April B, 19B1 USC r< center By Tom Coyne Staff Writer USC withdrew its proposal for an en vironmental health science center at Thursday's Commission on Higher Education meeting because the commission, has delayed action on the proposal for several months, according to USC Provost Frank Borkowski. Borkowski said action was delayed in January when the commission asked USC for an organizational chart showing how other colleges would work with the center. "We were requested in January to give an organizational chart," Borkowski said. "That was all we were asked for." in MARCH tne commission focused on South Carolina's desegregation plan, and in April the proposal wasn't on the agenda, Borkowski said. "They (the commission) made a request that we discuss the center with other institutions," Borkowski said. "Other institutions have had more than enough time to review the proposal." Borkowski said he did not know why the commission was delaying the action, but he said he did not feel it was related to the recent General Studies controversy. The proposal was tabled pending the organizational chart.

Commission Chairman James E. Bostic Jr. denied the commission had neglected the proposed center. He said the commission had not taken any action in its three previous meetings because two committees needed to discuss the proposal further. Borkowski said, "The center was to be the catalyst for various requests the College of Health receives from industries." BORKOWSKI said the center would provide services to industries by testing substances or the effect of noise. It would give visibility to the nature of the services of the university," he said.

The staff member said the proposal was not on this month's agenda because the revised proposal had not been submitted to the commission until Tuesday.
