Faculty Sei grievance By Teresa Weaver Gnmecock Staff Writer The Faculty Senate again voted to postpone action on a proposed university grievance procedure at a Dec. 12 meeting. Following the report of Perry Ashley, chairman of the Faculty Advisory Committee, the senate decided to delay consideration of the proposal until the February meeting. The Faculty Advisory Committee has been working on the proposed grievance procedure since June 1979. Morris Blachman, Government and International Studies professor, voiced a motion early in the meeting to suspend the rules of procedure so the senate could create a committee to draw up a new grievance procedure in consultation with the Faculty Advisory Committee. THE MOTION to suspend rules was approved by a majority of the senate membership, and Blachman moved that a committee be composed of eight faculty senators, at least two of whom must be non-tenured. The committee, elected by the senate, will report back at the February meeting. Eldon Wedlock, law professor, WW rieavy survivor j slims down HENDERSON VILLE, N.C. (AP) ? Benny McCrary is slimming down a little these days, but he's still having a hard time adapting to life without the other half of what was once the world's 1 4 i...I lai gesi iwius. Benny, who is down to 650 pounds now, traveled the country for "Ripley's Believe It or Not," with his brother Billy. "It's been tough, very tough to adjust," Benny said, reflecting in an interview by his brother's grave recently. "We were inseparable. We did everything together. Never were we more than 200 miles from each other." Their years of billing as the | world's largest twins ended on July 14, when Billy died as a result of complications following a motorcycle accident near NiflOara Pallc To honor his brother, Benny, 33, has erected a mammoth-sized monument at Crab Creek Cemetery near their home at Hendersonville. The granite marker weighs more than 12,000 pounds and contains two wings, one for Billy and one for Benny. On each wing is a carved sketch of a motorcycle, noting that the twins were famous for riding miniature motorcycles as part of their act. Each motorcycle bears one of the twins' names and his weight. "I sure think Billy would have done the same for me," Benny said. "I'm real pleased with the monument. I know it's big and cost a lot of money, but I hope that it represents a proper tribute to my brother. "Doing things in a big way has always been a part of our lifestyle." When they were together, Benny was the smaller twin at 727 pounds while Billy weighed 747 pounds. Benny reached a career high of 814 pounds, but has shed more than 160 nnnnHs on n 0. ftOO-rnlorip-a-rinv diet imposed by his wife Tammy.

Citing USC President James B. Holderman's comments at the last general faculty meeting that issues of grievance and tenure are "inextricably linked," Wedlock said, "You can t think about one without thinking about the other. Most grievances arise out of tenure and promotion." After a short discussion, Wedlock's amendment was defeated by a voice vote. . Ashley opposed the committee proposed by Blachman. He said the Faculty Advisory Committee would welcome any additional faculty input, but added that a properly constituted committee should be responsible for reporting back to the senate with recommendations.
