Budget ? raked, and grass would not be cut. Last year instructional budgets \imfo r>nt fivp ruir runt tho nkitcinal f7 VA V VUV 14 T V VV1IV) V* IV OlVUl plant budget was cut 20 per cent,and the university's press was cut 50 per cent. Other budgets were cut up to 100 per cent, including some research programs. STATE FUNDING of the university is based on full-time equivaleri* (FTE) numbers. The total number of hours taken by students is divided by the number of hours for full-time status, 15 for undergraduates and nine for graduates. The result is the FTE number, one for graduates and one for undergraduates, which is used as a basis for funding. The total budget this year was $43,549,699. Daetwyler speculated a cut would range anywhere from four Der cent to 100 t>er cent. Last month, Daetwyler said that a recommendation for a $1.2 million increase in the budget will be presented to the S.C. Legislature when it convenes on Jan. 4, 1977. He said the increase will not be marked for any specific purpose. It will be primarily used to cover faculty, utilities, and maintenance costs. Daetwyler also said that increased student enrollment may necessitate some budget adjustment. "A certain number of students require more faculty," he said. "One half of the operating budget pays the faculty's salaries." SOUTH CAROLINA taxpayers provide $2,289 for the average USC undergraduate carrying 15 hours per semester, Daetwyler said.

"We're not offering the same course load to the same number of students." William Nnlto honH nf thp English department, said, "If a cut were to affect my department, the emphasis would probably be put on a hiring freeze of vacant positions, supplies, and travel expenses for professors attending meetings and conventions. There may be a slight affect to the graduate assistentships, but certainly not salaries." "It would be very difficult for us to decide where to cut from in our department," said Dr. Isaac Levy of the Foreign Languages Department. "Each language is a department in itself." THE DEPARTMENT publishes two international publications, and Levy said he hoped a cut would not delete these. Levy also said that the department faces a delimma of Evaluation? professor," Haynesworth said. According to Haynesworth, all professors and their classes taught each semester are evaluated on a mandatory basis. The evaluations are used in deciding retention, promotion or tenure. The School of Law does not disclose their faculty w evaluation survey to students, but only to the tenured faculty and the professor himself. An additional evaluation may be necessary to benefit the student's needs. "Some information could not be disclosed and in some instances, should not," Haynesworth added. The evaluating process used by the honors program is temporarily siisnendftd during thp according to Dr. Peter Sederberg, i piYzao Rolling to i I For FREE-Fi 6:00 PMt ; Call 2; I Close 6 PM $*$3 | Wed. & Fri.

"Yes, I anticipate a budget cut, but I hope my instincts are wrong," said Leon Lessinger of the Department of Education. "Aside from inflation, we have to deal with a declined enrollment." Lessinger looks for a leveling off in lieu of a cut. "We may need to reassign personnel and shift our resources." O.F. Schuette, head of the Department of Physics and Astrnnnmv said "RuHitot outs arp harder to deal with later in the year. If a cut comes to my department, I hope different areas will be cut than the ones cut before." "This is a problem everyone eventually will have to face," Schuette said. "We just have to look at what's been spent and what is left." From Page 2 director. The students participating in the honors program want individual professors who structure the course, an individual who is interested in the course he is teaching, and a teacher who gets involved with his class. Honor students usually are more willing to give of their time to a demanding professor than the average student. Honor students want a class to be flexible, not taught like a regimented class. "The faculty members who teach the honor students have done exceptionally well," said Sederberg. "I expect our evaluation system to be more effective next semester," he added. ifWHliii ] JSC Campus j ^ST Delivery o Midnight >2-7383 l Closed ^^^^^Thanksgivingl [ Gran I a Fren j Reg. $1.64 | Special aOffer good with coup* 2 Nov. 27 !> 1 acto^~T~I !i <?V> you graduate within the ne: me to apply for Peace Corps ISTA assignments in the U.S ith degrees in math, science srvices, health fields, law at et an application from the 1 ! ?sign up for an interview.
