Ford provi By MICKEY TRIMARCHI Gamecock Staff Writer For the several hundred students in attendance, it was a most unique classroom experience. rrH _ * ? ine siuaents learned from an expert about the relationship between the President and the Congress. The highly qualified lecturer, with more than 25 years of experience in various areas of governmental affairs, was Gerald R. Ford. "We searched about the country to find someone who could speak from a broad base of knowledge on the presidency and the Congress. We didn't have to look any farther than Rancho Mirage and the 38th president of the United States," said USC president James B. Holderman in his introduction of Ford to the audience Friday afternoon at the Law School nuuiiui iUill.

"The War Powers resolution was really an outgrowth of the atmosphere in the nation's capital, the unhappiness in the Congress, because of what many in the Congress perceived to be an encroachment by the presidency on the prerogative of the Congress in the operations and implementations of our efforts in Vietnam," Ford said. FORD, WHO was Minority Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives when the resolution was voted on, opposed legislation and later voted to sustain the veto from the White House.

Though Congress passed the resolution, Ford said he believes that Congress is now acting unconstitutional >by interfering with the prerogatives of the chief executive in executing and implementing U.S. foreign policy. However, Congress has the constitutional right to declare war and to raise and support the military.

"Or the Congress can, if it so desires, approve by appropriate action, the president's committment of military forces." The Congress however must act within 6ft Havs on militarv legislation. "BUT THE PROVISION that I object to and did when the debate was on the floor of the House," Ford said, "is if in that 60-day span, the Congress takes no action, doesn't move either pro or con, the president is required to withdraw the forces. Now that is a very strong position for the Congress to take." Tunes 1 March 2 \A/R_ \A/rm ^ r C*r\ m rr IT Y U Y VUIIII^I >wWI II I I Village People- Mc .

"So in my opinion," Ford added, "the manner in which the Congress seeks to encroach on the president's prerogatives in this case is unconstitutional." After speaking for almost 30 minutes, Ford answered students' questions on a variety of topics ranging from the current coal strike and the recent signing of a neutrality treaty with Panama, to the sale of military supplies to Israel and the problems of the Social Security system. ?Things | 0-22 only | lunications $4.79 I ichoMan $4.79 J w $4.79 I jction $4.79 J $4.79 I1 Things j ness but a way of life" | 799-4412 j w|l _T.; ;; } it big sound, price! m um>m a**.
