Isit USC, g needs the University is eligible for under the law. He conceded that there is a great demand across the country for these funds for the creation of, more facilities for nursing in struction. The federal government is authorized to make grants for up to two thirds of the cost of con structing additional space and up to one half the cost of construction replaceient space 'We$ope for support for i major portion of that for which we are ,qualified," Jones said, adding, "The need is so great that we must go ahead with the new building. The grant is not one of the major qualifying factors. We can't let it be." Jones said that the new building would enable an immediate 50 per cent increase in enrollment in the four-year program--from 80-90 students to almost 150. "We would like to go to 250 by the end of the decade," he added. The University operates three associate degree programs in nursing-one here, one at the Florence Regional Campus and one at the Spartanburg Regional Campus--and the four-year program here. Jones predicted that the associate degree program at Coastal Carolina will be reinstated by the fall of 1971. Jones praised the "completion record" of nursing students. Two thirds to three-fourths of the en trants in nursing finish their studies, he said, compared to only about one-half of students in general at the University. "For women students that's good work. They have one more reason to drop out--getting married." Carolina coed Marty Fa vantage of ast ekenm.s ...

Hh explained the Biblican ac- I count of the creation of the world as "proof that the world was made for man." "The biblical creation story is still heavily misunderstood. The story is frought with meaning and doctrine. It is an interpretation of human reflection...that our world is a scene of man's victory and defeat. "It points out five things: that man and his world are different from God; that man and his world belong together; man and his world are separated from non creation; man's world is subor dinated to man's domination; and that man and his world are God's creation." to faculty ny JIM WANNAMIAKER I Editor-in-(Chief4 Release of financial reports requested by the faculty will be delayed at least until it is approved by a new special committee created by the Board of Trustees.
