Officials at Clemson University and USC
are looking into the possibility of forming a
state university press. USC has press
facilities. Clemson does not.
Clemson hires commercial printers for its
printing jobs. Professors who wish to
publish manuscripts must submit them to
university presses throughout the
Southeast.
USC. Provost Frank Borkowski said,
* ' 'This project would enable both universities
to broaden their bases. Nothing definite is
set yet, but we are taking a serious look at
the possibility of joining in a state press."
USC PRESIDENT James Holderman said
he would not rule out the possibility of other
state universities joining in later, but at this

"All I can really tell you is that it's
moving along at a rapid rate," he said.
Robert King, director of USC's University
Press is advising both universities on the
matter. "We're an awfully far way apart,
but both institutions are working hard to get
the project under way.
"We are a little past the stage of looking at
the feasibility of such a project," he said.
"Two members of the Clemson faculty are
already on the press committee. Right now
we are just trying to work out some of the
many difficulties that we could run into, like
where is the funding going to come from and
where the money is going to go."
The universities haven't decided how the
joint press would operate. It is likely that
the USC facilities would be improved and
used for the state press.
Jerome Reel, Clemson assistant provost,
said the merger would help USC because it
would make a good press even better.
