For example, if the business school were losing money on students taking English classes, the it could start offering English classes. “That’s a serious concern,” said Rob Wilcox, USC law pro fessor and president of the Faculty Senate. “The faculty have already begun to be more vigilant to ensure that as new courses are added, they are jus tified and not simply put in place to raise money for a body.” One consequence of VCM yvlll be more responsibility and con trol placed on the college deans. “I think this is really great, be cause that way we know exactly what kind of money we will be working with and we can plan ahead,” Sadik said. On the other hand, colleges will have more expenses because of VCM. For example, space allo cation, heating and air condi tioning, and janitorial services for the buildings will fall under the responsibility of the colleges. Wilcox said that because of this, more emphasis will be placed on the business managers. “The role of the business man agers will be to provide the dean with information and ideas as to how to be more efficient where costs could be contained,” Wilcox said. Blackwell said that most of the VCM requirements are already being implemented, resulting in a substantial amount of work. “It is going to kind of be tough,” he said. “I’m finding more and more time demands to keep up with the normal opera tions and get along with new pro cess, the VCM requirements. _ - — f Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com PHOTO BY MARK SCHILUNG/THE GAMECOCK Above: Ralph Nader, a 2000 presidential candidate for the Green Party, spoke Tuesday night In the Russell House Ballroom to a sold-out crowd.

Through her three years and several positions in SG, including Cabinet and executive place ments, Dreiling said, she has been able “to see the inside and outside of the Student Government.” One way she hopes to improve SG is to get more students in volved. Dreiling said she knows many students don’t think SG rep resents them, but that “if we get more students involved in Student Government, then we can force it to represent the students.” “The function of Student Government is to represent the students and make sure that it’s serving the students’ needs,” Dreiling said. “The duty of the president is to make sure that the organization is meeting that func tion.” Dreiling said that, as president, she would meet that function. “I think the Student Government hasn’t been that effective this year, because it’s just been disor ganized,” she said.
