Last year it dropped to 71 and this year to 67. University President Thomas F. ex,acrig toCM Haol is an buses wll aso b net nrnI ents Igh Jones announced its closing Wednesday during the University budget request before the State Budget and Control Board. Whether it will close June 30, 1970 or after one or more sessions of summer school is unclear. Despite its normally low registration, the campus did have summer school this year. University officials have speculated that many of the students and prospective students will transfer to the Beaufort, Aiken or Columbia campuses. The Florence campus is the first to top 500 students--they have 504 students this semester. Enrollment at the other regional campuses includes Spartanburg 463, Conway--418, Lancaster--347, Aiken--306, Beaufort--278, Union 179 and Salkehatchie--67. William C. Casper of the regional campus staff praised the regional campus system at a recent press conference sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, claiming, "One of our greatest advantages is we are still small. "With the continued growth of the University there are hordes of tib-nts handing on the door of the main campus. The regional campuses relief this pressure." Casper said he does not expect a serious effort this year to sever the regional campuses from the University, "The regional cam puses are serving the needs of the people. The state feels at the present time that this is the best solution to the problem." He denied that the regional campuses represent any danger to the University's accreditation. He said the entire regional campus system has gone through two self studies for accreditation and a separate one for each campus. The regional campuses will go through another self study next year as part of the University's reaccreditation. October 22 vespers. The Baptist Student Center, 630 p m Young Republicans, S p m .
