The blue ribbon steering committee appointed by Riley said duplication of programs does not exist because USC, Clemson and S.C. State do not have similar missions. The plan stated, "The functions of USC and Clemson encompass prescribed areas of graduate and professional study. The mission of S.C. State is that of senior college with graduate programs through the master's level. To meet the problems of racial inequalities in governing boards of state institutions, Harry Chapman, chairman of the Senate Education committee, introduced a bill which would desegragate the governing boards. The Chapman bill called for a unification in which state boards choose their board of trustees. Each institution would be made up of 15 members, excluding ex officio members. Under the Chapman plan, the General Assembly would elect two members from each state congressional district, 1 J 11 1 A t *At ctnu uie guvei nui wuuiu appuim mree memuers at large wun Senate approval.

Markley Dennis, chairman of USC's Board of Trustees, said, "We supported the position taken by the committee when acting on the compliance. We approved the compliance action but did not include an endorsement of the Chapman bill." Dennis said the plan was not needed to get black representation on the board and that there would soon be a black on the board. The current system used by USC has yet to produce a black board member and to have one black on the board would still not equal the proportion of blacks attending USC. It has been less that two years since the first woman, Lily Roland-Hall, was named to the board and she has yet to establish herself as a prominent member Oi the board. Chapman said he feels selection of trusf'-e members by congressional districts would better represent the state's population on each board and also eliminate the alumni provision. Chapman's plan does not rule out alumni as ex officio members or as voting members. Being a former graduate of the school should be taken into consideration by the General Assembly when selecting trustee members but all boards would benefit when the best qualified people are chosen for the position.
