"We're talking about the rights of a sovereign nation," sail

"We see the Reagan administration's recent steps as denial
of important basic human needs," he said.
HE CALLED the invasion "an act of war on a sovereig

The group gathered on Sumter Street, in front of the Worl
War Memorial. They shouted protests and carried sign

In opposition to arguments that the action was an effort t

TATEL DISPUTED the administration's argument that th

da invasion
Students surprised, shocked
By Cindy Piercs
The invasion of Grenada by U.S. Marines and Army
Rangers shocked many people.
Many USC students saw the invasion as necessary to our
policy clgdlllM V.U1111I1UUIMH .
"I think it was necessary. It was a problem of Russian expansion,"
Keith Hamond, hotel-restaurant management
senior said. "I have faith in God and our country."
"My opinion is that our motivation for invasion was to
destroy the construction of the airstrip by the Cubans," said
Ashby Gray, hotel-restaurant management senior.
Other students said they feel there may have been other
reasons for the American invasion of Grenada, such as being a
wnrnino to thf* r?f thp wnrlH
"I'm glad we invaded Grenada. Unfortunately, our invasion
does no good because trying to protect interests in a place
such as Grenada only reinforces the way other countries in
Latin America see America," general commerce sophomore
Robert Martin said.
"We've tried to be a peacekeeping nation. Again, as in
Beirut, we are striving for levels of peace and democracy that
we feel will only be reached by our assistance.
"Let's hope that what has happened in Beirut and Latin
America does not happen in Grenada," Martin said.
Joe Weathers, business administration sophomore, agrees
with the government's actions.
"I think it was the greatest thing we've ever done. Because
in these countries we've been supporting wars like South Vietnam.
They took our troops and we lost 50,000 plus of our
soldiers, and what did we or they get out of it?," Weathers
said. "It's about time we showed the world that the United
States can move in and do what is necessary."
Another student agreed with the U.S. using some of it's
military force. "I think it's great. It's about time we used our

Education college
receives $65,000
to aid rural schools
From Staff Reports
USC's College of Education has received a $66,000 grant
from the U.S. Department of Education to launch the first
year of a three-year program to help rural schools in South
Carolina develop innovative programming for children with
learning problems.
Designed and administered by the department of educational
studies and services at USC, the Educational Adaptation
Program will train teachers in the Lake Greenwood Consortium
schools to adapt existing classroom materials and
techniques for use in teaching children with border-line
i disabilities.

i handicapped children has increased drastically since the
passage of the "educatiuon of all handicapped children act."
"The number of learning disabled students in American's
I schools has doubled since 1977," Lau said. "This has put a
severe economic strain on smaller school districts as they try to
meet the law's requirments.
"SPARSELY POPULATED rural areas simply cannot afr
ford to place every child with a learning disability in special
r education classes," she said. "It's vitally important that we
identify those whose disabilities are slight enough that they
e can be taught in reguaiar classes with minor modifications of
teaching materials and techniques."
r According to Dr. Gail Raymond, project director, the U.S.
Department of Education is interested in seeing new models
r developed to meet the needs of these border-line cases. "South
Carolina's large number of rural schools," she said, "make
it the state an ideal laboratory for just such a model.

turn, they will provide a major service to their school
districts."
