himself in a most optimistie manner
regarding the possibilities the situa
tion offers. The fact that the trustees
of the State University have expressed
a determination to relocate the institu
tion in order that it may properly ex
pand was stressed at the meeting and

termined to make an* all-out effort to
have the institution located in or
adjacent to this city.

The publicity committee Is headed

The steering committee will meet
during the week following Christmas
at which time reports and suggestions
from other committees will be receiv
ed and plans made for the immediate
preparation of a prospectus or brief,
which will be submitted to the board
of trustees of the State University
shortly after the first of the year.
According to figures submitted to
the board of trustees of the University
the State could construct an entire
new campus on another location for
over a million dollars less than the
cost to the State of expansion on the
present site. 4^ Expansion, says the
figures submitted, would cost the state
$4,600,000 while a new plant would
cost the State approximately $3,000,-
000.
The tabulations showed that to ex
pand at the present location with $1
additional buildings, plus thd purchase
of the land, it would require a total
of $9,200,000. Whereas, for the con
struction of a new university on a
different site the toUl figure would
be $12,850,000.
The trustees voting for the change
lowever* plan to purchase the land for
the new site for less than the coat of
the land to expand. They expect a
reimbursement of $2,600,000 for the
old plant.
According to their figures the land
to expand adjacent to the present site
would cost $1,000,000 plus improve
ments of $2,000,000. But the land to
be purchased would cost only $300,000.
including the landscaping.
Each of the 12 dormitories would
cost $350,000. The most expensive
building being planned for tbe new
ecation would be the school of engi
neering at $800,000. Other large build-
ngs would be tbe student union at
$750,000 and the library at $650,000.
Tbe new plant would have 27 build
ings or constructions, including a mod
em stadium, 12 dormitories besides
the homes of the president, faculty
members and employees.
Under the plan for moving the
trustees noted Uat' the government
FAM 4UIIK
grant of 50 per cent would be $<.250,-
000, whereas a similar grant for an
expansion program would be $3,M0.-
000.
New buildings as outlined under an
expansion program include an admin
istration at $200,000; chapel, audi
torium and music $€50,000; biology.
$150,000; chemistry and pharmacy,
$350,000; home economics, $250,000;
engineering. $800,000; Journalism.
$150,000. and a student union at
$750,000.
All these buildings are incorporated
in the plan for changing the location.
Some $400,000 would ^ spent on
homes for the faculty, president and
employees.
A college of arts and science at the
proposed new location would cost
$400^0(10.
Camden activity in connection with
the action of tbe trustees and the fact
that Camden is seriously campaigning
to have the State University located
here, is causing considerable discus
sion in Columbia and among the rdhks
of the alumni. Columbia naturally is
violently opposed to bbting any re
location of the University, or if one
is necessary, that such a change would
mean merely a transfer to a point
near Columbia. Several sites are be
ing considered, one of them most
strongly favored being on the Sumter
highway near the Columbia city limits..
Hundreds of alumni have taken up
arms against any relocation, declaring
that the university is built around a
tradition well over a hundred years
old and they are emphatic in their
determination to retain the University
in its presMt location, letting the ex
pansion progiram branch out from
there.
The report that Camden was in the
field to get the university was at first
greeted throughout the Capital. City
with amusement, which later gave
way to indignation when it became
known that the Camden move was
genuine.
