The Aiken County Center of the University of South Carolina, established three years ago, has steadily pushed onward toward becoming an outstanding part of the University's OH-campus system. It has consistently maintained the Uni- versity's high standard of excellence and at the same time increased its enrollment. Housed in a handsome old Southern mansion on a four-acre lot with stately trees, twining ivy and camellias and azaleas of another era, the Center offers up-to-date, quality education in almost every field. A student may earn two years' credit in the fields of arts and sciences, education, business administration, engineering, journalism, law, pharmacy and medicine. A complete two- year secretarial program is offered, too, for per- sons interested in specializing in that field, and nursing courses are to be expanded as needed. In addition to freshman and sophomore resi- dent credit requirements, the Aiken County Center offers courses of special interest in the community. This year, classes in archaeology, real estate, insurance and industrial statistics at- tracted many adults from Aiken and surround- ing areas. Teachers in the area, too took advant- age of the graduate education courses offered to help them achieve or maintain their certification ratings.

A well-organized student council promotes special holiday dances and other events during the school year, and the successful sports program is en- thusiastically backed by students and faculty alike. The campus paper, planned, written and made up by the students and printed on the presses of the local daily newspaper, attracts stu- dents interested in that field. Other activities are offered to suit the tastes and talents of all. As one Aiken County Center student ex- presses it: lVe are proud to be a pa1't of such a fine institution, for here we have formed not only the basis for many lasting friendships but also we are receiving a solid foundation on which to build for the rest of our education and our lives. Aiken County Center students and their par- ents, alike, are grateful to the citizens of the county and the University officials who made the establishment of the center possible. A debt of gratitude is due Sen. Edward C. Cushman, J r. for his tremendous interest and efforts and to all other members of the county legislative delega- tion and to Mr. Francis A. Townsend, chairman of the county's higher education commission, and the other commissionmembers: Don D. Kennedy, Charles F. Kneece, Julian D. Ellett, Elden J ones, George Parks, Eugene Sawyer and Ray- mond VVarner. Sem i-Spiral Stairway Overlooking Back Campus. .55 .xe i . f -5.1
