Bob Jone on liquor The public isn't being given a chance on the liquor issue, according to Bob Jones lii, president of Bob Jones University in Greenville. Jones, speaking to Wed nesday's meeting of Omicron Delta Kappa honor society, said those who favor complete prohibition of liquor will be forced to vote for liquor in some form in Novem ber.Voting "no" on the minibottle means voting yes on brownbagging, he said. Though he declined to be specific for fear in Inhibiting the movement, Jones said, "There is a healthy and vigorous attempt to keep this thing from getting on the ballot in November." Jones favors complete prohibition of liquor. "What was so dark about Prohibition?" he asked. I'm not sure that those days were so dark as many people tried to make them. It certainly cut down on the use of alcohol." Jones cited Biblical verses admonishing drunkness as his reason for complete opposition to drinking. "We want people to know where we stand and what we believe. We don't apologize for believing the Bible as the infallible word of God." He said he could see no benefits from the use of alcohol and as a preacher he had en tered many homes and "I don't know many family problems that are not caused or In some shows oft' ft itfft, tercn o Io Thing t-hampee. Thas tiedmfor first with Mark McEwan. iS talks issue way related to the use of alcohol. Jones read statistics showing a high correlation between drinking and high crime and accident rates chided the government for not taking a more active part in the control of alcohol. ''If it is recognized as being harmful, why isn't there more legislation governing the use of liquor in this country? I'm for individual freedom; I'm not for repressive laws, but you can't have a decent society if everyone is doing what's right in his own eyes.'' He said- that the millions of dollars spent annually "to repair the damage alcohol has done " discounts the idea that the tax revenue obtained from the sale of minibottles could benefit the state. "It will have to be controlled by bartenders, people who make their living from the sale of alcohol. There won't be any controls." Conventioi viewed by JIM CHAFFIN Staff Writer Wesley A. Pomeroy, chairman of the Security Committee for the 1072 Democratic Convention in Miami Beach, said in a speech here Wednesday that he does not expect trouble in Miami. "The major turbulence will be on the floor," he said. "Our big problem will be maintaining the integrity of our identity system." Nearly 10,000 delegates, newsmen and others will have to be issued special passes in order to enter the convention area. Pomeroy handled security for the Republican Convention in 1964 and for both conventions in 1968. He pointed up a major difference in security procedures between 1964 and 1972; "In 1964 if we got a bomb threat we could safely assume that it was just that, a bomb threat." Even though such threats must now be taken seriously they will R ENT-TV's C Color or B &W Avail with Sti Disce WITH PURCHMASE OPTIN Gener (Continued from Page 1) require an Advisory Council of faculty members from all un dergraduate colleges and four students. The previous Curriculum and New Courses Committee proposals provided for no Advisory Council. "To assure the legitimacy and integrity of the program of the new baccalaureate degree," the ap proved proposal requires an Ad visory Council of five members elected by the Faculty Senate, four members appointed by the President of the University and an ex officio member from the College of General Studies. Two students will be added to the Council within two years of the program's initiation. Although there will be no specified curriculum, the proposal states that "where necessary the Advisory Council will establish curricula guidelines." Curriculum and New Courses Committee Chairman Charles Weasmer stressed that these would be reccommendations "not in terms of what might happen, but in terms of what is happening" at the time they are made. Students enrolling in the program will have to meet the main campus's minimum entrance requirements. 1 security Pomeroy not be allowed to disrupt the con vention. Security efforts will be aimed at keeping bombs from entering the area, and, in the event of a threat, the convention will not be recessed. Pomeroy is already holding meetings with dissident groups who plan to demonstrate in Miami. He met Tuesday with Rennie Davis, a leader of groups demonstrating at the 1968 Democratic Convention. They help organize the demonstrations so that there will be a recognizable leadership with which to deal. Although Pomeroy has extensive experience in law enforcement, his present efforts are aimed at what he calls "order maintenance". "You can't control activities of large numbers of people in ways they don't want to be controlled unless you are willing to use for ce," he said. "We try to make it easier for them to obey the rules than to break them." r STEREO's IETIO LEASE Also ~ able ~ ident unt 2738 Devine St. Columbia S.C.

The third member of the student's committee will be an administrative staff member from the College of General Studies. No faculty member shall serve on more than five students' committees. Most of the debate concerned a suggestion made by Charles Sullivan of the law school which would have "gutted" the proposal. He proposed that the Senate vote to amend the proposal, striking the first sentence which read, "that a new baccalaureate degree program be created to be ad ministered by the College of General Studies: The Bachelor of General Studies." Weasmer said under the program, credits from technical institutions and regional campuses could be transferred with the approval of the General Studies dean. He said unless a program such as the bachelor's degree is ad ministered that pressure would be put on the University from the "Commission on Higher Education Body p The Body 'painting contest% the Golden Spur.

Issue was taken over whether credits from these institutions should be accepted by USC for any kind of bachelor's degree. "We fear a great erosion from those seeking a 'Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science," one senator said. "It makes no difference to a businessman whether he hires a Bachelor of Arts or Science or a Bachelor of General Studies, but it makes a big difference to us." A little later on the same topic Weasmer said when talking about technical students, it is not a matter of "the great unwashed, illiterate masses. There is no in dication that they are in tellectually or mentally deficient," he said. He also said he anticipated only a small number of students would want or need for the program. "But why do we have to call it a bachelor's degree?" Barry Preedom of physics and astronomy asked. "Why can't it be an advanced associate degree or a friends of the Gamecock Degree or something else?" The vote to amend the proposal out of existence was defeated by a ratio of 2-1. The proposal was then passed with little further debate. ainting vill be held today at 3 p.m. in t and flourescent paint is -ing the contest, fill out the :m 205 in the Russell House. i.L LIKE IT 'PS NIH ALLOWANCE RTING SALARY ACTION ANAGEMENT PORTUNIIES THROUGH ITS ROTC PROGRAM ...
