"We'll have to wait them out, but I would hate for if to go over the weekend." But Rep. John Felder, D-Calhoun, predicted the bill will be amended before it wins final House approval.

Center. Continued from page 1. school, these factors are expected to make USC an attractive site for national and international engineering conferences. The center's direct link-up with several satellites will bring engineering seminars and classes from across the country to USC. Several classrooms will be equipped with video camcras, which will allow classes to be seen in the homes and companies of practicing engineers by using video tapes and closed-circuit television. As a founder of a national consortium for the continuing education of engineers, USC will join several other major engineering colleges to create a National Technological University to deliver coursework nationwide to engineers at their workplace. Othei university members include Stanford, Michigan, Illinois, MIT, Georgia Tech.,and Colorado State.

Rep. Robert Woods, D-Charleston, who opposes the measure, said, "We arc not in tcrested in death with dignity, but life with dignity. South Carolina owes its citizens more than that." Noting the execution of Joseph Carl Shaw, the United Presbyterian Church minister asked, "Why must we embrace this other concept of killing? That's what it amounts to?" A similar law is in effect in 22 other states, Keyserling said it is permissive legislation only and includes built-in protections, she said. A patient's declaration would have to be signed and witnessed by two people who are not relatives, financially respaonsible for his care or entitled to a portion of his estate, she said. It also could be revoked by a simple verbal declaration, she said. "This bill deals with simple human dignity and freedom of choice," said Rep. Robert J. Shehaeen, D-Kershaw. "It allows people to say 'Give me some peace.'" and student enrollment in the undergraduate program will nearly double in the next five years, along with an increase in the number of classrooms and other facilities. Undergraduate enrollment is expected to grow from 1,400 to 3,000 by the early 1990's, while graduate enrollment will increase from 400 to as much as 1,000 Limited space in the current engineering building has prevented adequate response to the rising demand for engineers. Waugh said we will have to triple the number of graduates by 1990 to produce our share of the nations engineers.
