Twenty-three student organizations will
get less money next year and 18 will get
more, according to budget figures released
by the Student Allocations Commission.
OF THE 54 organizations applying for
SAC allocations. th?? Rur?*?11 Hnnoo
University Union suffered the largest cut in
its initial budget. This year's allocation for
the union was $143,673, whereas, next year's
allocation will be $115,969.
Pun Nio, president of the union, said the
union had hoped to receive more funds for
next year. "We were very disappointed with
the outcome of this year's budget," she said.
The union, she said, serves more than
131,000 persons. This alone, she said,

Most USC students engage in sexual
intercourse at least once a month, but
about half use birth control methods, according
to a Gamecock survey.
WHEN 306 randomly selected students
were asked if they engaged in sexual intercourse
in the past year and how often
each month, 222, or 83.7 per cent of the
respondents, said they engaged in sexual
intercourse, and 41 students declined to
answer. Those who engage in sexual intercourse

20.9 per cent of students asked,andsevenor
more times a month account for 23.6 per
cent of the total. Thirty-seven students
responded "never" to the question.
Males engage in sexual intercourse
more often than females at USC, the
survey indicates, with six men and 31
women saying they never engage in sexual
intercourse. The "at least seven times a
month" category accounted for 29.1 per
cent of the males and 15.8 per cent of the
i females.

In addition to the allocations decrease, the
union's outside revenues, which includes
income from concerts and other pay events,
were limited to $43,993 next year. The union
got $82,402 this year.

The union doesn't intend to appeal the
budget to SAC now. Over the summer, the
union will evaluate its finances, she said. "If
we do need more funds, we'll go through the
proper channels. It's a lot of money that
we've been cut, though," she said.
The major effect on students, she said,
will be a reduction in programs' sizes next

At least 65 per cent of all classes, freshman
to graduate students, said they
engage in sexual intercourse, with freshmen
the highest, 72.9 per cent, and seniors
the least, 65.8 per cent. Juniors were
highest in the mid-frequency categories,
two to four and five to seven times a
month, with 32.8 per cent of the total.
Freshman and seniors said "never" to the
question more often than other classes.

Sue Ann Roughton said fewer in-coming
students next year necessitates a tighter
budget. The USC budget office issues a
projection on the number of students expected
to enroll at USC each year and next
year's projection is lower than this year.

We had about three times as many requests
for increases as we had money," Houghton
said.
Before SAC works out organizational
budgets, it takes from the total budget 5 per
cent for their own contingency purposes and
11 per cent for student government. Then it
allocated the rest to various organizations.

According to SAC guidelines, $15 is taken
from each student's activity fee for use by
the allocations committee. Then the committee
appropriates the funds at its
discretion.
Dave Aughtry, president of the Student
Bar Association, said his organization
hasn't received its budget yet. However, the
SAC figures show that the bar got a $4,669
increase for next year. Aughtry attributed
this to the bar's presentation of its budget
request. He said SBA didn't inflate its
budget estimate. Organizations normally
"bloat their budgets by about 20 per cent,"
he said. "We took the straight-forward
approach. I was afraid SAC would penalize
us for our honesty," he said.
