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."
THE TIME lost during
Moses's death was not
critical and work on the

USC hosted the Seventh Annual U.S.European
Journalists Conference, the first
conference of the series held on a university
campus, May 19-22.
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.

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.

"(West German Chancellor Helmut)
Schmidt is tired of teaching U.S.
presidents!" Steger said.
Keynote speaker Charles Z. Wick,
director of the U.S International Communications
Agency, said, "Our nation's
fate is directly linked to that of our sister
democracies >n Western Europe."
HE SAID he compliments President
Reagan for his belief in strong defense. "A
strong Atlantic alliance is the best
guarantor of peace and protector of the
values we share and cherish."
"It is up to us on both sides of the Atlantic

understand our common ethical and intellectual
traditions, and that they are
prepared to defend them," Wick said
Journalists representing France, Italy,
England, the Netherlands. West Germany,
Ireland, Greece, Denmark and the U.S.
attended the conference.

mittee approved a list of top priority
Droiects worth ahnnt million
Each of the nine campuses in the USC
system prepared its own studies, recommending
priority projects, in consultation
with the main campus
KIN'KEH SAII) some items in the plan had
been approved by the board of trustees but
not by other state agencies, due to the
current freeze on state buildings projects.
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.
