After USC appealed to the two legislative education committees, the House panel voted to support the university. Because present law requires only one of the two panels to side with the aDDealine oartv. no .Senate action was needed. Several senators, including President Pro Tern L. Marion Gressette and Finance Chairman Rembert C. Dennis, have expressed their possible opposition to the bill when it reaches the Senate floor. "I'm not necessarily opposed to the bill," Dennis said. "I'm opposed to it as it is written now. An inconsistency arises to have to make a presentation to one committee and then the other if one committee decides one way and the other committee decides the other." L)i:\NIS SAID he plans to propose an amendment to the bill that would have the two committees meet in a joint session to hear appeals, and the majority would nake the decision.

"Sen Chapman's bill is going to run up against some pretty powerful opposition in the Senate, so I feel pretty ' om for table that it's not going to even make it to the flouse," Nunnery said. "IF IT DOES reach the House, I will fight as hard as I can to see that there is no change in the current appeals process," Nunnery said. Chapman said he favors a strong commission, with as much authority as they need to carry out duties. pects a jtone lil ind we'll be announcing fery soon another major gift >f film worth somewhere between $10 and 25 million," Molderman Rflid THE MOVIETONEWS collection, 100 million feet of film including classic footage of the Hindenburg explosion, is temporarily being stored in USC's rhomas Cooper Library until the university provides a permanent home for the collection.
