To reduce the need for book renewals the normal loan period for books from the McKissick Memorial opr Undergrausate and Science Libraries has been increased to three weeks. Library hours of the McKissick Medical University Marchant, about mor< The chairman of the USC Board of Trustees and a member of the Higher Education Commission says he shares stated reservations of Dr. James Morris, Com missioner of Higher Education about adding 45 freshmen to the Medical University of South Carolina this fall. T. Eston Marchant said he also agreed that the additional enrollment represented a sub stantial change in Medical University policy and should have been submitted to the commission for approval. "To compound the situation," Marchant said, "the Medical University apparently has ad mitted it does not have the clinical facilities to support this increase." Marchant said Dr. Harrison Peeples, a member and trustee of the Medical University told commission members last week the enrollment increase depends on providing adequate clinical training in a student's last two~ years. "The question has not been resolved as to what will happen to thee already-enrlled 4s ernments House semester. Further violations by these students w B1 result in their being required move out of University housin ,"Fidler said. "The University l1 not tolerate abuses. The action against these students will serve as an example of that." Fidler said the Board f Trustees has approved open ho on a trial basis and the program is subject to evaluation at the end of the year. "The future of open house is dependent upon how well the students and residence govern ments make it work," he said. An Advisory Committee on Residence Life has been formed to extend di tfsfer doc and Cooper Undergraduate libraries have been changed to 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and I p.m. to midnight Sunday. The libraries also will be open Saturday nights during examination periods. The U.S. and U.N. Government Documents collection hai been moved to the undergraduate basement library, which will be the permanent home of the skeptical 1tudents students should this contingency not be realized," Marchant said. The Columbia attorney says Dr. Cathcart Smith , chairman of a special committee investigating need for a second medical school in South Carolina expressed reser vations about making the increase so precipitously. Smith questioned publicly what had happened between April and August to prompt this step. " I think," Marchant said, "The step was taken in an attempt to blunt the recent activity on the part of many South Carolinians to establish a second medical school in Columbia as an integral part of the University of South Carolina. "In the first place," Marchant continued, "every professional and objective study made to date has drawn two Important con cIusions -(m Support the Medical University in Charleston and make it a first class institution and, (2) when the need exists, establish a second medical school in Columbia needs "set up, a structure to'con ually review the regulations," F\idler said.

"This move is the first step toward the reality of the new central library which will be located at the site of the present Undergraduate Library," Kenneth E. Toombs, director of libraries, explained. Dr. Louis N. Gruber and Rabbi Mayer Gruber have donated 7,200 volumes of the late Rabbi Gruber's books to USC. Rabbi Gruber served as USC counselor to Jewish students from 1953 to 1968. The Rabbi David Gruber Collection, particularly strong in the fields of Judaica and com parative religion, is one of the largest ever received by a USC library.

Yet all express optimism. Dr. Tsau An Su of the College of Business Administration said this (the wage-price freeze) is a "market mechanism," explaining, "we use price as a mechanism to find out how much people demand." He added, "Once we freeze wage and price, if that part is continued, it will be difficult to realize how much a price is!" Su predicted no immediate in creases In pay after termination of the freeze, but increases will come gradually. If not, inflation would become a greater problem and we the nation) would be where we first started, he said. "The objective is to conserve inflation. It would be mior'e er'ious or just as serious if it all came back at once," explained Dr. Su. "What will happen after ninety days?i Anyone's guess..."

The post-freeze period, or the Administration's "game plan," nc-ording to Dr. Norton, "was not working too well" in the beginning of the year. Norton believes the freeze is the most significant of Nixon's proposals and say.s "too much emphasis is put on the in ternational aspects of the problem." He approves Nixon's action even if the proposals are not effective. Dr. C. G. Williams, another economics professor said the freeze "probably was a fairly big political victory for Nixon to pull off. He said the move is important because "Nixon was able to do what other presidents thought about but did not do. He did this without es using any physiological setbacks." Williams noted it should be quite interesting to see "what will happen because there are ways for manufacturers (those who disagree with the act) to get around this." Williams feels certain, as did Su, that there will be no immediate .eut, rather It will be a "phased-out
