* Medico Codtiored From Page 1 But Adams Smith theory seems contradictory. If doctors stay where they do their residency and USC students will be doing their residency in Columbia, what is to keep them from set tling in Columbia? And if a girl leaves a rural area or small town to come to USC, is one to at tomatically assume that she will want to return to that small hometown after graduation? The South Carolina General Assembly approved funds for the medical school in the Annual Appropriations Bill. They allotted $391,000 for operating costs for the first year. The grant from the Veterans Ad ministration (VA) is for $5.8 million for the renovation of the p resent VA Hospital with another $20 million for the cost of operating the school over a seven-year period. The VA is building a new hospital next to their present facility so that the old hospital * Perforr Continued From Page I In an interview with "The Garnet and Black.'

"Yuu don't have to have new buildings every time you take on a new project," Adams Smith said. "I hope we will not waste any money. I am a great believer in utilizing present assests. People always think you have to always do something new and glamorous." Adams Smith said. "I have had a lot of say already in the renovation plans." Vice President of Operations at USC Harold Brunton. said it would be "premature" to say when actual work on the hospital will begin. He said, "The first step is for Dr. Adams Smith and the VA to decide what has to be done and then we'll go from there." USC will operate four clinical teaching facilities including the adjacent new VA Hospital. The other three hospitals are Mon crief Army Hospital at Fort Jackson. Richland Memorial Hospital and the William S. Hall Psychiatric Institute. "The guidelines from the federal government are very ing Arts Cei money we have.' Reeves said. The committee is studying other similar physical plants to decide what course to take. But. although architects have been chosen . no construction bids have been taken. Reeves indicated. The Performing Arts Center will include an auditorium seating a maximum of 2,600 people. It will have a music rehearsal hall and offices. Reeves was quick to point out that all plans at this point are tentative. Long distance plans are being made to either renovate Mc Master College, music or else move it to the Performing Arts Center within the next ten years.

"They will pay all the equipment costs, all the supply costs, and a proportion of all the salaries. Ninety per cent for the first three years. then decreasing to 80-70 per cent, and 60-50 per cent for the other four years of the initial seven years of operation." Each year, after the first seven years, the state will take over the operating expenses of the academic budget. But because of the teaching facilities which will be available to USC through the four hospitals. Adams Smith said 50 per cent of the cost never has to be born by the state. He ex plained this by saying that the VA and Moncrief are federally budgeted. "Richland Memorial Hospital is county affiliated and has to operate anyway, and the Hall Psychiatric Institute is already a funded and on-going thing with accredited intern and residency programs anyway." But as the University proceeds with its plans, there is opposition to the medical school from South Carolina's two gubernatorial candidates.

"Perhaps they will eventually move closer to the new center, but that is in the distant future," Reeves said. He said he expects the Performing Arts Center to be completed in three years. 'This is going to be a state center. not just a University function," Reeves said. The auditorium can be used by off cam pus people and Reeves said it will be advantageous to the campus and community. "We hope that it will be the finest center of its kind in th southeast," he said.

Thirdly. Patterson saii :: these difficult times of finan, iat pressures many people have moved to save a dollar where - ever they can. I believe that the University should do the same. "Just because we are large and consequently expensive, we do not intend to be wasteful." After speaking of the projected frugality on the part of the University, Patterson went on to say that he'd continue to support football and athletic programs. "I am aware that 16 per cent of our freshmen say that they come to Carolina because of their interest in and identification with our athletic program. Now that-s a very important segment of a very important clientele, so you may be sure that I will- be cheering with the rest of us and be Just as anxious to go to that famous bowl game as you are."
