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."

proposed
Members of the University of
South Carolina's Faculty Senate
will meet this afternoon in Currell
College at 5 p.m.
They will consider the new
grading system proposal. 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

an unlimited amount of times, he
said.
Henry T. 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.

By CHARLES FELLENBAUM

On December 18, 1970, the South Carolina
Supreme Court overturned the convictions
of two former USC students for trespassing
and disorderly conduct at a demonstration
when President Nixon visited the state 18
months ago.
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."

This part of the ruling could affect the
cases of 42 persons who were arrested under
the same law in Russell House during the
disturbances last May.
An assistant attorney general said that "if
it is clear that this case does control it, we
would agree to a dismissal."
The case was handled by the American
Civil Liberties Union. It was the first appeal

Supreme Court since organizing in S.C. two
