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"

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

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

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

:ommittee says that the quality of
heir food varies from week to
week. When complaints are made,
he food improves for a while.

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
