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

wanted to put everything at a level
where it can stay there for a few
years," he said.
Under this policy, the WUSC

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. '

SAC func

MJOO increase in his salary be
liverted to two assistant editors on
Jie Garnet and Black. The senate
efused, keeping the Garnet and
Slack editor's salary for next year
n line with the policy of each
)rganization head receiving the
same stipend.
l ne gamecock received a senate
inance committee increase of
^1,700 in the SAC allocated
?10,375 According to Tom
rravis, Gamecock editor for 1979J0,
the Gamecock appealed for
stipend increases for fiscal year
1979-80.
"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.
