"The report is reflective of the very difficult task of achieving concensus and what education is all about," Holderman said at the meeting.

One of its recommendation was that general education requirements should be common to all undergraduate programs, including English, mathematics, natural sciences, and humanities and social sciences. All programs should include a six credit-hour minimum in English 101 and 102 or above. Three credits of mathematics and three additional credits of computer science, mathematics, logic or statistics should also be included in bachelor's programs. Humanities and social sciences should include six credit hours, including three of history and six of natural sciences, with a mandatory lab requirement. The commission suggested colleges set admission ^WJWTWWTTU 10! Ulipei-level program status. 1 he requirements would ensure competency by requiring a minimum grade-point average or an exam.

The Columbia campus should offer a range of undergraduate degree programs that would meet needs in both academic and technical areas. USC's nine-campus system should be strengthened and communication among campus faculties encouraged. Funds for systemwide meetings should also be allocated. The report said campuses should communicate on course requirements, curricula changes, prerequisites and course renumbering. Off-campus course requests at system campuses should be reviewed by the appropriate campus faculty. I JSr ?hnnlH fAntimio In ?: women faculty members and administrators.

The report also said faculty development and support should be furthered through sabbaticals, release time and research and scholarship opportunities. Faculty exchange programs were also encouraged. The commission recommended system campuses offer higher education access to students who have not met tour-year campus standards. Also, they encouraged studies of academic and co-curricular factors influencing undergraduates. Upgrading campus libraries and specialized teaching facilities were encouraged as well as funding from the state Commission on Higher Education for computer technology. The commission's final recommendation was that decisions regarding campus evolution should involve an assessment of the impact upon the community, students and system as a whole. student remains m ? ious condition football injury t remained in serious condition at Richland Memorial ay after being injured during an intramural football * USC spokesman said. , a junior from North Myrtle Beach, underwent brain a.m. yesterday, according to Jerry Brewer, dean of ing in a flag football game Monday between 7:30 and fraternity, Phi Kappa Alpha, when he collided with Brewer said. woozy and twice refused medical attention, Brewer uedic had been on duty at the game, but was not re;ame and drove his car to Columbia Hall dormitory, i., Allen began to suffer from a severe headache and Irewer said.
