bBmiBb r> ^en By Barnard Slnkler Qam?cock Staff Writer Six of seven student organizations received a total increase of $5,650 after appeals of Student Allocations Commission, SAC, funding before a special session of the Student Senate Monday. Representatives of WUSC, the Gamecock, the Garnet and Black, Government and International Studies, GINT, Graduate Student Organization and GINT Un dergraduate Student Organization appealed for general budget increases and received a "one time increase" from the Senate Finance Committee to supplement the SAC allocations. The Russell House University Union received a $350 budget increase although no representative from thf? lininn was nrp?pnt to argue on its behalf. The Clariosophic Society was the only appealing organization that did not receive any budget increases from the Senate Finance Committee. Sen. Robert Stein, Business Administration, Senate Finance Committee chairman, said the one time increase came from unallocated SAC money from this past year. "We did not cut any organization in any way," he said. According to Stein, "one time increase" means the finance committee is to bring the heads of certain stuoent organizations to fl>a cnmA wiv aaiuc dlipCIlU 1CVC1. HC JUdt wanted to put everything at a level where it can stay there for a few years," he said. Under this policy, the WUSC iumni,iiipiiMji ate raises' station manager, the Gamecock i editor, the Garnet and Black J editor-in-chief, and the University c Union President will all receive t $2,100 salary for 1979-80. l WUSC received an increase of 1 $1900 to their 1979-80 budget of i $32,771 from the Senate Finance < Committee, the largest increase of j the six organizations receiving increases. 1 Jane Witten, WUSC station S manager, said, "I'm disappointed 5 with the lack of understanding of our need as indicated by the senate f process." ; WUSC had asked for stipends 1 totaling $100 a semester for about 60 of its employees who < receive nothing for their work. \ According to Witten, that would ( average to about $5 per person. SAC approved funds for only nine F of the 13 WUSC staff positions and J the senate approved increases in ( only four of them. \ The Garnet and Black received a s $1,200 increase of their SAC i allocated $31,465.

"I'm satisfied the finance committee has worked hard to provide adequate salaries for jamecock editors," he said. It was a mistake for the Senate 'inance Committee to take the Student Media Office (the jamecock, the Garnet and Black, kVUSC) as a whole when considering budget increases and allocations, Travis said.
