Occupied in January of 1972, it provided a modern gymnasium, a more spacious student center, and lab facilities for nursing instruction. Fall ' 73 registration saw enrollment reach the seven hundred Full Time Equivalent level and the regional campus received the authority to offer junior-level courses for the first time. » ■- • »«i?PWt:r? 10

Murph Marian Murph serves as the institution ' s Admin- istrative Assistant. When I started to worl in April of 1967 there was no USC region- al campus. All I had was a telephone. My table and chair were borrowed from the hospital. Dr. Stirzaker, the school ' s first director, came in July. We did everything that was done, even putting the furniture together. During this time a new hospital wing was under construction and we had to work while listen- ing to jackhammers and bulldozers. Those of us who have been with USC-S since the beginning have a special feeling about the school. A certain spirit of coop- eration which arose from those hardships has made each accomplishment a great reward. The greatest reward is to see former students return to the community and become leaders, some who may have been de- nied the chance to further their educations without USC-S. James P. Sloan, As- sistant Professor of Polit- ical Science, served as USC-Spartanburg Assistant Directorfor Academic Af- fairs from 1970 through 1973 when he chose to return to full-time teach- ing. In the beginning, there were only seven or eight faculty members. We were able to hold meetings with the entire group sitting around one table. We were on a first- name basis, a closely-knit group, and there was a great feeling of coopera- tion. Sloan, who became a university professor after a long career in industry and public relations, con- siders teaching an oppor- tunity to make a contri- bution to the lives of young people while they are in their impression- able years. In commenting on the phenomenal growth of USC-S, he considers it good because it provides many students who other- wise would be denied a college education an op- portunity to receive one at a reasonable cost. Stirzaker Norbert Stirzaker, USC - Spartanburg ' s first director, served in that capacity until 1973. He is now an Associate Profes- sor of Educational Admin- istration. When we first started there were only nine faculty members so we were closely knit. We met practically every day at coffee break. This is what is missed most as the school grows. There were close relationships with both the faculty and stu- dents. Problems could be solved quickly because good lines of communica- tion existed within the group. I used to enjoy taking cheerleaders and players to basketball games in my station wagon since the school had no cars of its own. With growth things are less personal. But growth is inevitable in a metropolitan area the size of Spartanburg. We ' re in the largest single tax- paying district and de- serve a first class, four- year institution, USC-S can not help but continue to grow. DavidTaylor is an As- sistant Professor of Biolo- gy. He is also the Chair- man of the Division of Science, Engineering and Mathematics. When we began in the basement of the nurses residence at the hospital, the faculty was so small we could sit around one table. The laboratory and classroom facilities were not ideal but were ade- quate for the time. Today we have grown tremendously. I would like to see expansion in the science, area but we must expand first in the areas of heaviest enrollment. We must support the re- quirements of the major- ity of our students. This is why the school exists. The growth of USC-S is evidence of the need for this type of institution in the community. We have been able to provide a reasonable priced edu- cation for many who may not have had the oppor- tunity to recieve it other- wise. Sloan
