From Staff and Wire Reports '
USC President John Palms offered a
rough draft of the university's mission in
the coming years, but critics said it lacked
details.
Palms advocated less bureaucracy and
more classroom uniformity in a speech to
school faculty and administrators. His
plan included a list of goals he said he
hoped could be adopted by the USC board
of trustees next spring.
He described the school and its nine
campuses as "a single university, geographically
dispersed" that should "move immediately
to implement university-wide
policies and procedures designed to serve
student needs."
"We will provide a challenging common
curriculum, excellent instruction
across the system, individualized attention
to students and appropriate recognition

Cornelius.
Police later learned Williams was married to
three other men, in addition to the two soldiers.
Williams was charged, among other things,
with obtaining $4,200 and $5,100 in military
benefits from 1985 to 1989 as the wife of Cor- '
nelius while the two were not legally married.
He also was convicted of passing some bad
checks at the post exchange at Fort Bragg,
N.C., and was sentenced to 27 months in
prison.
On appeal, Williams argued that his marriage
to Cornelius was legal because in South Carolina,
where they were married, there is no law
F forbidding people of the same sex to marry.
But the appeals court said that even if Wili
Hams' sex did not invalidate the marriage, the
) fact he was a bigamist did.
