USc revenue appropriated for 1975-71 Academic Excellence From Page 7 What we are doing in the college is basically just building on what was done before. I think my predecessors had enough initiative to see that we'd eventually reach a prominent status. Q. Do you personally have any 'dreams' for the College of Education? A. I would like to see a complete group of students embodied in the three C's I mentioned earlier. Also, I can visualize an Academy for Performing Teaching Arts in which students and retrained teachers can be rewarded with a "crystal apple" which symbolizes that they have learned the practice of teaching and that those students they are teaching will have benefited from their practice. I am encouraged by faculty efforts to retain what was good with this College and that at the same time make certain fundamental changes to improve the in stitution. Q. Just where do you think the USC College of Education is in reference to other Higher Educational schools In the nation? A. Well, we're growing and moving at the same time. We've passed the stage of just producing teachers to fill the market. By and large, the faculty feels we are going somewhere. They realize that together we are moving to where we can be recognized nationally. You know it's a good feeling to see yourself moving to prominence. It's like the baseball Gamecocks headed for the national finals. You enjoy the kinds of indicators which say you are gaining first class stature.

Smith recommended that Carolina take a $5 million cut out of a total of $7 million for South Carolina's state-supported colleges. The Senate returned $1.8 million of the $5 million bringing USC's total to $43,519,862. Daetwyler criticized Smith's handling of the distribution of funds for South Carolina colleges because Smith abandoned a formula used by the state Commission on Higher Education (CHE). The formula recognizes the higher cost of educating graduate students. Last year 30.1 per cent of the University's students were graduate students, making up two thirds of the state's graduate enrollment. Instead of using the CHE formula, Smith took last year's appropriations for each college and in creased it by the school's predicted percentage of enrollment increase. USC came out with less than it would under the formula because its predicted increase over 1974 was 1.12 per cent, second lowest of all state-supported colleges and -niversities. Daetwyler said, "Our statistics show a 1.1 per cent increase. That's garbage. You have to know what type of discipline it is. "The Higher Education formula isn't perfect but it does recognize the cost of different disciplines and levels within each discipline." He said an undergraduate English course might have a lot of students taught by a graduate assistant but a graduate student might be the only member of a class taught by a highly paid Ph.D. Smith said he abandoned the CHE formula because it originally gave USC an unreasonably high share of the budget. The formula would have given the school $55 million for 1975-76, $14 million over last year's $41 million while enrollment is expected to increase by 210 students over last year. "$14 million for 200 students," he said, "it just staggers me, that's all."

CONTEST Si CALL 794 Ask for TheJIOURf rom USC Budget Smith said he considered reducing all the colleges by the same percentage, but some schools would not have been able to afford the cut. "One reason for not doing that was the effect it would have had on other schools, particularly the College of Charleston." USC was not being treated unfairly by the reductions, Smith said. "Our regard for them would have been exactly the same if it were for somebody else." CHE recommended USC get $49 million which was cut down to $46.7 million as passed by the House. The Senate Finance committee added $800,000 for USC's new medical school to what Smith had recommended, $41.7 million, bringing the figure to $42.5 million. An additional million was added on the Senate floor. University lobbyist Phil Grose, executive assistant to the president for governmental relations said he and President William H. Pat terson had been in contact with several legislators in an attempt to get more monoey for the school. "We just presented them with our budgetary needs," he said. Grose said Clemson University was the only other cdllege with a similar legislative representive. But "all of them have ways of dealing with the General Assembly," he said. Grose said the University is willing to accept the Senate appropriations if it is what the school eventually receives but is not happy with it. "The fact that the Board of Trustees had to vote to in crease tuition fees is evidence that it wasn't enough," he said. Grose said a legislative committee has been set up to review the CHE formula and probably set up a new formula. "The University wants to.have as much input into that committee as possible," he said. Grose said he supported the present formula but that it lacked credibility in the legislature. Smith said he expects a modified version of the CHE formula to be adopted. urs A IP Df k Time A SINISTER'S TUITION FUNNES! E'S HOW ri State) Scholarships to U.S.C. to the scriptions.
