Commits at S.G. c< By BONNIE DAVIS Senior reporter To avoid the problems that occur red during last spring's Studen Government elections, S.G. Presi dent James Franklin has appointee an ad-hoc Constitutional Revisior Committee. The committee functions in an ad visory capacity only, making recom mendations concerning amendment: to the Senate. Its main purpose is tc delete any inconsistencies that exist ir the constitution and to make th< document more flexible so that it wil apply to future administrations. "We want to make sure people se< this as beneficial to the entire studen body," said Franklin, "not jus S.G." The committee will hold an orientation meeting Thursday and will begin revising the constitution next week. Franklin said he hopes to see some results in the next two to three weeks or at least by the homecoming election in October. The spring election difficulties "cost S.G. a significant portion of its reputation," according to Andrew Aun, administrative assistant to Franklin The problems that occurred last Blow out "The real tragedy the storm left is what are these people going to do and how are these people going to make a comeback, to restore their lives to some kind of normal level," Hollis said. "It is going to take a long time. Things are in really terrible shape, and the resources just aren't there. Jamaica is a relatively poor country," he said. The whole island was cut off from communication with the outside world.

Legal advisers later said the executive - session violated the S.C. Freedom of t Information Act and was therefore 1 illegal. USC officials then invalidated the senate meeting, thus making all action taken null and void. On the resignation of Elections Commissioner John Singh, a new election committee was appointed, headed by Garry Malphrus. New elections were held in mid-April. The new revision committee is comprised of nine members representing the senate, executive staff, the judicial board, the student body and an adviser, Woody Carothers, who also serves as S.G. adviser S.G. Attorney General Kevin Siroble has been appointed as chairman. ntinued from page 1 the storm was headed next.

Westinghouse.^ )rovost and executive vice president for Academic \ffairs. Consortium representatives hope to reach a final agreenent with Westinghouse before March. "It has been instructive for us," USC-Aiken Chancellor Bob Alexander told The Gamecock in a elephone interview from Pittsburgh. "We are becoming amiliar with what the other cooperatives are doing. It is 'ery interesting, because many of their projects are imilar to some that we hope to do." These meetings were planned long before iVestinghouse's bid to manage SRP was accepted several veeks ago, he said. Some USC faculty members oppose the university's dans to formalize research ties with the SRP lab. "I am strongly skeptical of the proposal," said Peter iederberg, a government and international studies proessor. "I think the benefits are being exaggerated and the isks underestimated. It's not the kind of relationship I'd ike to see the university pursue." The parts of the program which would be most >eneficial to the university are the ones that will probably eceive the least amount of support, Sederberg said.

The distinguished scientist program would bring greater benefit, but is less likely to be approved because Westinghouse is not likely to fund dozens of scientists for the program, Sederberg said. "The greatest benefit would come if the consortium could successfully create and manage an autonomous world-class laboratory," he said. "This would be a notable accomplishment, but it is the most expensive of the proposals and is not likely to be funded." Sederberg said, however, that he has not closed his mind to the program and that he might change his views if he hears new information. Elmer Schwartz, associate dean of engineering for undergraduate studies, said he is taking a neutral view on the subject. "I think the university should look carefully at this relationship, to ensure that they are not being used, but 1 am not opposed to the program," Schwartz said. "1 do think that we should stand in competition with other universities for research projects at the plant, though." Schwartz heads a planned Faculty Senate committee. Faculty members will be able to address ideas and concerns on the SRP project to the committee. /ay ipiiHi i ~ J ^ *"* i cc 0 NIGHT AT ZACKS! IR 4pm-8pm iu**% \ 32 oz.
