The board of trustees accepted a invitation for USC to join the
Metropolitan Athletic Collegiat Conference at its meeting
yesterday.
The Intercollegiate Activities Committee voted unanimously
Tuesday to recommend acceptance of the invitation to the board.
According to USC Athletic Director Bob Marcum, representatives
from the seven Metro conference <tchnnk vnt#?H
unanimously by telephone Monday to invite USC to join.
USC PRESIDENT James Holderman said, "The administra
iiv/n 13 wuiciuciy ciiuiusiasiic aooui me move to tne Metre
confcrence."
The Metro conference is composed of Louisville, Memphis
State, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Southern Mississippi, Cincinnati
and Tnlanp
USC will be eligible for the conference championship in men'j
basketball, baseball, tennis and track, and in women's basketball,
tennis and volleyball. The Metro does not conduct a footbal
championship.
In other board action, Holderman reDorted that students wil
not know how much tuition and fees will increase until th(
Legislature acts on the budget. He said there has been a delay with
the Ways and Means Committee getting the issue to the floor ol
the House of Representatives.
IT WAS reported by the Gamecock Wednesday that Holder
man said the increase would be between $200 and $500 per yeai
for in-state students and double that for those out-of-state.
Holderman said that since the budget process is behind las
year's, USC students will have to wait to find out about tuitior
increases.
The board approved the state Commission on Higher Educa
tion's proposal for a joint advisory board to oversee the state':
two medical schools.
The board would consist of two members from the Medica
University of South Carolina, two members from the University
of South Carolina Medical School, two members from the Com
mission on Higher Education and one person appointed by Gov
Dick Riley. The board will regulate enrollment and budgets fo
both schools.
HOLDERMAN SAID the move is "an appropriate step at thi
time." and the administration is whnlehearterilv hehinH thp mnvc
He added that any recommendation to damage USC's schoo
would be "tragic."

Japan exper
By Forrest Brown
Being a missionary in a country where
less than 1 percent of the people are
Christians has its disappointments, but
Father Stephen Lynch of the USC
Catholic Student Center said his missionary
tour in Japan was a "wonderful
experience.
"Naturally, you'd "be happier if
everybody converted to Christianity, so
in that sense it was a disappointment,"
Lynch said of his 20-year tour. "But the
Japanese experience, as such, I found to
be a wonderful experience."
Lynch said about 350,000 Roman
Catholics were in Japan when he arrived
in 1957. When he left in 1977, that
number had increased by 40,000.
"QUANTITATIVELY, IF you
evaluate that way, the percentage didn't

"We have many Japanese that convert
to Christianity. They really have an
uphill struggle to convince their Buddhist
and Shintoist families and neighbors that
Christianity is different. They do model
tne ^nristian experience rainer wen. we
have had outstanding young converts to
the Roman Catholic Church and other
Christian denominations that have been
marvelous examples."

So I had to get ready. That was in June
of 1957, and in August, I was there,"
Lynch said.
Being so new to Japan, Lynch did not
immediately go out into the field. In
stead, he took a three-year erash course
on Japanese language, culture and
history. Lynch found writing Japanese
very difficult, but speaking it was not as
narcl to master.
"You really don't have to speak it like
a native to communicate," he said.

Christian ideas are too abstract and
foreign for them.
"IF YOU can strip away the cultural
artifacts around, get down to the essence
of it all, it really deals with relationships,"
he said.
"It's really the relationship with God,
and the relationship with people," he
said. "And if those relationships are in a

"CHRISTIANITY HAS added a
qualitatively new experience to the
Japanese experience, especially in terms
of human freedom and rights."
Human rights have improved substantially
in Japan since World War II,
Lynch said. Before the war, a woman
had no more rights than any other piece
of her husband's property.
Lynch pointed out some of the differences
between Christianity and
classical Japanese religions.
"The Buddhists and Shintoists don't
have a concept of God where everything
is precious," he said. "Individuals arc
expendible. The group is the essential
value."
