Budget , O From page 1 problem now facing the Ways and "Means committee is that of balancing it. This process would ' equire reducing some programs budgets. "The university is op' imistic that its request will not be educed in that the Ways and Means committee on their first 'pvipw vntoH iL-1 - . vwu uiiaiiimuusiy II1UI 1 SC's budget request be funded in otal," he said. Holderman said the money approved is "really a little more Mian the ^Commission on Higher Kducation recommended. But this still leaves us with a $1.8 million 'eficit. We'll just eat that out of our perations cost somehow," he said. "IT'S GOING to be tight, but we ; an do it if we get everything we sk for," he said. A $13,889,331 increase in personal crvices cost from fiscal year 1974"5 was due to an 11 percent in rease in enrollment and manlated salary increases. Holderman said with the consumer price index factor (an rconomic equation which gives the change in dollar purchasing power year to year), USC spends $97 less per student than in 1973. Compounding this loss of funds because of inflation, Holderman ^aid state actions have further decreased the available dollars by <ome $9,256,004.

OTHER UNIVERSITIES and colleges within the state have also realized state reductions, he said. "Some of the major cuts have been nue to the economic crunch we experienced in '74 and '75." Daetwyler said success in getling 100 percent funding and the unanimous support of the Ways and Means Committee this year was due to the university's unified budget approach. "All the nine campuses are being presented as one budget," he said. "In prior years the university's Columbia campus was treated as a separate request. The three four-year i :tmniICPC A1 lror? PaooJoI i >invii| V/UdOldl CI IIU Spartanburg were each treated as separate budget requests. "The five two-year campuses wore lumped together in a separate budget request. President M??lderman's bringing all these budgets together into one university budget has undoub^ably heen the key to success," Daetwyler said. Rep. Bill Campbell, D-Richland, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said, "Holderman did an excellent job in letting those persons in control of i ne money know what USC's needs are.

HE ADDED, "Vice president Daetwyler did an excellent job in presenting the university's case to ns.
