This Fees From Page 4 The standard $133 given to student activities goes toward maintenance of the Student Health Center, Inercollegiate Athletics and Club Sports as well as other areas. Health ratei By Brian Turner Oamtcock Staff Writer USC's Thompson Student Health Center has not raised student tees since 1974, and does not have any price increases scheduled, according to business manager Warren Carothers. In December 1974, the USC Board of Trustees allotted the center $35 per student per semester from student fees, and it has not changed that figure since. ACCORDING TO Carothers, however, the center is losing between $70,000 and $80,000 a year because of inflation and increased labor costs. "This leaves a decision between a cutback in i ^ i i? ? scrvicc or a raise in prices," ne said. "We are beginning to look at where we go from here, but the final choice is purely an administrative decision." Carothers is optimistic about the coming year, partly because the center is now under the jurisdiction of the Department of Family Medicine within the USC School of Medicine. Previously, health services were operated under the i Division nf Student Affairs ! 4 The change will give us a closer working relationship with other schools. Starting October 1, the hew nursing director at the center will be on the faculty of the nursing school," he said, "and the pathologist and pharmacist who consult for the center are in the med school." "THE CHANGE conlrf h*ln cost effectiveness," Carothers said, claiming these changes will benefit the students. The realignment of departments came because USC President James B.

Car others said. "We have a psychiatrist, and we are one of the few Southeastern schools that have a gynecologist," Carothers said. 4'We also have an adequate number of doctors for the services we provide, and they can treat anything we are equipped for," he said. THE HEALTH CENTER, which does not include a surgical facility, is almost entirely an out-patient clinic handling 45,000 visits last year alone. Thompson does have 27 beds for in-patient care, averaging about 10 full beds at any given time, Carothers said. Inpatients are charged only for meals at the center. The student health center operates a pharmacy also. "Just about any prescription necessary for the university age group is available," Carothers said. 1 14110?rvc Is St. 1 Ne I 11-1:15 ft 4:45-4:9# | ^ mi vpO1 ffi Trout Almond in e p| Cole Slaw |?| French Fries Hush| Featured Si SOUTHERN WOn To Talk With Som< Problem Pregnancy Abortion Counselin Pregnancy Testing * Family Planning & B * Trained Counselors * Speakers for Schoo "Confident With Someon 254-4 call toll free in I TOOAVil VJT/ 24-Hour Ansi + 1614 Tin iii 7i \TTm i'v*^Y'Ml ^HHii nT fflBI fpfc>. -. - k3&gmx<,. <. /\4Ti * a u j*oyie ad By Jan Easterllng Game cock Staff Writer Student Government President Seamus O1 Boyle gave the first "state of the university" address ever to the Student Senate Wednesday.

We are going to ask (the legislature) for about as much as we did last year and that will blow their minds over there," he said. The university has been told to submit a budget of five percent less than last year, he said.
