Stadiumi loses life From Staff Reports A 49-year-old construction worker died after falling 93 feet from his perch at the Williams brice Stadium construction site's south end two weeks ago. Josh Moses of Sumter, a carpenter with Pinnix Construction Co., died of head injuries resulting from his fall from a scaffold Wednesday morning, May 26, according to Richland Count v ? %/ Coroner Frank Barron III. Moses's death was the second in 11 years during stadium construction projects. In a 1971 stadium expansion project, a 25year-old man died after falling 40 feet to his death after his support rope snapped. MOSES'S DEATH was ruiea accidental by the Richland County Sheriff's department, and work at the south end was shut down that day. "It's not a job that's free from accidents ... it shakes people up," said George Mitchell, projects manager for USC Project Development. "That's one reason they shut down ? to give people time to relax and get over it." Mitchell, who has been involved with construction work for 20 years, said construction-related deaths are "fairly common."

Centering on U.S.-European relations, the ^ _ 11 1 ? ? cvinei truce allowed Z4 American and European journalists and several internationally-known foreign policy and economic experts to discuss world relations in nine group sessions. U.S.-West German relations were a special topic of interest, since the Versailles Summit on that subject begins soon. WKST GERMAN Parliament member ur. uiricn Steger said he has "a bleak outlook for the summit." The economy is a threat to U.S.-European alliance, he said. Harvard economics professor Dr. Richard N. Cooper said he is not discouraged over the usefulness of the summit because it provides an important opportunity for world leaders to get together, and that President Reagan could learn much from the meeting. udiii|ju5t:s limy y By Forrest Brown USC's board of trustees will consider project recommendations for nearly $35 million in capital projects at tomorrow's meeting. The board's Building and Grounds Committee approved nearly $35 million for capital projects for fiscal years 1984 and 1985 in a May 14 meeting. The full board will consider the committee's DroDosal tomorrow. Chances are slim that all projects approved by the Building and Grounds Committee will make it through the complex state bond approval system, according to David Rinker, senior vice-president for facilities planning. OF THE $35 million recommended by the committee for capital projects, $25 million are slated to be used in fiscal 1984 and the other $10 million are appropriated for fiscal 1985.

Before the projects receive final approval, they may be altered by several state agencies. After recommendation by the Building and Grounds Committee, projects are sent to the board. If approved they are sent to the Com mission on Higher Education, which reviews them and sends representatives to the campuses to study further each system's needs. """"?
