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

real tragedy the storm left is
what are these people going to do and

"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

spring stemmed from violations and
misinterpretations of the election
codes. For example, students were
t not required to sign for receipt of
their ballots, making it possible to
1 vote more than once, and drivers
i licenses were accepted instead of the
required valid student identification.
Also, campaign literature was not

i The Student Senate then held a
- closed executive session during which
' they invalidated the S.G. elections.
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

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.

tremendous enhancement of the university's reputation,"
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.
