Vol. LXI NO. 41 University of SouthColumbi Wednesday, January 6; 197 -- - -- - -7- - Estate to grant millions. to USC ByBOBCRAFT Staff Writer $2.75 million of a $3.5 million gift from the estate of Mrs. T. H. Brice has been earmarked for the expansion of the Carolina stadium. The executors of the will and nephews of the late Mrs. Brice, Philip L. Edwards and Thomas W. Edwards said, "We feel this designated gift is particularly appropriate at this time, in view of the eminence which the athletic program has achieved under the outstanding direction of Paul Dietzel." The executors said, T. H. Brice graduated from the University's Law School, was an outstanding football player and took great intertst in the entire athletic program throughout his life. They said "We feel that he, too, would be pleased that his name will be associated in perpetuity with the new stadium." Mrs. Brice designated the executors with instructions to carry out certain specifics. One of these stated that no less than $1 million of the $13.8 million estate was to be spent for the erection of a building or buildings at USC, or at Epworth Children's Home in Columbia or at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Sumter or at the discretion of the executors divided among the three with the buildings to be named "The Williams-Brice Memorial Building." Also designated in the will is $500,000 to be used for "the construction of a new college of Nursing facility" and $250,000 to the Carolina regional campus at Conway, S.C. The executors said they feel the designation of $500,000 to the College of Nursing carries out Mrs. Brice's desire to serve in this area and sharing of the gift with Conway reflects the "grateful consideration for the family's long and affectionate association with the Conway area."

Dr. Perry Ashley, chairman of the petitions committee, spid that the proposal involved two areas. The first concerns the dropping of the "" from the grading system and the second is tl-.e need to "put the 'W' or withdrawal option back in the system," Dr. Ashley said. Under the proposed system, the grade of incomplete will be maintained but it will become an "N"' or "no credit" if the work is not completed within the specified time, the chairman siad. Students will receive either an "A". "". 'C" or "NC" for their final grades under the new system and there will be no "D's" or "F's" given as final grades, Dr. Ashley saitid. Numerical scales for grading will be individual professors. The system requires that students earn at least a "C" in a course before receiving credit for the course, he said. An important part of the proposal is the "forgiveness clause" which allows students receiving a ")" or "F" in a course to take the course a second time without having the railing grade calculated in his G.P.R. The clause provides for an academic year from September to September. D)uring this time the student must complete at least 50 per cent of the work carried or be subject to academic suspension, Dr. Ashley said. If a student is academically suspended, under the proposal, he stays out or school a year and can return the following year. There is no indefinite suspension and students may return to school within one year of their suspension Senate wrap up The Student Senate called for the suspension of classes Jan. 14 and 15 during its final session before the Christmas holidays. Designating the Thursday and Friday before exams as "Reading l)ays" the Senate bill states that final exams are "usually corn prehensive and that many students r have several exams during the first few days of the week." In other action the senate passed a resolution concerning grade a changes and a request for an ex tension of the hours of the South Caroliniana LUbrary.

Price, a member of the faculty senate, said te new grade proposal would raise the educational standards of the University. Price said othe'issues which may be discussed at the meeting include a report from the faculty advisory committee suggesting a ch:mge in the University calendar which would schedule exams before the Christmas holidays. Another issue before the faculty senate is the question of abolishing the physical education requirements for graduation, Price said. The faculty senate probably will discuss by-laws and rules related to their organization, Price siad. Price said that any of tw proposals before the faculty senate could receive a final vote today.

Chief Justice Joseph R Moss said in sufficient evidence was presented to show that Larry Hanapole and Terry Cobb were disorderly. Moss ruled the trespassing conviction invalid because the incident took place on public property at Columbia Metropolitan Airport. The trespass law prohibits intrusion into the "dwelling house, place of business or on the premises of another person."
