South Carolina State. Student
Legislature considered prison
reform, legalized abortions, en
ding capital punishment and state
lottery laws this week.
A number of bills and
resolutions sponsored by the USC
delegation are under con
sideration. Others have been
defeated in committees or
sessions.
Jim Corley and Bob Chapman
introduced a bill to the Senate
Wednesday calling for the
establishment of regional chain
gangs and prison camps under
state supervision. It would place
all penal institutions under the
control and supervision of the
Director of Corrrections.
Tidwell e
anti-war I
By HARRY HOPE

It has been about two and half
years since Gen. William C.
Westmoreland came to USC to
receive an honorary doctor of laws
degree.
That day, a faculty member rose
up out of the audience holding a
placard which read "I protest
Doctor of War degree," and
walked out,
Dr. Thomas T. Tidwell was
formally censured by the
University for his act of protest.
Now he looks back on this act
saying "It was a case of having
reached the point of showing that
all the people at the Universtiy or
in the state don't approve of the
war."
Stating that his views have not
changed since then, he added that
he had been opposed to the war in
Vietnam five years ago. "I still am
completely opposed to the war in
Vietnam," he commented.
Tidwell like other members of
the chemistry department faculty
is engaged in a research project
for the Army. He is also working on
projects sponsored by the
Petroleum Research Funds and
National Institutes of Health. In all
he is engaged in four simultaneous
projects.
Tidwell believes that his
research for the Army does not
necessarily conflict with his
ethical beliefs.
"I couldn't be an organic
chemist without being involved in
some military work," he stated. "I
am very concerned with the fact
that the military sponsors so
miuch research."
He commented that his project,
Mechanisms of Induced Decom

According to Corley, "absolutely
no effort is made, in most cases, to
rehabilitate the prisoners, "which
is ostensibley the purpose of the
institutions. "Formerly, and even
now," he continued, "Labor is
considered to be the legal
obligation of the.prisoner."
A similar bill passed the House
with no opposition, but Corely's bill
was defeated in the Senate. Corely
stated that he will make every
attempt to have the proposal
recalled.

Chief of Reporters
In a speech given Wednesday
night, Edwin J. Ennis, chairman of
the national American Civil
Liberties Union, told an audience
at Capstone Campus Room that
freedom is a reality in the United
States.
Ennis, who spoke under the
auspices of the University Union
Lectures Committee, stated that
both students and criminals had
gained freedom.
He cited cases which students
had won with the assistance of
ACLU, mostly concerning long
hair and manifestations of student
and black power.

Criminals are also getting their
rights. Ennis added that criminal
courts should not invade the
private life of individuals. For
example, adultry is a felony in
some states but there has been no
prosecution since 1875.
"The position of the ACLU is that
the private sexual conduct of
consenting adults is private con
duct in which the federal govern
ment does not have sufficient in
terest to make a crime.
"Criminal law should step back
and say 'This is not our concern'."
Ennis added that ACLU feels
that the use of marijuana and the
abortion laws should be liberalized
because the government does not

"In our society perhaps more
than any other freedom is a reality
and not a myth," he said. "But
freedom will not be protected
unless the people want it. Freedom
is a constant struggle.. .unless you
want it so the Supreme Court will
not maintain it and a lawyer will
not take a case for you. If you do
not pursue freedom the govern
ment will continue to exert controll
on private conduct."
Ennis, addes that peaceful
demonstrations are covered under
freedom of speech and only are
they subject to censor if they torn
into riots.
Often there are attempts to
restrict these demonstrations
because they are embarassing to
the government.
When Ennis learned that a
parade permit had been denied for
the Vietnam protestors on
November 15, he said that he was
sure the case would be taken to
court soon. Previous anti-war
demonstrations have been
peaceful.
If there is trouble and a permit
has been obtained through the
courts, Ennis added that the blame
should be placed on the Court
notthe government.

talk about them but to do
something about teem."
Ravenel figured that 100 million
dollars would be required yearly in
the initial drive to bring the state's
educational level up to the national
level. He said that if elected
Governor, he would employ the
"Reagan plan" to raise the money.
"Nearly 40 million dollars could
be trimmed from the state's
budget," he argued. "I believe that
from 10 to 15 million can be cut
from the Highway Department's
budget alone."
He said that "special task for
ces" would be organized if he were
elected. These tasks forces would
be composed of prominent people,
experts in their respective fields,
who would be willing to work on the
various problems facing the state
and to some up with ideas for
raising additional revenue.
"These people would receive no
salary," Ravenel remarked.
"They would have to be willing to
contribiute their time for a better
South Carolina."
He men'ioned the reform of S.
C. 's liquor saws as a possible way
of raising 'money for better
education. "I would assign a
committee, composed of liquor
store dealers and p'eople like Bob
Jones J.r., to study the problem,"
Ravenel outlined. "Then," he
added, "I would step aside and let
them do their work."
