Although the cost of a college
education is rising dramatically,
USC students should realize their
education is becoming more of a
bargain everyday.
The average cost to a South
Carolina resident for the first year
of college is about $2,400. For an
out-of-state student, the figure is
almost $1,000 more.
THE DIFFERENCE in the
amounts is attributed to the tuition
or academic fee. South
Carolinians pay $732 as opposed to
for nnn-rftsirfpnts
Bernard Deatwyler, system vice
president of business and finance,
noted the difference as being a
necessity in order to be fair to the
taxpayers of the state.
"The state subsidizes the school
$2,827 for every stucent that's on
the Columbia campus," he said.
The school uses the increased fee
to make the non-resident less of a
hnrHpn tn fhp tf&vnavAi*
THE TUITION is divided into
three areas after it is collected by
the school.
Bond debt services receives $255
and$505 respectively for residents
and non-residents which goes to
pay off the bonds sold to erect
buildings on campus. This includes
any structure other than a
residence hall or parking facility.
?1 A. !l! ?
oiuueiu activities receive *133
per student regardless of
residency.
The balance, $344 for residents
and $1,054 for non-residents, is
directed to the university budget.
It is combined with stateappropriated
funds and some
miscellaneous sources of revenue.

"Housing is self-supporting, so it
cannot operate in the red,*'
Deatwyler said. Since there is no
state subsidy, there is no. need to
charge different rates as some
universities do, he said.
The university does not try to
make a profit in these areas
(housing, parking, food services
and bookstore), "but you have to

RUSSELL HOUSE University
Union receives the largest percentage
of the general interest
funds. The union offers movies,
concerts, fine art programs, trips
and also provides the Travel Center
and Bell Camp for students.
All groups wishing to receive
funding for the following year must
submit a budget to SAC. The group
is interviewed at a SAC meeting
cmiu uicu, 11 ap|iiuvcu, id i cvuinmended
to student government.
They, in turn approve it and send it
to President Holderman for the
final decision.
"All dues and revenues (of
groups funded by SAC) must go
into the treasure's office/' Bostick
said. When making up a budget, a
group requests the amount they
believe they will need for the year.
SAC allocates that amount if ap
j 1 A ? a! A At a
proved, uui estimates uie amount
of revenue and dues the group will
receive throughout the semester.
This amount must be given back to
the treasurer's office in order to
balance the budget, Bostick said.
A GENERAL interest group
never actually handles the money
allocated to them. They use
[luiuinoc uiucis which mv sail
back to the university and paid out
of the budget. See SAC, page 5
