The program included official announcement of the decision to rebuild and enlarge Carolina stadium at its present location rather than build a complete new stadium elsewhere. The program for 1970-71, which was outlined in the Nov. 10 Gamecock. includes the stadium modification, a central ad ministration building, two new residence halls. a parking garage, a new law school, nursing school, business administration building, a new central library and utilities expansion. President Richard M. Nixon has asked states to halt constructioh in an effort to halt inflation--and the bond market is almost impossible due to inflation, state and University officials admit. Sen. Edgar A. Brown, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has said, "any new building is out of the question," while Gov. Robert McNair, and some other legislators have predicted that this will be a tight money year. Also President Nixon has asked that states halt construction to fight inflation. At the news conference Jones said, "I want to emphasize that we are not expanding in the true sense of the word, but rather catching up. "Carolina's building program during the past five years has not kept pace with her needs--in fact we have lost ground. We are now forced to play 'catch up'--to provide buildings now and to provide for continued growth." Jones added that USC has the highest utilization of facilities of any college or university in the state and a longer daily schedule, doubling up in use of existing facilities and the oldest buildings still in use. Ijarold Brunton. vice president for business affairs, said plans for the expansion program and requests for funds were sent to the st ate budget and control board last month, and as yet the ad minist ration has received no reply. Birunton said the University has asked the state for $97,000,000 and told the state that it would raise $15,000,000 from federal sources, private endowments and student to perform estra will, be featured this Thristmas formal.

"We hope that in five years the interest rates will go down." he said. "There is some confusion in the economic community as to when the rates will decrease. We have told the state of our acute need of all these top-priority facilities." Brunton added that it would be premature to say what the Closure under r lY. JIM WANNAMAKER Managing Editor Green Street United Method'st Church is--almost--out of the East Glencoe Urban Renewal Project.. The University, the city of Columbia. the S.C. Highway Department and the Columbia Housing Authority are "rather close" to an agreement on whether or not the church should be con demned, according to Harold Brunton, University vice president for business affairs. Indications are that the decision will be to drop the church property from the project: The University board of trustees has authorized the administration to consider releasing the church from the program, Brunton said, adding that--whatever decision is reached in the four-party con sulations--approval from the board of trustees is not needed. Brunton said that the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has given an opinion that the church can be removed from the project without jeopardizing the project. He said that the housing authority is in contact with the HUD regional office in Atlanta "every other day. The project can be adjusted at any time." Board Chairman Rutledge L. Osborne of Orangeburg said, "As far as I am concerned they can keep it "The bishop and the conference of the Methodist Church are in much better position to know where they need Methodist churches than I am," Osborne said in a telephone interview from his Orangeburg home. Osborne said that he was speaking for himself only and that the board had merely made the offer to the church--that the board has not authorized allowing the church to withdraw from the project. "We still have condemnation rights, but as far as I am con cerned. I would be unwilling to exercise them... far as I am concerned that's the end. I think the board will agree with me," Osborne said. Osborne said that no date has been set for further board action on whether or not to condemn the 'W oodyari under IF( "Woodyard Fund--USC" got into full swing Tuesday as the In terfraternity Council (IFC) began to formulate plans for raising money The Woodyard Fund has collected money in the Columbia area for over 30 years to purchase coal, oil and wood to heat the homes of the needy in the area.

"The biggest thing that is needed now is patience as the various elements are joined together for the relative benefit of the whole project." Brunton said, em phasizing the negotiations between the four parties. Brunton said that the church property has never been part of the land to be used for a new law school--"that's the southern half of the block."
