Also aluminum cans, a bottle of polluted Congraee River water, a cigar, a box of high phosphate detergent and a package of birth contr,ol pills, symbolizing the growing population problem. An optimistic viewpoint con cluded the series of Environmental Issues lectures last night. John Burham, a nuclear engineer associated with Battelle Northwest. Battelle Memorial Institute, Richland, Wash., was introduced as a selfconfessed 'reformed polluter." "Men, Machines and Money" was Burham's topic, and he grouped the earth's major pollution problems into these three areas. Burham said that before earth's environment problems can be solved, the average man must evolve into what he called "omni man", meaning omniscient. "He 'houiu have a broad overlook that includes e,ocial, economic, moral as well as technological values. As idealistic as this may be, I think this national teach-in gives credence to the fact that this could happen."

Accords 1 on drug JIM WANNAMAKER Editor-in-Chief Outside police will hereafter take a member of the Campus Security Force with them on all searches or arrests on campus except when in hot pursuit, ac cording to University President Thomas F. Jones. The assistance of the University police is the only result Jones was willing to disclose from his closed meeting yesterday with representatives of several local and state police agencies. The group released a statement in which Jones called the meeting azy dirt ea kers ifically, that man must overcome the present fear complex that he work seriously now on stabilizing population at a zero rate of growth and that his is willing and able to put time, money and effort into research and analysis of the problems. "Within our present political and economic structure we have the tools to solve our problem." B3urham said. The important thing now is to get on with it. We must get out of this arm-waving, finger pointing, emotional state." In relation to the problem of men. Burham said that the debate over what population the United St ates can support should be stopped."The whole environment knows no national boundaries.' he said. Regarding money, Burham listed the problems of changing to a zero growth economy. He said that it would be necessary to have realized a flat population growth rate, recognize that the standard of living would stay constant or possibly go down, and suppress the desire for invention, for achievement and for suitable reward for our work. "So4me ot the radicals in the country have suggested that the onlt way we ('an solve this problem is to destroy the establishment. This won't worli."

The faculty was in agreement of "departing from a rigid curriculum and approving a more flexible one." Though many aspects of the program have not been worked out, greater flexibility could mean fewer required courses for freshmen and sophomores and more possible option. The bill, if passed, will only effect students entering the College of Arts and Science in the fall of 1971 One of the most controversial issues, the making of foreigri languages optional, will still be a topic of discussion at the next faculty meeting but the proposal has not been modified or altered.

S.C. House passes bond bill The South Carolina House passed Tuesday a $114 million capital improvements bond package that includes for the University the largest amount it has ever received. Although the $114 million was a five per cent cut from the $120 million originally in the bill, Harold Brunton, vice president for business affairs at USC, said this would still meet University needs. He said that he was very en thusiastic about the bond bill as it stands in spite of the cut. The bond bill included nearly $50 million for state institutions of higher learning, $33 million for expansion of the state ports and provides for improvements at state parks and faciWti" for other institutioms. .
