It will take a projected 922
millin to operate tha Mercer \
School of Medicine, which is
expected to open in September
1978, according to Daan George
Bernard.
On August 11, 1970, • bond
issue passed the City of Macon
which will give the medical
achool 97 million for . capital
•pending. Dr Bernard aaid that
there waa an “all out cam
paign" ovar the summer,
including over 80 spsschss with
• slide preeentetion, newspa
per. television, and radio
endorsements.
The problem now, Bernard
aaid. ia that the achool needs a
“letter lof reaaonable asur-
ance “ That ia. a medical
school must be able to prove
that they have adequate apace,
a faculty, a curriculum, a library,
and fiscal. assurance Fiscal
assurance means that every
cent must be accounted for
during the first four years. U
also must he proven that the
temperature where *n»m*U will
be uaed for experiments will be
kept between 50* and 80*
These must be met in order to
qualify for federal funds which
would make up^20% of the total
coat.
The school will open with 36
studedts in the first class At
present, there are no full-time
faculty members, but there are
six part-Ume faculty r iambers
and a medical.librarian now
On the available 48 scree,
Mercer will initially house three
faculty/laboratory office build
ings, three laboratory classroom
buildings, and a three-story
library. Downtown, a service
clinic will be added to the
Medical Center, staffed by
graduates in residency
Medical srhools traditionally
emphasize chronically ill pa
tients in a hospital situation
One change would be for them
to perhaps work at a doctor's
office in a rural town like Byron.

' During the past week it was
discovered that a swimming
pool actually does exist on
property-recently purchased by
Mercer Univeristy:
When questioned by report* -
ers from the Cluster, it was
revealed the! triw to the pool
was limited to the residents of
the Beararms Apts, the location
of the pool. The residents pay
rent to Mercer University, and
according to sources are pre
dominate Walter F. George
Lew School students.
A source at the Physical Plant
explained that the reason for
limiting scree# to the apartment
reskMbta was that if it was
opsoeo-upr* very body would be
wanting to use the facility and
that “not even the faculty was
allowed to use the pool.' ’
When interviewing several
S.G.A.^-Senators, these com*
mente were made. One Senator
was heard to remark, “you're
kidding." Another/ who was
equally surprised, felt that the
S.G.A. should look into the
matter.*Most students express
surprise and the opinion that,
while the facility is smaller than
an Olympic-mixed pool, it should
be open to all students of the
Mercer community since the
property was pureh seed and is
currently owned by Mercer
University.

Times, William Safirv said he

With the wage-price freeze in

economic reporting.
Watergate became Daniel
Shorr’s story after the break-in
in the Summer of 1972, and he
stayed with that expanding
investigation until it engulfed
the Nixon Administration. His
Watergate coverage earned him
three Emmy Award*: in 1973
and 1974 from the NaHoual
Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences, and praise from
newspaper commentators like
John J. O'Connor, of The New
York Ttmee, who called him
“one of the moot informed and
reliable commentators" on the
Watergate situation.
In 1974, Schorr started

1976.
TTiere is something about the
depth ’and incisiveness of
Schorr's reporting that seems to

the Summer of 1973, Schorr
