Green Street Methodist Church
has lived through some bad years
in its present location, according to
Rev. Murray Yarborough.
"Now, we want to live through
some good," the church's pastor
continues.
In the church's location on the
corner of Green and Assembly
streets. Yarborough sees an
outlook of a bright future.
The church's congregation
which was once 1,000 had in recent
years slipped to 200, but is now up
to 300.
However, the location of the 93
year-old church falls within the
boundaries of the East Glencoe
Urban Renewal Project. The
church has been fighting to
maintain Its property since 1967.
The battle which has been waged
between Green Street United
Methodist Church and the
University officials was intensified
Tuesday when the University
announced future plans for use of
the church property.
USC announced that the church
property would become part of a
law school complex to be built In
an area bordered by Main, Devine,
Assembly and Grean.

Carolina students have 115 more
courses to choose from this year.
They will spend less time in
these courses- each week.
Students will take fewer foreign
language courses which will differ
in content from those of last year.
Most classes will meet only 45
minutes a session as they have
since the faculty reduced the
sessions from 50 to 45 minutes last
spring on an experimental basis.
Three credit courses will meet 15
minutes less per week, or 225 less
per semester than they did under
the 50 minute schedule. This
change was adopted April 2.
A permanent decision on class
length was to have been made at
the summer faculty meeting. No
action was taken according to
University Provost William
Patterson.
Patterson said that the 45 minute
classes will be maintained as he
feels that they represent the latest
faculty action. "If they want to
change, we will be glad to adopt
any system the committee comes
up with."
The committee is the Faculty
Advisory Committee. Last year it
recommended University adoption
of a modified five-day class
schedule.
But the recommendation was to
the Academic Advisory Council, an
advisory body to the president of
the University, not to the faculty,
which could possibly take direct
action. ,
"We've made a lot of studies, but
have taken no final action," said
Patterson, who is also council
chairman.

"The block In question is con
sidered of prime importance to the
growth and continuity of com
munity service by USC," ac
cording to University board
chairman Rutledge Osborne.
The announcement, according to
Osborne, follows a complete
review of the situation by the
University.
According to Osborne, the
trustees feel that the congregation
of Green Street Church will not be
destroyed If It is moved, par
ticularly if It Is moved to a location
near the projected perimeter of
USC.
Methodist Bishop Paul Hardin
Issued a statement saying: "We
believe that we are better judges of
that than the University trustees,
and we say that for several basic
reasons it cannot be - to move it Is
to kill it."
Yarborough further explained
the church has several reasons for
Insisting on remaining in its
present site. The church would not
be able to survive In the proposed
future locations of the church, he.
said.
Not only would it be In com
petition with other churches in a
future location, but It would be out
of walking distance for the
students, he said.

She made only one mistake.
She told them graduation was at

turned in her cap and gown, with
President Jones she faced her

hopes later to have screens in the

students may review their lessons.
The department also hopes to

Rather than using translations,
