Senate will hear final debate today in connection with a bond bill that will assist in financing construction of dormitories at USC's Conway campus. The bond bill would be used to pay back a $2.5 million loan from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD, to the Conway campus for the dormitories.

The proposal to build dormitories at Coastal Carolina (USC at Conway), will be presented to the executive committee of the USC Board of Trustees on Aug. 1, and then it will be taken up by the full Board of Trustees on Aug. 9, Duffy said. The committee studied other branch campuses, but the construction of dormitories could only be justified at Coastal Carolina "because it (a dormitory) could be used on a year round basis," Duffy said. Other branch campuses studied were USC at Aiken and at Spartanburg. Edward M.
