The banquet was nart of (? alC6 SCrit and the regional campuses of USC and Clemson. Under the proposal, the regional campuses, with the exclusion of the Florence campus, would get junicr college status. Included in the bill is a measure to expand the Florence campus into a four year school to be known as Francis Marion S t a t e College. The pro posed college would be part of the system. Oppesition to the bill, both from the regional campuses and in the legislature, centered around sepa ration of the regional campusesi fro.n the University. Little opposi tion to the Florence expansion was exIpr, ssed. One regional campus adminis trator described it as "unfortu nate" that the two meaures were iicluded in the same bill. Rep. Hugh Finch of Spartan burg said, "I'll filibuster and do everytning else to see that the Uni versity of South Carolina honcrs its contract to the regicnal branch at Spar:anhurg." l)r. N. A. Stir:aker, director of the Sp: r anburg r.gional campus, saidl he was speaking "as an edu catcr, not a politician," when he described the proposal as "unsound educationally." Stir.:4ker compared t h e gover nor's propcsal to the junior college system in California. "A report by our educational asscc;ation's Legis lative Task Fcrce called the Cali-I fcrnia sys.em 'an expensive fail ure,' " Stir:aker said. "The sYstein is not working in California, and it can't w o r k here," he said. "Our future rests nIOW and in perpetuity with the U'niversity of South Carolina." USC President Thomas F. Jones said recently that USC has never asked to be relieved of the respon s bility for the off-campus centers. "\Ve a re anxious to continue serving to the best of our ability so long as the state government delegates the responsibility to the University," he said.

A spokesman for the University administration pointed out that the Florence regional campus is the oldest - seven years - of the branches and is probably ready for independence. Formal resolutions opposing the proposal have been made by the Lancaster Commission for Higher Education a n d the Aiken com mission. The State H i g h e r Education Commission originally suggested two statewide governing b o a r d s, one for four-year schools and one for the regional campuses. U n d e r the governor's program the four-year program at Florence would be effective by July 1, 1970, with similar institutions started at Charleston and in the Piedmont and Midlands campuses la'er.
