Honored at Opportunity School Right To Know Bill sponsored by Griffith Senator Eugene Griffith, Re publican from District 22, dur ing last week’s legislative ses sion introduced two bills aim ed at giving the people more information and thereby great er understanding of their gov ernment. Senator Griffith introduced a bill which provides that meetings of the committee of the General Assembly and other committees formed by resolution of the General As sembly shall be public. “So much of the important discuss ion,” Griffith declared, “that goes on in the General Assem bly is done in committee that the people and the press must know what is happening in those bodies to be able to judge the merits of the proposals and the performance of their elect ed representatives.” The second bill introduced by Senator Griffith is t) create a committee to study the pov erty program in South Caro lina. “There is mounting evi dence,” Griffith stated, “ap pearing in the press and the Congressional Record about the mismanagement and political use being made of the poverty program that it warrants an investigation. We have already seen evidence of this condition in the State of South Caroli na and believe it is hurting the people in the State generally as well as not really helping those who are in need.” Farley given Study Grant A Newberry College pro fessor has received a research and creativity grant for sup port of a project to study the yellow fever in Nineteenth Century Charleston.
