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

comparatively, the center is
more economical than private
institutions and has most facilities
common to large universities.
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.

Seamus O1 Boyle gave the first
"state of the university" address
ever to the Student Senate Wednesday.
"We've got to work together to
get things done," he said. "Without
the administration and students,
we can't get anything done." n
O'BOYLE warned the senate not **
to let their egos get in the way of
their work. "The only way people

USC President James B.
Holderman also addressed the
senate and said he strongly
believes in communication with
student leadership.
"I THINK fflrnlinA has hnrl n
good year, and this one can be a
great year. 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.
Holderman stressed the importance
of the nine campuses
pulling together to stand before the
legislature and the importance of
not hiding the good things
Carolina has done and is doing.
