The Law School has received a $1
million gift from one of its alumni as
a part of his estate.
Roy Webster, a 1909 graduate of
the Law School, died in 1973 in Concord,
N.C. His widow was left with
the entire estate until her death, 10
years later.
After her death and the final settlement
of the estate in 1987, several
small bequests were made ranging
from $75 to $3,000 to Webster's

also set up trusts of $25,000 for continual

Webster was an only child and had
no children. Therefore legal advisers
said that in the event that money was
left after his wife's death and all bequests
were made, he needed a
beneficiary for the remainder of the
estate.
Webster's last will and testament
states that "The balance of my

USC students and faculty will get
an extra two days off this semester
because the university has added a
fall break around Election Day.
The university will observe the
break Nov. 7-8, a Monday and a
Tuesday.
The date was perfect for a break,
according to S.G. President James
Franklin.
"This was the time. We combined
it with Election Day on Tuesday tc
form a fall break," Franklin said.
The fall break is an idea S.G. has
considered for quite some time
USC-Aiken, Winthrop, Clemson anc
other southeastern colleges have in
stituted fall breaks in the past feu
years.
"We looked at what othei
southeastern institutions are doinj
becalise they are comparable also ir
size and in region," Franklin said.
By focusing on what other college:
were doing, a TELLUS poll wa:
organized. This past year, student:
were asked whether they liked th<
idea, and the majority of the pollec
students voted for it.
In the TELLUS poll, more than 8(
percent of the students were for th<
fall break. But 78 percent als<
thought it should be on a Thursda;
and Friday.
"Students go year round with onl;
a spring break and a winter break
We just need a fall break to complet
that. Students are going to enjoy i
fall break because of the extra time

families," Franklin said.
"I don't think students are goin;
to be hurting educationally by havin;

a student from getting the most fron

According to Dickey's research,
Webster's was quoted as being quite
"eccentric," "peculiar" and "different"
by former students and
classmates. He was also involved and
concerned with his students.

I other university facilities probably
will be open. Students know where
r their priorities are?they know they
have a break," Franklin added.
Sometimes what is in the best int

said.
5 "I don't think faculty, teachers

5 the fall break as much as students
? are. Because they have to set syllabi

? Nov. 7-8 was the perfect time for
3 the fall break. "It wasn't planned to

Holderman's help we were able to

Equally important, students will cone
