Highlighting c Speaker: By David Hill Qrv?a Irorc nAMmAniAf wpvunvu iiiv uvuivauuu vvi vinuniLO iv/i the USC medical school's new campus praised the school for its academic programs and service to the state. Lt. Gov. Mike Daniel, speaking at a Friday afternoon ceremony on the campus's front lawn, called the opening a "very special occasion in the historv r>f the nniversitv anrl in the life of South Carolina." The new facilities are located in four renovated and two new buildings at the Dorn Veterans Administration Hospital on Garners Ferry Road. THE $18 million project was financed with a grant from the Veterans Administration. The buildings are leased to USC free. The approximately 225,000-square-feet facility includes classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, the medical library, offices, computer facilities, a medical bookstore and medical illustration and photography facilities. Nine school of medicine departments are housed at the new campus, six have offices there and at Columbia area-hospitals, and two departments are housed fully at Richland Memorial Hospital. Daniel said the medical school is "an excellent example of the kind of federal and state partnership that is needed to address the needs of South Carolinians." DANIEL COMMENDED USC officials."In South Carolina, we have struggled for a decade to build a sound medical education institution here at the university, and I am proud of this commitment and the the extraordinary effort you have made to provide and maintain an excellent academic program." nAIIAVHniAnl1 o U UUVGI IIIHCIIi dll By David Hill Budget priorities are misplaced in governm money should be spent on medical care, reseai tion, Sen.

"This school was built to teach and to gl| serve. It's needed now more than ever, and it 11 ; will be needed in the future," Daniel said. "I firmly believe that a sound medical care ME g system is the greatest social program South 11 gj Carolina can have." 1 MARTHA PHILLIPS, a VA official who M ^ administered the grant, said the program has worked well in brineine together VA hospitals and medical schools, and in "turn- H: ing an old soldiers' home into modern hospitals." ^ a Dr. O'Neal Humphries, acting dean of the I -n medical school, called the facilities "one of ? the best medical campuses in the nation or for that matter, in the world." 1 He said the school recently held the International Society of Cardiovascular Research, where 185 famous scientists exchanged recent i research information. | He spoke about outreach programs the S school has established. These include alcohol H and drug abuse and genetic counseling pro- BV grams, a program to treat depressed children, and a residency training program on preventing illnesses. HUMPHRIES MENTIONED the medical school's pos;t'on in the university. "As the university moves to excellence in higher education with the emphasis on I graduate training at the Columbia campus, it is inconceivable that the full promise of a graduate institution could be accomplished without a productive, excellent medical ^ school. , ?
