The need for small classes is the primary ; i casun inc siaie snouia nave two institutions, Dr. O'Neal Humphries told the Columbia Kiwanis Club during a luncheon address. "Medical education is an individual thing and cannot be done in large groups," Humphries said. "The best range for a class is ^ about 100, give or take 20. More could cause a distinct loss in quality of education." HUMPHRIES' ADDRESS came less than a week after the presidents of the two medical schools came to a private settlement with Gov. Dick Riley, averting a veto threat worth $5 million.

USC asked June 15 that Bell's lawsuit against the university be dismissed because the school is an "alter ego" of the state that can't be sued without giving permission. A federal judge had refused to dismiss for similar reasons a suit filed by former head football coach and athletic director Jim Carlen ? and June 10, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., dccided it would not iiv.ai ujv 3 aj^jjcai ui mai ucvisiuu.

He's not a professor in the true definition, yet he considers himself a teacher and is proud of his role in molding self-assured leaders out of unconfident freshman. Currently director of the Russell House University Union, Dennis Pruitt will give up his post to Russell House business manager Larry Zuleba July 1 to become acting dean of student affairs. PRUITT WILL replace Marsha Duncan, who resigned as dean of student affairs to become vice president of student affairs at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He will hold the position until USC completes its nationwide search to select the department's next dean, but Pruitt said he is not nil ing out the possibility of applying for the job himself. "Carolina has a good reputation; this is a good place to live, and USC has an excellent reputation as a staff. I'll wait and see what the fit is - how it works out - to see if I'll apply (for dean of student affairs).
