Outlook ( For Wor BY MARION ELLIOTT News Editor The number of students working on work study at USC should in crease during the '75-'76 school term despite the University's funding predicament, according to the USC Financial* Aid Office. An increase in federal funds of $37,171 from last year's allotment (making the University's total federal allotment for work study $634,171) should allow for more students to join the program, according to Martin McGirt, director of Student Financial Aid. 80 per cent of the program's funds come from federal funds and the University gives the remaining 20 per cent in matching funds, McGirt said. Several departments contacted by the Gamecock expressed concern that work study might be cut back because of recent budget cutting measures enacted by the administration. However, McGirt said, "We anticipate no problems with the University coming up with the matching funds. We hope we can have at least a slight increase in the number of students on the program and maybe we can substantially increase if we get supplementary funds." There is a bill in Congress now that if passed would provide supplementary funds for work study programs, McGirt said. If it passes soon and is signed by the president it may mean that a bigger increase in students can be handled this year, according to McGirt. "We have many departments who want more work study students and many students who are qualified for the program but haven't been able to get on it because of a shortage of funds," McGirt said.

Departments requesting more work study, students include the Alumni Association, the Physical Education Department, Upward Bound, the Business Ad ministration School and others according to McGirt. The College of Business Ad ministration is asking for four more students in summer school and about seven more for the fall and spring semesters, John Herin, assistant dean, said. "In, past years we could go over our com mitment for the year a little, but apparently with money now tighter the Financial Aid Office is having to be stricter,". he said. Ted Kone, assistant director of the Alumni Association, said his group has asked for two more work study students to help with an increasing workload. Since the moratorium on hiring. of state employes has gone into effect, they couldn't hire any more regular employes, Kone said. "We hope to get more students to take up the slack." It was announced June 18 by the administration that when the minimum wage increases from $2 to $2.20 per hour this coming January that work study students' will not receive the increase. Previously, students had been paid minimum wage. At that time Sig Huitt, director of Information Services, said the University has realized that it can no longer pay minimum wage because of its tight budget. As an educational in stitution, the University is not legally bound to pay minimum wage to part time help. "If funds were sufficient I would want the increase, but under the present economic conditions I guess this is probably the most practical approach to make," McGirt said. ied Ads Garage (Moving) Sale; hide-a-bed sofa, buffet, double bed, sleeping bags, electric typewriter, lamps, kitchenwar , books (science fiction, novels, social 1cience), magazines - Rolling Stone, Popular Photography, National Geo.-, records, and much more.
