'Old soldiers never die, young ones do... c i why?' SVol. LXI-No. 29 ------------ -University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. 29208 Wdnesday, Novem -----~~be -8 --- 9 This fire-breathing dragon Is the International Week art c Student at strate By GLENDA MILLER Staff Writer The student safety patrol at USC will begin operating tonight. This patrol is ihe result of "the cooperative efforts of students, Student Government and campus security officials to provide ad ditional safety on campus," George A. Key. director of campus security, said. The initial stage of the program involves two patrols which will cover two main areas, one north of * Green Street and the other south of Green Street. he said. The location of the girls' dormitories and Russell House are included in these patrol areas. SGA director of security Howard Comen said that more then 100 applications were received for the safety patrols. The students who have been selected will work in groups of two men each. Comen said. These students will receive a salary under the University's work-study program and were selected on the basis of their interest, ap plications, interviews and finan cial need, he said. Each member of the patrol is equipped with a walkie-talkie and a liashlight. Presently, each man is wearing an identification tag which will later be replaced by a badge. C'omen said. Trhe patrols will work from a p.m. to midnight each night of the week. The primary function of the patrol is to walk around campus and report anything unusual to * security headquarters via the walkie-talkies. The security police can reach any place on campus within three minutes if a problem *, is reported. Comen said. Expenses of the program include salaries for patroling students and walkie-talkies, flashlights and badges for each man. Comen said. These expenses are paid by 'normal university funds," Key said. "and the total cost of the program has not been determined, vet."~ A similar program involving student participation had been considered before this fall's in cidents and assaults occurred, but these events have hastened the actual use of a student safety patrol. Key said. "Other schools have students involved with campus safety in varying degrees, but I don't know of any school with a student safety patrol,"' Key said. Students serving on the safety patrol attended a meeting Tuesday night to discuss situations which may arise and how to handle them, the use of walkie-talkies, the function of the patrol and to meet other patrol members, Comen said.

Internatioi 'Peacl By ROn BIGALKE, Staff Writer When the International Students took over the Russell House last Friday night and occupied the building throughout the weekend, a transformation took place on second floor. USC students representing various foreign countries and the United States worked literally all weekend creating colorful displays to promote the theme of In ternational Week, "Peace Through Understanding." The major displays were designed by the Chinese Students Club and the India Students Club. Henry Chang, President of the Chinese Students Club, remarked that setting up the displays "is our pleasure. We go here to get our degrees and we want to nourish your culture and at the same we want to introduce some of our culture and customs to Americans. International Week presents a good opportunity to present our life and customs. We are glad to do it." Chang and the Chinese Students Club have built a replica of a Chinese house, where, in addition to displaying Chinese palace lanterns, there is a handmade, hand-painted replica of a dragon, the national symbol of China. Photographs on the rear wall depict scenes of China. The main features of the house, however, are the Chinese writing shop and in structions in the use of chopsticks. We will translate English Stadium bids ann< By B() (R APT Staff Writer Bids for the expansion of Carolina Stadium were announced Wednesday at a meeting held in the Campus Room of Capstone. Harold Brunton, vice-president for Business Affairs, opened the meeting and told the gathering about Paul Dietzel's coming to the University in 1966. Brunton said there are many people who have misconceptions about the priorities of the building program. He said the building program is composed of three separate entities; first the auxiliary buildings such as dor mitories that pay for themselves; second, academic buildings; and third, special projects such as the enlargement of the Cockpit. Brunton said funds for the stadium expansion were acquired by several different means; in cluding the $1 seat tax, the $I(0,000 dlonation from the Athletic D)epart ment and from student fees. Brunton explained the bids and how~ they would be presented. Hie saidI eac-h company bidding would give a base bid and that this bid Chinese h al Week ' 9thei writing to Chinese for poetry, phrases, letters and names," Chang said. Prices are twenty-five cents for translation and ten cents for in struction in the use of chopsticks. Another feature of the Chinese exhibition is the display case where various artifacts of Chinese life may be seen. Included are figurines, a hat and masques from Chinese drama. On the wall facing into the main lobby are extremely valuable paintings from Taiwan, three pictures and one with writing. "In China, writing is an art," Chang said. "There can be many different ways of depicting a letter." In the alcove near the elevator are more paintings done by the Chinese students themselves. "These are national paintings," Chang said.

He said there would be a first alternate bid that would cover the estimated cost of adding 14.966 seats and a second alternate bid that would complete the media boxes and add 15.988 seats. There were also other alternate bids, but these were for minor things such as seat styles. asphalt, and paint. Brunton relinquished the floor to Tom Faris. director of planning. who opened the bids. The low base bid for the project was from McD)ivitt and Street of Charlotte. N.C. at $5.1:38.4wM.ooi.

A mural on the main wall of the lobby features a painting of the first Emperor of the Ming dynasty and another mural, a huge dragon, hangs over the table of the Indian Students Club. Shyam Verma of the India Students Association, said that the Indians felt the "truth about India should be depicted. We wanted to show things the way they really are, to let people know about In dia." The students were most in terested in displaying handicrafts such as art, paintings and weaving. "We brought rare art and a variety of artifacts and dolls from India. Another important aspect of India is the variety of languages. We decided to have a sign saying 'Greetings' in several Indian languages. We also painted a session C F oard's using the assembly as a means of attacking USC and Dr. Thomas F. Jones. Steve Smith, chairman of the USC delegation, said that the barring of the press had been misunderstood by the news media. Foard addressed the students after a resolution censuring his verbal attacks on the University and Dr. Jones had been introduced by the Carolina delegation. Smith said. "Mike Spears. the remainder of the USC delegation and I were resolved to the fact that Mr. Foard would use this resolution, the SCSSL and the press to level additional false attacks on USC and President Jones. This could not be tolerated." Smith said that for that reason a request was made to hold the assembly in executive session. 'Mr. Foard entered the chamber and presented his case to the students from every part of the state We were convinced that his rem arks would support the resolution r'ather than its defeat and that it did."~ Smith said. ''lis ilFoard's> I lagrant aiccutsations ai med at members of the Ulniversity were sometime's humorous to all of the delegates it was obvious that his assumpt ions had no basis of support Tlhis r'esuilted in aiding the passage of the resolution, and we ar' evr appre(ciative of his help.''

Other things which the Indian students felt to be important are the facts that dress varies from region to region in India and the two types of music in India, kar natic and Hindustani. "There are even different kinds of instruments from place to place, particularly the strings and per cussion instruments." According to Barney Oliver, chairman of the International Committee, approximately $800 has been raised for the Little USC project. $1440 is needed to adopt ten children. This amount is the goal set by the committee. "We're asking people to come by and donate their money - their pennies, their nickels, their dimes - - to help our cause," Oliver said. losed usage basis of their past news coverage which has supported the student viewpoint." WIS-TV was the only mediti allowed in the chamber during Foard's address. 'Immediately after the exit of Mr. Foard. the Assembly recessed. Upon reconvening, the ammended resolution was passed by the House with little dissent and went on to the Senate for another approval." Smith said. "Members of the University delegation considered this a tremendous victory in the retaliation against the false ac cusations and allegations of Solicitor Foard."
