Simoneau as SAC clu BY LEE POWELL Of The 0amecock staff Paul Simoneau resigned Tuesday as chairperson of the Studepnt Allocations Commission (SAC), a position he held for one year. Simoneau, who had planned to run for Student Government Association (SGA) president this semester, said at the SAC meeting, "I am resigning as committee chairman, effective at the end of this meeting." SAC is the organization which allocates funds from the Student Activities Fees to the various student organizations and clubs, such as SGA, all of the media and University Union. Tamera Cagney, a SAC member, was named chairperson on Simoneau's recommendation. Simoneau explained his reason for resigning. "I have to drop out of school to accept a position." Simoneau said he had been offered this position within the last 10 days. Cagney was unanimously ac cepted to succeed Simoneau as chairperson.

The members of SAC passed a new set of guidelines which will be effective for the spring budget hearings. Later this semester, all student organizations funded by SAC must submit a budget to SAC for approval if they wish to con tinue operation. An important point in the new guidelines concerns open and closed membership for student groups. The section states that religious, fraternal, political and all other organizations who have restriction criteria for mem bership shall not be funded by SAC for an annual budget. SAC member Frank Siano mentioned a new system for funding the various organizations during discussion on the guidelines. This would be a for mularized system in which the student groups will get a definite percentage of monies from the Student Activities fees. This, of course, could eliminate SAC, for it is their job to decide what funds go where. rs briefs nay drop a course without an NC s can apply for May graduation, day as the date for applications to I present its 1975 "New Music 1, featuring USC composer Don e a concert by the USC Orchestra eb. 27) at 8 p.m. and an evening of posers at 8 p.m. on Friday. seminars and workshops during p.m. Lew Gillis will speak on the urday the Composers Guild New I be held with both Don Gillis and will conduct a jingle writing and will be held in Fraser Hall and the te works of Bob Rowan, manager Services Center at the University lay today and tomorrow at the e.

S.C. Post-grac BY BILL GRANT Of The Gamecock staff By next year one out of every three students at the University of South Carolina will be in enrolled in either graduate or law school, USC President William H. Pat terson predicted Tuesday. In a prepared speech to the Columbia Rotary Club, Patterson discussed a number of USC projects,- including academic programs, construction and the link between the University and the rest of the city. Citing a general leveling-off in undergraduate enrollment, Pat terson said the University is now in a "period of consolidation and strengthening," which has allowed USC the freedom to persue academic quality and excellence. "Pursuit of graduate and research excellence opens up what we must all consider to be an in creasingly important role for the University of South Carolina," Patterson said. ' "We feel that we should-and that we can--become one of the prin cipal research institutions in the Southeast." He said USC has only begun to realize its potential in the academic area. Patterson said $5.8 million in research, training Sr GAME Large Coffee & A Gla qf 5' Lemonade w Executive PLUS Burge Slim Gem, Sma Specic ratio to i and activities grants have been awarded to USC faculty. This, he said, represents an increase of almost 50 per cent in just four years. Calling attention to the Thomas Cooper Library, the new biological sciences center, additions to the physical education center, the Pendleton Street parking facility and the proposed Gambrell Hall, Patterson noted that "things are not at a standstill," on the USC campus. "To some, of course, new con struction at the University of South Carolina has not always been welcome," he said. "Several months ago I said that the University wanted to establish a new good-neighbor policy in the city of Columbia. He said University officials and community residents have worked together to set new boundaries for University expansion in the East Campus area-the Gibbes Green neighborhood. "We have also held meetings with citizens of the area south of Blossom Street, and we intend to. work with them in determining how the University's interests--and the community's interests-can be served by proper planning in that neighborhood.

Patterson said because of the growth of higher education in the state during the past decade, there is more of a need for each in stitution to coordinate the role it is playing within the overall state system. Pledging support for the Higher Education Commission in its effort at long range planning of the state's university system and its formula for allocating money to schools, Patterson said, however, "like all formulas it is not perfect." Patterson noted there is a dif ference in the cost factor in educating students at different levels and in different programs, with higher costs incurred at schools where a number of graduate programs are offered. He said it is crucial that the Commission continue to recognize the cost factors involved in graduate programs and research programs. He said that the University, however, recognizes the nation's economic plight and the state's financial difficulties. Patterson said he had met with his vice presidents to discuss economy measures that the. University might be forced to implement.
