proposed a partnership of students and facully members for control of academic matters. "University s t u d e n t s should learn to learn. Anything that hinders that should be cast away," he said. He added that students should have a powerful voice in the hiring of faculty and adminis trators and in construction plan ning. Questioned about experimental beer sales on campus, he said, "I would hope you are not fighting for the sales froin two to three but for the principle." The question was followed by others about possible reactions to the beer sales. Dietz mentioned that student government at UNC has the power of the purse and appropriates $3,000 a year for "a very active public relations cam paign in the state." During the question and an swer period Dietz fielded ques tions on a variety of subjects from national politics to the ex perimental college at UNC. On student reaction to the Presidential nominees: "There has been a great lack of leader ship in the country. That's why the Wallace, Nixon, and Mc Carthy campaigns were so suc cessful. If there hadn't been a horrible thing on June 4, it might have been different." On why there were disturbances at Columbia University: "A lo' of people got mad because they couldn't talk." On women's dormitory rules: The curfew hours are "focussing you on parties." On student apathy: "One of the reasons that they don't par ticipate is that they feel it doesn't make any difference." On fraternity life: "In the North fraternities are (lead. In the South fraternities are stronger and growing, but people are just not so concerned about being in a group reinforcing itself." On the chances of Columbia University-style disturbances at USC: "If you are at all like Chapel Hill, I don't think a 'Co lumbia University' is at all pos sible." On the National Student As sociation, of which he was the Virginia-Carolina area chairman, he stressed the NSA's two-week summer conference as an oppor tunity to meet studtent leaders andI national figures, contacts within the NSA as opportunities for speakers, the organization's information library and the NSA's European travel plans. On why be a leader: "It's all very gratifying." USC-Me 4 By D)ON CAUGHMAN Staff Writer Affiliation with the Medical College of South Carolina and relinquishing control of its re gional campuses are major recommendations f o r USC made in the Moody Report, a comprehensive blueprint for the state's growth during the next 17 years. Released this summer by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., andt Campus Facilities Associ ates, the report has come under fire from some state leaders as economically impractical. Official debate on the report's proposals will begin when the General As"embly convenes in January.

The Lippard Report, issued last spring by three of the na tion's top medical educators after an extensive study, recommended establishment of a medical school at USC not later than 1975. The proposal has gotten the support of numerous civ'ic and medical leaders in Columbia. But the Moody Report rules out a second medlical college asr financially impossible. Creation of a secondl school, it suggested, would "guarantee that the state will have not one but two undistinguished medi- t cal schools." t Instead, the report advisedt that the state's "immediate task . . .

Bill For G Submitted By JIM HANEY Staff Writer A bill to create an ombudsman ommittee to hear student griev nces was submited Tuesday to ;tudent Senate. After sending the proposal to ommittee, the Senate defeated a nove to place a referendum he 'ore the student body to lower the ;PR requirement for campus of 'icers. The ombudisman bill, authored )y Student Body President Tom 3alane, would establish a corn nittee of students appointed by he student body president and pproved by the Senate to hear nd act upon student complaints. A faculty ombudsman, ap pointed by the president of the University, would act as ad viser to the committee. The committee, under the office f the studlent attorney general. r'ould receive studient grievances, ubmit them to the proper author ty and report to the studient the ection that had been taken. The ill was given to the General Wel are Committee. The elections bill, sponsored by en. Mike Spears, would have laced on the fall ballot a consti utional amendment lowering the PR requirement for candidiate or student b)ody~ offices to 2.25 nd to 2.0 for candlidates for clas.s ff ices. Adoption of the proposal would require a two-thirds ma jority of students voting in the fall elections. Spears' bill incurred dlifficulty< .'hen its opponents, led by Sen red Magner, contended that the ill had not been proposed 14 days efore the fall elections as re uired by the constituion. There are, they said, it could not bei laced on the ballot. Supporters of the measure ar-i ued that the bill had been pre ented at the last session and had i een legally "proposed" at that ime. Opponents countered that he term "proposed" meant adop ion by the Senate. The bill was then returned to the committee on general wel fare.

The Hazards ( M'inimum G [s Changed A more uniform system of de ,ermining the minimum GPR nec issary for a studen4t to avoid aca lemic suspension was approved at Wednesday's faculty meeting. According to Vice President for Acadlemic Affairs H-. Willard Davis, the new system "levels out" he old1 method, under which the n~inimum GPR reqluirement in -reased only when a student -eached a different class status. Under the new system, the mini nium GPR requirement is comn uted by dividing 100 into the otal number of hours carried and idding one to that number. For example, a student who has yarried 55 hours would need,. a 1.55 GPR to avoid academic sus sension. That figure is derived by lividing 100 into 55 and adding ne to the result.

Magner also proposed a bill to create a new, one-member Senate distri-t for the new resi dence halls at the Roost. Staff Pb.t. by Cheek Keefer if Student Life PR System By Faculty was required for 30-59 hours car ried; 1.5 was necessary for 60-89 hours, and 2.0 was necessary for over 90 hours. This system would require 'the aforementioned student to have a 1.0 GPR to remain in school, but that would jump to 1.5 when the student's hours-carried t o t a I reached 60. "People sometimes get caught in these requirement jumps," Davis said, "and there's nothing they can do about it. The new system will level out the requirement scale and make it fairer for everyone." Students with a 1.9 GPR will not be subject to the new system but will be allowed to remain In school under the assumption that it is possible for them to raise their GPR's to the 2.0 required for graduation.
