comments
on issues
T. Eaton Marchant, nei
chairman of The Board of
Trustees, commented on a variety
of campus issues recently. They
included undercover agents posing
as students, the University'i
treatment of arrested students,
and Student Government.
UNDERCOVER NARCS
Marchant said he had "mixec
feelings" concerning undercovei
agents. "They are not desirabli
and normally we shouldn't have th
resort to using them, unless th4
physical security of the Universit3
is in danger," he added, "The
were necessary last May."
The new chairman disapproves
of full time narcotics agents
"unless the police have some
particular area under sur
viellance." "It connotes the the
entire University is suspect."
CONTRARY TO
LEGAL PROCEDURE
Under present University policy
if a student is arrested, subject t4
temporary suspension from th4
University until a hearing
determes whether the suspensior
should be permanent. Marchan!
said that "this runs -contrary tc
the legal procedure of 'innoceni
until proven guilty,' but It must bul
it must be used to prevent in,
terference with the normal
operation of the University. The
student is entitled to a speody 4n1
immediate hearing." He- also "ki
that an ktriest f6r selling drug
comes under the same heading,
Marchant said that "Maybe fur
ther study should be given to thia
problem," and suggested that
Student Government handle it.
STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
Marchant said he feels that
Student Government "deserves to
,be recognized and listened to," but
"should have broader par
ticipation from the students."
"Their desires should be con
sidered and if possible agreed to.
When it takes a position, then it
should be accepted unless there is
a very good reason why not."
"The lines of communication are
open to an extent, but not to the
amount they can and must be,"
Marchant said. "We are con
tinuing our efforts in this area and
will continue to do so. We're not
closed minded-at least I hope we're
not."
When asked about liberalized
dorm rules, Marchant said that he
is "not fully aware of the
restrictions."
He also commen~ted on extended
open house hours. "I don't see why
the time couldn't be extended to
the normal, dorm closing time."
"The University will be ex
panded to the extent we need to
serve the students. That's the
reason for the existance of the
University, the students," Mar
chant said about future building
plans. "Every qualified student
should be able to go to the
University, and crowded classes
and dorms must be worked on," he
said. "We are certainly trying to
keep up with it through requests to
the legislature."

USC's new coordinator of
minority student affairs is Charles
McMillian, who was formerly in
student personnel work at
Benedict College.
Working "principally with the
black students," McMillian will
deal with international students
"directly, and indirectly through
the foreign student advisor." His
main function with the black
students will be "in personal and
group matters and in referring
them to the proper supportive
services, when necessary."

The trees removed from the
front of Russell House this summer
were afflicted with Dutch elm
disease, according to Vice
President for Business Affairs
Harold Brunton.
"We expect all the elm trees on
campus to be dead of Dutch elm
disease before too many years,"
Brunton said. He continued that
the trees'would be replaced but
that the administration had been
waiting for the bad weather of the
summer to be over before
replanting. The replacement trees
will be tailen from the Blossom
Street parking lot which is
scheduled tobe torn up tobuld the
new parking garage.
The indignation of students at
not having been informed about
the sidUwalk changes was partially
justified, according to Bruton.
"Students were tod ab,..t the .

He is "not anticipating ani
