Will R and D sell it or hold it hoping USC will use it in the future? "It's still up in the air right now," said Douglas Fitzgerald, assistant vice president of auxiliary services. This is another matter the Board of Trustees will confront in the fall. Property acquisition is never as easy as playing Monopoly, par ticilarly if you are a University with an inner-city campus like USC. Although the University has acquired large land areas from the state and from R and D, there have been times when these areas could not be entirely incorporated in the campus boundaries because private landowners decided to holdout for a better offer. When this happens the University has the property appraised. Usually the land owner will accept this figure. * Education From Page 2 cheaper than two, I guess the answer is yes-whether you could do it and do what the public wants is another matter." Bortolazzo's plan of consolidation, said Davis, "was a proposition to move in a direction that there was too much local opposition to." He added that public desires for more com prehensive regional campuses and better technical education were fulfilled in part by several state legislators working from popular appeal. Apparently then, the people of South Carolina are satisfied with their regional-TEC systems. If the old adage holds true that "One gets what one pays for," then South Carolina has two fine post secondary systems-but we will indeed have to pay for them.

The reasons for the land owner's decision to sell his property at the price the University offered are dubious. Was he content with the settlement or did he fear a court battle? USC, like other state affiliated institutions, has the power of eminent domain. This gives the University the right to condemn private property in the interest of public use. Actions of this kind can only be settled in court. "Some people give their property an in flated value. When we can't agree on a price, the power to condemn is used as a final resort," Fitzgerald said. Although Fitzgerald maintains the University tries to avoid using the eminent domain clause, because "it certainly doesn't help * Drug Exper From Page 1 with the least, with 7.7 per cent continuing students reporting use while 6.5 per cent of the entering freshman class reported trying the drugs. According to Fidler, the "intense academic oressures" are probably responsible for the heavy ex perimental use of amphetamines. The study also showed that many continuing students quit smoking while entering freshmen increased their tobacco intake. In 1972, 54 per cent of continuing students smoked, while in 1974 their tobacco consumption fell to 51 per cent. Entering freshmen use junped5per cent from 46 per cent in 1972 to 51 per cent in 1974. The confidential survey was begun in 1970 as drug use became nationally prominent, Fidler said. Since then, the select committee has conducted four surveys of D & CAAN DJAMESCAAN IY LADY iARIF-A VS Uncertain community relations," USC has not hesitated to condemn property when it is an obstacle to further expansion. Land was acquired by this means in the early 60's for the South Tower dorm. Five years of court battle yielded a site for the Roost. The widening of Pickens Street was -made possible through a condemnation action. Property was secured for the new Educational Television center in this fashion. Fitzgerald said that presently, "the lawyers are still fighting it out" over the property at 1611 and 1615 College St. This is the only land on the block not owned by the University. Most sources have indicated that further expansion of boundaries will be minimal in the near future. But at this time, this is only reasonable conjecture. Ultimately the Board of Trustees will decide the concrete plan of development. imentation Up entering and continuing students. Entering freshmen fill out the questionnaire at summer orien tation. And continuing students fill out the forms during class time. For the' 1974 study, students enrolled in either 100 or 300 level courses which met at 10:10 on Wednesday during the second or third week in April were asked to participate Fidler said. In the 1974 survey, 1,619 con tinuing students and 1,353 entering freshmen participated. Natatorium Rules To Be Studied BY DAVID HENZE of The Gamecock staff Operation policies for the University natatorium will be studied by a committee recently appointed by the Administrative Advisory Council. Several rules regarding the use of the new facility have recently been attacked by the Gamecock. A mixture of letters on the matter both supporting the new rules and opposing them have been printed. Such rules include provisions banning extremely high or low cut swimsuits and certain other swim wear. "The mixed reactions published in the last two issues of the Gamecock have personified some of the questions and reactions to the rules and it is in order that they be reviewed by an outside com mittee," Harold Brunton, vice president of operations, said. Members of the committee to study the rules are Brunton, V. p of Student Affairs James Camp bell, Dr. Edward Mercer of the Chemistry department, Dr. George Geckle of the English department and two students yet to be appointed. "I believe there is some need for more reasbnable approaches that would encourage maximal recreational usage of the facility." Campbell said. He expressed confidence that the committee can come up with an improved set of rules that will satisfy most people. The original rules for the pool were studied and prepared by representatives of the College of Physical Education and Health. the Student Affairs Office, the Athletic Department and the Office of Operations. "Students were invited to participate but did not do so, ''Brumnn said.
