Nuclear disarm
By Ann Farmer
Two government and international
studies professors argued the issue of
unilateral nuclear disarmament at
Wednesday night's meeting of the Athenian
Literary and Debating Society.
After short introductory remarks by
participants Peter Scderberg and James
Roherty, Scderberg began his speech in
favor of the resolution.
Sederberg said he believes the dangers
of nuclear war lie not in the bolt-out-ofthe-blue
attack, but in unintentional
nuclear war ? war initiated independently
of authorized decision makers or initiated
by those decision makers because
of misinformation.

four buildings and additions was paid by the
federal government and administered by the
Veterans Administration. The buildings are
leased to USC free, but the university is
responsible for operation and maintenance
expenses.
THE INCREASED space includes larger
laboratories that can accomodate about 100
students in contrast to the old facilities that
contained labs with a 48-student capacity,
Humphries said.
"The consolidation of the medical school
departments in one location has greatly imPAmmnni^QtiAnc

students and enhanced the overall educational
process," Humphries said.
Although the medical school is about four
miles from the main campus, Humphries
said it is still integrated into the university
system.
"Being part of a comprehensive university
is an asset to the School of Medicine that sets
it apart from many other institutions, giving
1iS?C medical students the onnnrtunitv to in
teract with scholars in other disciplines, including
the College of Engineering and the
College of Health," Humphries said.
The School of Medicine campus houses the
departments of anatomy, biochemistry,
microbiology and immunology, pathology,
pharmacology, physiology, preventive
medicine and community health, and
radiology as well as the administrative, admissions
and student affairs offices and the
School of Medicine Library.

ament discussed
sources of danger in the nuclear arms
race. First, the arms race only leads to in
creased vulnerability and may result in
"launch-on-warning" strike scenarios, he
said.
Second, growing suspicion of other
nuclear powers leads to worst-case
analyses, which in turn lead to arguments
to continue the arms race that result in
even more arms buildup, he said.
Third, increased global militarization
and the use of "force as a means of crises

Sedcrberg also said there were ethical,
political and strategic reasons for considering
unilateral initiatives.

The Organization for Mature Students
provides support and fellowship to mature
students along with coordinating social and
academic activites to assist them, according
to Rebecca Mills, staff member of the Adult
Learning Center.
"The problem these students face is the
pressure of time and feeling isolated. Most of
the students have families and jobs along
with being a part- or full-time student,"
Mills said.
THE ORGANIZATION meets once a
month with each meeting focusing on a certain
topic.
The first meeting of the semester was held
Tuesday with a supper preceeding it. The
president, Robert Cox, explained to new
members how the organization worked and
coordinated the social events.

From Staff Reports
Two Columbia women have just made a
step toward realizing their dream of a college
education as the first two recipients of the
South Carolina Mature Students Program
Scholarship at USC.
Ernestine Grant and Pat Durgin received
$250 this fall, donated by Belk of Columbia
and matched by the USC Educational Foundation,
to apply toward their freshman year
expenses. Grant, a 34-year-old-mother of
two, works full-time as the top-ranked statt
assistant for the state Joint Appropriations
Review Committee.
She said attending college has always been
her dream. "I have to set challenges and
goals for myself. It doesn't matter how long
it takes me, 1 just want to climb higher."

before she began working for the state nine
years ago, said she plans to seek a degree in

Dorothy Fidler, coordinator of the
organization, discussed the different programs
on campus available to mature
students, such as the Counseling and Human
Development Centers and the Babysitting
The organization has three subcommittees;
social, academic and personal development.
Each student participates in planning activities
within their committee, Mills said.
IN OCTOBER the meeting will focus on
academic skills, with Ron Huggins,Academic
Skills Center, presenting the workshop.
November's meeting will be "Self Hypnosis

the Counseling and Human Development
Center.

state government.
"We need state government. By remaining
in government after 1 seek my degree, 1 feel 1
can really make a contribution to South
Carolina."
Financial improvement is another reason
for Grant's return to school. "As the single
parent of two children, 1 feel a tremendous
responsibility to expand my future financial
prospects. When I consider that my youngest
child will be ready for college in four years, 1
plan to be in a better possition to negotiate
salary. With my present level of education, 1
don't think 1 can go much higher. 1 am
blocked in."
Widowed in 1976, she said she feels family

to continue pursuit of an enriching life. She
said this family unity will help her combine
roles of housekeeper, career woman, mother
and student.
