Edwards, who served as South Carolina’s governor from 1975 to 1979, was offered the post Friday by the school’s board of trustees, but said he would postpone a decision until he con sulted with Reagan. “Because of my strong com mitment to the administration and the tasks still before me here, I plan to discuss the situa tion with the president,” Ed wards, an oral surgeon, said. “Only after I have given the matter a lot of careful and Bring your child and visit our professional staff in our new Ultra Modem Facility!!

Edwards, 54, who has ex pressed a desire to return home, said previously he is committed to Reagan’s plan to dismantle the Energy Department before leaving the administration. He has estimated the task could ex tend into midsummer. To assure a place for Ed- f wards, the board named Dr. Marcus Newberry, dean of MUSC’s College of Medicine, as acting president effective May 17. Newberry said he expects to remain in the job until about Sept. 1. Edwards and Newberry were among the four finalists inter viewed for the job which opened when Dr. William Knisely res igned under pressure after six years in the position, and several state and federal audits were cri tical of the school’s management practices. United Press International OZARK, Mo. — This tiny southwest Missouri commun ity is up to its ears in ink pens and is in the market for a new city clerk. Betty Tennis was asked to resign after the town council found out she bought 87 gross — or 12,258 ballpoint pens — enough to give each resident five pens and still have plenty left over. “We could have purchased a new police car for what we spend on ink pens,” said Ho ward Jones, mayor of the town of 2,400, concerning the $7,000 tab for the pens. Boxes of Bic and Paper- mate pens had been arriving at the city hall at the rate of 10 gross a month since last April, City Attorney Jim Eiffert said. Tennis resigned Tuesday from the appointed office she had held since January 1981, he said. “Her story is that she was called by a salesman who said something to the effect that ‘I can give you a good deal on some ballpoint pens.’ The mayor said ‘go ahead and order some pens.’ At least the tgh cl a “The pens are every where.

Sun Myung Moon indicate the Korean evangelist had a sophis ticated knowledge of banking and was not naive about finan cial matters, as his lawyers con tend. The prosecution says Moon, head of the Unification Church, did not declare on his income tax returns $50,000 worth of stock he received free of charge. He also is charged with failing to declare $112,000 he received in interest from the $1.6 million bank account. As the trial opened in U.S. District Codrt in Manhattan, Moon’s church was banned from Singapore because it was “prejudicial to public welfare and good order.” Lewis Burgess, a member of Moon’s Unification Church, tes tified about the stock acquisition under subpoena Friday, the second day of Moon’s trial. Burgess testified Moon’s ac quisition of the stock gave him control of Tong 11 Enterprises in New York, a tea importer, and allowed him to purchase tea from a company he founded and controlled in Korea. Burgess said the acquisition of the 500 shares, selling at $100 each, was made in June 1973, seven months after Moon ar rived in the United Sip Korea.
