However, The SG Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Wilsford spent more than his $200 contingency fund allowed. THE SUPREME COURT ruled Wilsford could spend up to $200 of his contingency funds, but money more than that amount had to have senate approval. The court ruled Wilsford could not itemize each article per trip to be under $200. On his Texas trip Wilsford spent $237. The case stemmed from a trio to Washington, D. C. which Wilsford and Colleen Perry, his administrative assistant, had planned to make on contingency funds. Wilsford is in Washington now, using $200 of contingency funds and paying other expenses out of his pocket. "Since no one contested Wilsford at the time he took the money, he cannot be charged for it now," Plus-gradinj By JAN EASTERLING Gamecock Staff Writer A bill that would restore the plus-s; has been approved bv the Senate / mittee, passed by Student Senate, a Wilsford, student government presid< The new grading system would not of A plus or F plus, but would give s jllll Philoso] Sentenei Law I 8:001 rerspent on Wilsford Larry Hudson, supreme court justice said.

Wilsford figured each item in the trip to be less than $200. "We had decided at the outset of our administration that we were not going to budget any money for trips that usually turned out to be worthless," Gerald Mosley, SG vice president, said. "We wanted the praise of the students this year, and we wanted them to know that we were planning to conserve this year. Everybody was talking about conserving, and Wilsford was, too." Sen. Ron Birnbaum said, "I am in the process of trying to get an injunction passed to have Wilsford's funds impounded for the time until the senate can sit down and work on the statutes and stipulations concerning the president's funds."
