Stud By WOODY HINKLE Staff Writer Dr. David Lawrence, at professor in the USC geology' department, stressed student action as a major factor in insuring the future growth of the Univer sity. As a part of his "Booze and the Blues, the Comic and the Cosmic" lecture of the Last Lecture series, Dr. Lawrence said the the student can do a great deal more than he may realize towards the growth of USC. He added that he did not feel that the students at Carolina were "meeting their obligation to insure growth of the university." Dr. Lawrence said the students at USC are "seeming 'dull and 0 ertly unimaginative. This mpus is incredibly dull. There's no 'pazazz' "he said. He did qualify these statements by saying that this dullness manifests itself "only in what you can see." Dr. Lawrence said he would like to see Carolina students "use what they do have." Dr. Lawrence said that one way students may insure future growth of the University is simply through the support of the athletic teams. The chief factor in university growth is money, he said, and admittedly the number one factor towards obtaining money is the success of these teams.As an Gonzalo Leon officiates al ding of a Carolina couple T Maxcy Gregg Memorial ceremony, which was condi Hornec 'Year ( This weekend may be USC's biggest and most successful Homecoming.

Therefore, he concluded, the student may contribute to university growth by curing a complacency that now plagues the Carolina campus. Dr. Lawrence said that what USC needs is not so much a large number of cheers, but rather students that will cheer the ones we have. Another factor Dr. Lawrence presented as adding to the growth of the university is "obviously economic growth in the state of South Carolina. A more broadly based economy is needed in a state that now depends primarily on the textile industry." One way of attracting new industry, he said is through a "20th century liquor law." The present laws are "out of touch with reality" and thus prospective investors cannot think of South Carolina as a very modern state, he added. As for what the student at USC can do to in this respect, Dr. Lawrence said that "in addition to demonstration for an end to war, we should be interested in doing things that directly affect this state." This, he said, is the greatest challenge to the student because it 4 Dearly Belov the wed- the las iursday inLieC Park, TheLieC icted under perfori oming 1 )f thelI tomorrow night, sponsored by the University Union Dance and Concert committees.

Kelly says his need involves changing the attitudes of the people.South Carolina liquor laws are comical, yet what they represent is a microcosmic of what is cosmic," he stated. Dr. Lawrence's final factor for university growth and financial support is "a broad-based public support." He cited the recent Gamecock article on the university police and the uproar about the censorship of that article as an example of the students' failing to work for the university growth. He questioned whether this article was truly an example of journalistic expression. Lawrence 4Pza, added that what was involved was a question of "public and per manent vulgarity." He added that "the article in the Gamecock was not censored. A 17 year-old preacher's daughter would have been able to figure out what was going on." He stated that the Gamecock staff temporarily lost insight of the nature of its responsibility to the university. The administration was right because they had the long range interests of the university at heart. When questioned on attendance requirements, Dr. Lawrence said that he doesn't really care whether or not a student comes to class as long as he can do the work. However, it is a state law that a student must attend 75 percent of his classes, he said. Lawrence added that the present trend toward liberalization of class at tendance requirements is a good thing. He said that one must decide what kind of education students at this university should have and taking into consideration the fact that all "students are basically lazy," form a curriculum to meet the requirements. The institution of the pass-fail option has been a major step forward, he said.

"There will be a complete reevaluation of the entire elections meet er week Wednesday, with the alternate Wednesdays reserved for Senate committee meetings. Purpose of the change, ac cording to Sen. Brian Rines, the bill's author, is to give committees more time to study legislation. Defeated by Senate last week, the bill was recalled by Sen. Bill Smith and approved. Vice President Mike Spears strongly favors the legislation. Spears said that if the committees did their jobs, the regular Senate sessions could function more smoothly. He said that each committee would be expected to provide the Senate with majority and minority reports on proposed bills submitted to that committee. Spears said that the committees would not be required to meet every alternate Wednesday. He added, however, that he expected each committee to meet at least once before the Senate session. Spears said that disciplinary ac tion would be taken against a committee chairman for con sistently refusing to hold com mittee meetings. An equally important bill passed by the Senate this week was one establishing new rules and requirements for the USC Election Commission. The bill will take effect upon the signature of the Student Body President Barry Knobel. The bill provides that the Election Commission will consist of ten members and a chairman. The chairman is to be a senior who has been elected to an office during spring or fall elections at some time in his undergraduate career.
