The courts have said that such a fee is a reasonable educational expense. USC has received questions from other schools about its system. At USC, students make the decisions about the money spent. Few other schools in the nation allow this. In making value judgments about money, SAC has established guidelines to help in the allocation - of funds. Organizations must conform to SAC guidelines when making budget requests. All allocation requests must be com pleted on a program by program basis. Since each organization on campus has a specific purpose, such a request form forces students to organize and plan ahead to coordinate programs around the group's purpose. Researching costs and projec ting expenses are the responsibility of the organizations before meeting with SAC at the spring hearings to discuss funding. Nicki Cantrell, assistant to Dean Alexander, said the system allows students to be committed to their organization. Money is allocated on the merits of the programs each organization offers. Clubs and organizations are eligible for funding if they have open membership. Religious, political, and fraternal organizations are ineligible for SAC allocations unless they can offer a program for the university campus. "It is about the only decent way you can allocate money," Cantrell said.

Re-establishment of S.C. College as a center for academic ex cellence has enormous potential for improving the reputation of the University, accelerating its real intellectual growth, and training future leaders to their fullest capacity, according to the Com mittee. Mould said the Nada Apart ments, located at the corner of College and Henderson Streets, will be renovated and used for the project.

The Early Childhood Development Building will be renovated as well. "It would be unwise to house only honor students together," Mould said. He favors a setup of 60 per cent honors students and 40 per cent non-honors students. "The Nada Apartments provide an opportunity to live in an area where the classrooms are. No faculty member will be gobbled up in S.C. College and it will not be removed from the student body," Mould explained. The original plan was for S.C. College to be located in the Hor seshoe, but because of certain difficulties, which Mould did not wish to make public, the site was rejected. The programs in S.C. College are divided into three tracks. Track one is devised for the student majoring in pre-professional work such as engineering, business administration, education, or pharmacy leading to a B.A. or B.S. degree. It would total 44 credit hours. Track two is for the student with a major in the traditional Liberal Arts and Sciences leading to a B.A. or B.S. degree. Proficiency in a foreign language must be demonstrated. This track would total 62 credit hours. Track three is in response for an interdisciplinary major for the student desiring a general education leading to a B.A. or B.S. dcgree, often with a view of at tending law or graduate school. This would total 77 credit hours. In the proposed S.C. College, the student is not forced to go from track to track but has his own choice. A 3.5 GPR must be maintained. A student will still need 120 credits to graduate. The Committee's suggested criteria for admission would be a minimum SAT cumulative score of 1250, with no lower than 600 on either the verbal or math sections; a high school rank in the top 10 per cent; and a brief autobiographical CAC :rc *3 C o) a0 -n : Z, C C.(D 00 0'0 Z NOu iblished? essay. A student transferring more than 30 credits from a regional campus or from another college or university may not enter the program. The program will serve 500 to 800 students. Should the Faculty Senate ap prove the program, it must still be ratified by the USC Board of Trustees and finally by the Legislative Commission on Higher Education. The Committee hopes for the program to begin in the Fall of 1976. The problem will be convincing the University administration that the S.C. College is worth the cost, which Mould felt was "not too expensive." Although no exact figure was released, there would be a budgetary increase of from $50,000-$60,000. "I have received many favorable responses toward the program and the faculty is extremely loyal about it, but I have no idea if the proposal will be passed," Mould said. "What we propose is simply one means of exposing the state's gifted students to the education that is offered here," Mould concluded.
