The recommendation states that the University "should seek to con tinue its building and educational programs by more construc.ive means and allow the present neighborhoods surrounding t h e University campus to continue to exist alongside the University as communities for as long as they can provide housing for elements of the Columbia population." Kirtz said the University should find ways to expand be side3 claiming surrounding com munities through eminent do main. He said expansion might be by utilizing classroom space wi h more afternoon classes. But Kirtz said the University intends further expansion into communities in the Wheeler Hill section off Pickens Street and the houses between the Humanities Center and Capstone. Kirtz criticized the Univer sity's lack of concern in relocat ing people from communities. He noted it has been a year since the evacuation of people from the area now taken up by the Collins Gets Post At Record William A.

Collins has been managing editor of the Greenwood Index-Journal, city editor of the State and a writ er for the Richmond (Va.) Times Dispatch. Before taking his present position, Collins was dir!ctor of public relations for Blue Cross Blue Shield. Collins dlescribed his new posi tion as "a satisfying one for a newsman."

"The University can go only so far before the community will not support it. We hope the Univer sity will never be burned," he said, "but the University keeps moving people." Kirtz noted that the persons are compensated only for their house and property-not for what it would cost to relocate. He also said compensation did not include such things *a trans portation, like a bus service, and water system as provided by the city. "The University must exert its moral leadership," Kirtz said, Kirtz pointed out that although the University does not have the obligation of relocating the famil ies and providing adequate hous ing for them, it can exert influence Weekend 'l Concert A The Lettermen come to Carolina tonight to lead off Spring Weekend with a con cert in the Coliseum.

It is expected to be printed and introduced next week, with debate beginning the week of April 8. Rep.

According to another committee member, Rep. Tom Mangum, D Lancaster, the committee recoin mnendled $1.25 million more than the Budget and Control Board.

This year's budget is $12,752,316. Following the board's recommen dation of a $13,461,270 b ud g et, U SC administrative o ff iei als brought down the request to $3.8 million in additional funds.
