Free University has grown to 250 participants and Taylor said she hopes the addition of new courses will increase the number to 500 this spring.

What we do is develop creative ideas and then put these tions to hold od drive weekend on the blood drawn at Carolina for their needs of fresh blood," said Baucom. The Columbia Red Cross serves 37 hospitals in the 17 Midlands counties. These hospitals take no blood because of lack of testing equipment. Dan Laney, president of Chi Psi fraternity said "We decided to sponsor the bloodmobile because of me overriding importance of this project. Our goal is 120 units (pints) and I'm confident that the USC faculty and students will help us meet that goal." n'a Heal* I, 1 976 From :30 p.m. (couples only) jlor price, and get the r Half Price! r ?pp?tinrft. *nd Lobster tsilt not In ns Required red (no blue jeans) .m.799-6303 tudent or Faculty 8.D.

The new courses set for this vear deal with folk music, belly "dancing, make-up (street make-up), bowling, the American Indian, and indoor spring flowers. All courses are free or charge only for expenses.The instructors are volunteers. Free University derived its name from the absence of fees, but this is also one of the chief problems. With no fees with which to pay the teachers, Free University often loses out to the competition, such as Columbia Hall, which enlists many instructors that might otherwise teach for Free University.
