He said the board asked him and several other officials to make recommendations. DISCIPLINE He suggested a special disciplinary committee to give students hearings. They would be able to have an attorney present and would know the charges against them. Foard explained that a student would have to notify this com mittee after being charged with a crime. The committee would then temporarily suspend the student.

Foard went on to say that "if a group of people want to say most anything - if that's all they did - that's not a matter for prosecution. "I did not feel that people should be prosecuted becausd they disagreed with the government and other things of that nature." Foard said that the law en forcempnt problem at the University is "very serious." 'it -should- 'be- clvaiad - up. Violations should be held to a minimum. One of the reasons drug usage h4s increased is that en forcement of the law is not as strong as it should be," Foard said. Referring to charges that he is responsible for the closed door policy in Russell House, he -said that in March, he and J. P. Strom, head of the State Law En forcement Division met with the Board of Trustees. "This matter could not be made public at that time. I showed the Board certain materials which came from the Russell House distributed by the UFO in Exile. We also discussed the pill problem. I did not make recommendations as to what should be done." He concluded by saying that the UFO case would not affect his reelection to the office of solicitor this year because he had no op position. He also said he has no - ambitions for higher off ice.

Despite an V .11.9 per cent in crease over the current operating budget, the approved figure represents a commitment on the part of the University to spend for basic requirements only. Reflecting the tight money policy of the State of South Carolina, President Thomas F. Jones told members of the Board of Trustees Saturday, the 1970-71 budget will require close budget control during the coming year. "There are many things we feel we must do in the near future to continue the growth and im provement of higher education in South Carolina," he said. "However," he continued, "the coming year will find us pretty much holding the line. There will be some modest improvements in some areas but no spectacular evidence of growth over-all. We have a mandate from State government to tighten our belts a little and this we will do without placing any of our existing programs in jeopardy." TOTAL BUDGET The total University budget for 1970-71 is expected to reach $4C million. The current total budget of the University is approximately $37 million. The gross University budget covers such auxiliary services as food and housing which, by statute must be self supporting. The operating budget of the Vnivprsity. cyerik administratiop, academic areas, advanced studies and research, libraries, main tenance, law enforcement and the operation of the regional cam puses. The new operating budget will not allow cost-of-living increases for staff and faculty, not permit improvement in faculty staffing and not allow increases in libraries or maintenance except for normal growth. ENROLLMENT In preparing the 1970-71 budget preliminary estimates indicated a 9.6 per cent increase in student enrollment. Current estimates revise the increase down to 6.8 per cent. The new estimate reflects a decided decline in the enrollment of out-of-state students, par. ticularly those from states neigh boring South Carolina. Jones said some aspects of thE budget will be subject to further review by the Executive Coin Spring Thinq Body Painting Qn the back 'It' said 'Made in ees 0l ting I mittee of the Board of Truste once figures for research and oth4 items become availabli "Research commitments V next year are beginning to come J at a rapid rate as the end of th fiscal year approaches," he sia4 The Board of Trustees met ov Trustee, 1.6 po icy o The Board of Trustees ha at 4 p.m. tomorrow, at wt make some statement coi Atlantic Coast Conference, The 'Trustee Athletic C Faculty Athletic Commiti which the Board of Trustee! and discuss the recent ACC C.

There has been speculation for some time that USC would leave the conference'tthe'changes wert not made. The major deterrant to withdrawal from the conference is the clause in the ACC constitution that prevents conference members from playing independents in their area whose academic requirements are lower than the ACC's.
