Audit coun g bill is that the LAG will obtain commodity expenditure data from me uomptroller's computerized records, rather than from a commodity code structure to be developed by the Division of General Services D.~r; . However, Schioeder said, agencies will still be required to report to the DGS.

"Some problems developed in the wording of the act and what the actual results will be," he added. The act specifies that "all expenditures will be reported," but, McEachern explained, the pur chase order system would be subject to some variations because of incomplete deliveries, cancellations of deliveries and sales tax. The state is going ahead with the ) commodity code requirement for two reasons, McEachern said. One is that in the long-range it will provide the kind of accountability the Stevenson Bill wants; and two, if YUill nrmii^o o o v t? j/i w ? iuv a uaia iwac lllctl UdS Former dean desi WardU By Wayne T. Brooks While many academic departments at USC had been trying to update their facilities, the College of Education, for many years, had been trying to get its own building. The College of Education began in the 1880's without its own building. At that time various buildings were used, Dr. William W. Savage said. Nearly 50 years later the Peabody Foundation annroarhpH T nffi^ioic __ r r v/?

Half of the building was used by the college and the other half was known as University High School.

Agencies can either feed data k directly into the DGS computer, 1 can provide DGS with computer * tapes or with computer cards. And, he added, smaller agencies will simply let the DGS do the pur- A chasing for them. I Purchases by state agencies, I departments and institutions will I be recorded in three ways: by 1 agency by commodity ; by vendor by commodity ; and by commodity. } The LAC is preparing a second set of instructions to agencies w wnicn snouia be ready within a few ~ weeks, Schroeder said. The draft will contain clarifications in the areas of commodity code reporting and reporting of all personnel or organizational charts. h A first "package" of instructions v was sent to agency directors July t 1, asking for critiques. The LAC t has been studying problems in- a dicated by some agencies in their critiques. 0 Schroeder said he thinks the act k was passed by the legislature, b because, "The General Assembly p :rlbes struggles aw histor i Columbia School System. ] The building was constructed < during the Great Depression, a < time when the economy of South ] Carolina was hurt worse than that ? of most states. ; "South Carolina was a poor state 1 and had not fully recovered from the Civil War," Savage said. As a result, theS.C. Legislature allowed USC to keep student fees instead of \ returning them to the legislature 5 for allocation. \ v All professors were paid "in 1 script" ("if and when thp Hac the money, it will pay"). Savage added that all professors were paid. Because of the failing economy, professors' salaries were lowered so that more funds could be used to pay the costs of construction for Wardlaw College.
