Funding for Coasti SCOTT DERKS Funding for a third year prog ram at Coastal Carolina was approved by the S. C. House Ways and Means Committee at the rate of $825 per student Thursday but the matter is still open to revision. Horry County Representa tive, Charles E. Hodges, a member of the House committee, said the approved funds are inadequate and should be much higher. He is still hopeful for a higher rate per student. The approved $825 per stu dent, a jump from the present funding of $600 per student, was still well below the allot ments allowed other state sup ported schools in South Carolina, he said. On Jan. 22 the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees moved Coastal Carolina one step closer to a full four-year program by approv ing junior level courses at the extention, pending accredita tion requirments and General Assembly funding. Board Chairman T. Eston Marchant said the campus, with 744 full-time equivalent (FT7E) students, does qualify for the third-year course, but refused of Columbia . . .

Rep. Hodges said the Coastal student allotment of $825 was less than half of the allocation for each FTE on the Columbia campus. "Once a school has 700 stu dents it should automatically go to a third year. I don't feel the University is treating the new law as it was intended" Rep. Hodges said. He was the author of the amendment to an act passed last year that allowed regional campuses to institute third-year courses. "I think it is very important that Coastal be given a chance to expand. I have nothing against the Unversity expand ing, but it would be less expen sive on parents if student didn't have to go to Columbia. "Students at coastal pay the same tuition without all the ser vices," Rep. Hodges said. "Why should a branch be less than half?" He said the cost of building in Columbia was so prohibitive that USC should start looking to places like Coastal Carolina to accept more of the burden of educating the youth of South Carolina. aat w~e vould like our new ~ut they don't alwaeys know ~lp by escorting them to a :ity.
