The University may have a black

Eleven members of Alien
University's Beta Rho chapter of
Kappa Alpha Psi and two pledges
are seeking colony status at USC.
All 13 are USC students.
"I'm in favor of it," said Inter
Fraternity Council (IFC)
President Burt Rosen. "I see no
real problem arising from their
seeking to become a colony.
"A colony is not a fraternity. It's
a trial to prove that they are
capable of being a fraternity."
The brothers are seeking a
recommendation for a campus
charter today from the Student
Affairs Committee. They are
seeking it as the Kappa Interest
Club The next step is acceptance
as a colony from the fraternity's
national office. After that, they
must be approved as a colony by at
least a two-thirds vote of the IFC
council.

He commented that the com

factors before making the
decision. He added it was realized
that the University had made five
coolers in

refrigerators as a service to the
students amounting to a financial
committment of more than $90,000.
According to Rosen, the

been turned over to the residence

In October the University had
contracted to get 1200
refrigerators, but only 835 were
rented by students.
Freshman Senator Tom Ingram
of Mens Towers who attended the
committee meeting Thursday
remarked that the Senate com
mittee would probably write a
new bill in light of the decision of
the Refrigerator Committee.

Editor-In-Chief
Carolina's $112 million ex
pansion plans, already under fire
from off-campus, began
boomeranging on campus this
week.
Law students launched a
vigorous campaign to push a new
law school.
Thirteen faculty members
arranged for a special faculty
meeting to discuss University
expansion and the athletic
program.
And a spokesman for Gov.
Robert E. McNair said the
governor would "probably op
pose" the present University plan
"because it doesn't fall into line
with his priorities list."
In the administration. Dr.
William H. Patterson, University
provost, suggested priorities might
be rearranged if state funds were
forthcoming, and Harold Brunton,
vice president for business affairs,
stressed "the particular sequence
of priorities. i not nearly as im
portant as the fact that all the
items requested are of a top, must
priority."
At issue was a $112 million
growth plan formally begun
Monday. The five-year plan calls
for $97 million in state funds, with
10 items requested for the 1970-71
vear.
First priority was shared by a
new library and enlarged stadium.
Next, in order, came new schools
of nursing, law and business ad
ministration, an administration
building, two dormitories and a
parking garage.
Law students were the first to
object. Led by the Student Bar

BY ALICE PARSONS
Staff Writer
The Student Bar Association
(SBA) wants to know why the
expansion of Carolina Stadium has
been given a higher priority than
the building of a new law school.
In a resolution Wednesday night,
the Association protested the
recent switch in building priorities
b.v the administration and the
board of truestees.
A proposal was made to meet
with University President Thomas
F. Jones Monday to discuss the
priority switch and a letter is to be
sent to Governor Robert E. Mc
Nair asking for a thorough in
vestigation of the matter.
According to the resolution, the
Student Bar Association asks that

Association, they undertook a
drive to move the new law school
higher than fourth priority.
Meanwhile, in a reaction against
number one ranking for the
stadium. 13 professors petitioned
Dr. John Welsh, secretary of the
faculty, for a special faculty
meeting.
Under faculty rules, a special
meeting must be called within
seven days after a petition of 10
voting .members. "We could have
had more signatures, but we didn't
need them." one professor said.
Welsh said a special faculty
meeting has been tentatively set
for Wednesday afternoon. It will
probably follow an agenda
proposed by the petitioners, he
added.That agenda includes
disc'ission of faculty control over
athletics. the place of in
tercollegiate athletics in the
University program. "the position
of the athletic director" and "the
necessity for a new stadium."
It also expressed concern about
the University's priorities.
Noting that the two top priorities
'the new library and expanded
stadium) were fixed by the board
of trustees. Provost Patterson,
Carolina's number two ad
ministrator. emphasized that the
University doesn't have any funds
vet
"I suggest we wait and see what
we get and go from there," he
advised. He said the priorities
might be reconsidered when the
total of available funds is known.
Patterson had no comment about
why the enlarged stadium. at one
time ranked low on the list, was
listed first in the most recent plan.
Brunton. top business official in
the administration, said the
"current interest" shown by
students and faculty members
asserted Carolina's needs "more

"the state and its officials

SHA stated Wednesday night
that they were "gravely concerned

tivities --academic - not only for
the law school. but also for the

than anything we could possibly
do."
Outside the immediate
University, the program drew fire
from Gov. McNair. through his
press secretary Wayne Seal.
Seal told The Gamecock, the
governor is concerned about the
shifting of priorities in recent
months. "The fact that there's
announced opposition to this set of
priorities leads him (the governor)
to believe there could be a shift
again . . lie would like their
position solidified."
Seal said the governor probably
would oppose the present
priorities, which place a stadium
first. "There are too many other
things required in this state than
the stadium. We can get along
without that: we can't
..get along for too long without a
new library and some of these
other things," Seal said.
Both President Thomas F. Jones
and Athletic Director Paul F.
Dietzel were out of town and
unavailable for comment.
