Mae II Vol. LX-No. 43 Facult The USC faculty voted unanimously in a closed meeting Wednesday afternoon to accept a resolution calling for the post ponement of any construction on the present stadium or the building of a new one. Presented by Dr. William H. Wesson Jr., for himself and about 25 other faculty members, the' resolution called for "the post ponement until such time as a variety of urgent academic needs including at least a new library, a new building for the Law School, the School of Nursing and the College of Business Ad ministration, have been provided for." Wesson said. "The faculty is acting as a matter of conscience. There is a lot of cause for student protest, but this action is not a direct effect of it." Dr. John Welsh, professor of English and secretary of the faculty. commented that "people feel very strongly about this. It's a matter of principle: we're saying that academic things come first." "It's hard to talk about all the needs because South Carolina is a relatively poor state." Both professors acknowledged the vote "was not a matter of personalities, but that certain needs are past due fulfillment." One faculty member, new to Carolina this fall, said, "it was clearly a case of the president being caught in the middle." Dr. Jones simply wanted to air his views," he continued. "The argument by Dr. Jones was feeble because he knew what the outcome would be." "I have taught at several other schools, but I have never seen such unanimity by a faculty." he con cluded. In a statement to the faculty USC President Thomas F. Jones said the Board of Trustees had placed the stadium and library expansion in first place because they felt this was in the best interest of the university. This position was taken. Jones said, because the library serves the total academic community. The stadium was placed first because it serves the whole state and community. Also, it is hoped! the stadium expansion could be financed largely from funds developed out of use of athletic facilities. Jones added, however, that "ultimate determination of priorities will depend on the monies made available by the Board of Trustees." Welsh noted that the faculty had all legislative powers in academic matters, "subject to review of the president and the Board of Trustee" GA Urtiversity c votes Senate Dr. William H.

I Slater pi 0a juggle $6,ooo in the red this semester, RA-Slater Services announced hanges that will reduce operation osts and hopefully increase sales olume next semester. The an ouncement came after a cafeteria ommittee meeting Wednesday. Recommendations that will go ito effect after the Christmas ecess include: opening the Cock pit Room in Russell House for lnch Monday through Friday: losing all cafeterias after lunch on riday with the exception ot Tne amecock Room. Russell House afeteria, Bates House Cafeteria nd Top of Carolina; limiting the umber of choices on the menu to rovide hotter food and perhaps lwer prices; and limiting the enu in the faculty and staff ining areas or increasing their rices. Long range changes recom- 1 ended were an optional 14-meal oard Plan, except for Bates ouse and the Roost, and offering oupon books as a convenience nly, not at a discount.

Secretary of the Faculty will ce University investigate the possibilities of another national food service first accepting the same contract Slater has, and secondly taking over some of the outlying cafeterias. Slater and the University contend that the control of all campus dining facilities by one food service saves money. A proposal that Knobel's recommendations, along with Slater's four recommendations, be accepted was passed unanimously. Slater's campus facilities are >perated on a non-profit basis, but 'or the second year, Slater is losing noney at Carolina. The Board 'lan was cancelled this semester ecause less than 20 per cent of on :ampus students used it. Ed WcFadden, vice president of the ['owers government, said that tudents were upset by the can :ellation of the board plan. A urvey of 142 Towers residents revealed that 91 favor an American plan like that at Bates Iouse if the food is as good.'ITirty ive of these would like a five-day plan, while 17 prefer the seven-day plann f South Carolina, Columbia, academ asks p. Talking it over lains the are Univer d in the Jones and Listening John Welst -oposals )od servi acilities have forced Slater to educe operating costs. Siater gave three reasons for the rop in student use of the afeterias. These mnclude students running out of money and crimping on food costs," "eating ore frequently at drive-ins and franchised restaurants around the ampus." and "eating more snacks in their rooms." Discussion at the cafeteria ommittee meeting revolved around the success of the American Board Plan at Bates ouse. and a request from Men's owers officials that Towers esidents have an optional board lan. Slater officials claim the Board lan is the only way to maintain a arge number of cafeteria facilities mn campus. The Bates House food :ommittee says that the quality of heir food varies from week to week. When complaints are made, he food improves for a while. Barry Knobel, student body peident, pennnsed that the Fridoy, Decanber 19,1969 Is first 1hange By DON BAB Staff Writer The student Senate passed a resolution Wednesday urging that the building of a new law school and new nursing school be given number one priority. The building of a new library was designated as the number two priority while the proposed new football stadium was given third priority. However, the resolution specified that if the stadium could be financed by some means which would not interfere with the con struction of the academic facilities, it could then retain its present number one priority. John G. Beasley, assistant to University President Thomas F. Jones, defended the present priorities and Clinch Belser, a law student, spoke on the need for a new law school. In other business, the Senate passed a bill to permit the use of private refrigerators in University dorms. The bill requires that their amperage not exceed 1.00 and that students owning private coolers pay a three dollar electricity fee and a $.25 license fee each semester. The bill provides that students already owning private refrigerators be allowed to keep them for the rest of the semester without applying to the bills other provisions. Student Body President Barry Knobel sent a communique to the Senate saying he supported students wishing to own private refrigerators and he intended to issue an executive order to the Administration asking them to clarify their position on the issue. The Senate also altered basketball ticket distribution. The bill calls for stricter checking of students using their own iden tification cards. It also stipulates that each of the five class groups be alotted 20 per cent of the tickets available. Prime tickets, all low seats and medium high seats, will be evenly distributed between the senior and law-graduate groups. Date and spouse tickets will no longer be stamped. Instead, the orrect end of the ticket will be torn off to distinguish the tickets From general admission tickets. lso, special wheel-chair seats will e available to students at no harge upon their request. Another bill passed by the Senate provides for the publication of the ARA-Slater charter with the niversity in The Gamecock before the semester break. It also stipulates that a representative from Slater be invitd to appear
