Energy pla
By MICKEY TRIMARCHI
Editor-in-Chief
An energy conservation plan that would
extend Christmas recess to six weeks was
approved Tuesday by a student university
committee.
THE PROPOSAL, approved by the
Student Leaders Committee, is subject to
approval by the Faculty Senate and final
approval by USC President William H.
Patterson.
Although the Faculty Senate met
yesterday, no final decision was reached.
In a Feb. 24 memorandum from Provost
Keith E. Davis to all university deans
outlining the 1977-1978 University calender
changes, Davis said, "Our objectives have
been to maintain at least 70 class days, to
minimize probable energy use, to develop a
schedule that has minimum interference
with the non-teaching functions of the
university and to take into consideration
student needs for employment in the

The proposal recommended a fall
semester of 71 days from Aug. 25 to Dec. 16
and a spring semester of 71 days from Jan.
19 to May 13. Labor Day would be a holiday

the fall semester forward of week in August
and shorten the spring vacation to an extended

The calender provides that seniors take
exams at the regulary scheduled time and
allows for the majority of senior course
exams to be completed prior to the due date

A finalized commencement schedule was
incomplete last week.
ALTHOUGH THE proposed calender

the student committee voted to reinstate
both days before the plan was brought.
before the Faculty Senat.
Wesson said this would not affect the 70class-day
minimum requirement.
"I was concerned about the removal of the
Reading Day," Student Government Vice
President Gerald Mosley said. "I think it is
a day a lot of students take advantage of for
reading."

used specifically for studying and not for
final examinations administered early by
professors.
"WE'D FEEL a lot better if students would
join in enforcing that day for reading and to
make sure the professor doesn't move an
exam to Reading Day," Wesson said,
The Carolina Community academics code
states "No tests may be given during the
last two class meetings prior to the regulary
scheduled exam period of any semester."
This also included Reading Day.
Wesson said the restructuring of spring
recess was crucial in designing the new
calendar.
By having spring break coincide with
Easter Sunday, Wesson said that it will
satisfy most of the vacation needs of
students at the university.
MANY STUDENTS are away for Good
Friday and Easter Monday," Wesson said.
"By making this a long weekend, we hope to
compensate in some way to put in the days
most wanted by people at the university."
The Faculty Senate recommended that
more consideration be given to the
restructuring of the proposed Easter

weekend, possibly scheduling it for Hiursday,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This
would not penalize those classes meeting on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday by losing
two days.
Another plan called for spring break to
remain as on week vacation but Wesson said
the only other alternative then would be to
extend the spring semester to May 20, thus
hampering summer employment for many
students.
"Students are geared to working in midMay
and graduates would like to tell their
employers when they will begin work on a
permanent basis," Wesson said.
Vice President of Student Affairs James
B. Campbell said a provision will be made so
that Veterans will be able to recieve benefits
during the extended Christmas break. He
said arrangements will also be made for
international students and those students
whose home are a lone distance from tho
university.
"I think the energy situation will push
other sschools in South Carolina into extending
their school year,"Wesson said.
"Even though it will pressure us, we will
have to get used to doing things in a different
way from now on."
