Hernandez asserted that "South

"We are cohesive against com

Another purpose of the mission,

The University's expansion pro
gram came under attack Wednes
day in a recommendation to the
Student Senate by Harold Kirtz,
student government secretary for
intercommunity affairs.
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

William A. Collins, assistant di

Collins said he would leave his
position with the University April

have" among others.
Collins has been managing editor
of the Greenwood Index-Journal,
city editor of the State and a writ

position, Collins was dir!ctor of
public relations for Blue Cross

Collins dlescribed his new posi

Promoted to news editor of the

"The University can go only so
far before the community will not
support it. We hope the Univer

said, "but the University keeps

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

"The University must exert

Kirtz pointed out that although
the University does not have the

In other Senate action, a resolu

The Senate also passed a bill re

The bill states that no nomi

To Debate
priation
The bill--a record $465 million
for the st.ate-was agreed on Tues
day by the House Ways and Means
Committee. It is expected to be
printed and introduced next week,
with debate beginning the week of
April 8.
Rep. Luther Wright, D-Chester,
a member of the House Ways and
Means Committee, said the USC
appropriation would be "in the
general area" of the recommenda
tion of the state Budget and Con
trol Board.
According to another committee
member, Rep. Tom Mangum, D
Lancaster, the committee recoin
mnendled $1.25 million more than
the Budget and Control Board.
That includes about $1 million for
salary increases, $80,000 to expand
the nursing program and $197,000
for research.
The board recommended in its
final report to the state legislature
in February a $708,954 budget in
crease.
Originally, USC asked for about
$8.5 million in additional funds.
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.
"We're anxiously waiting to hear
from the Ways and Means Com
mittee with t h e i r recommenda
tions," Harold Brunton, vice presi
dent for business affairs, said
Tuesday.
