Lack of fun< ISC progran By James Hale Gamecock Staff Writer Instructional Services may eliminate about 25 part-time and student positions next week because of a lack of funds. Jerry Keeter, director of USC Instructional Services Center, which is responsible for the audiovisual material needed at the university, said the cut back is in not knowing the department's fiscal budget for this year. No one at the university knew their budget until this past week, and ISC has been spending according to the past year's budget and expected increases, Keeter said. Keeter said he did not expect to receive all he requested and was expecting the need to cut back. "I J! _1 A. 1! _! A- it A 1 1 am noi anticipate mat we wouia have to cut back so drastically." He said the problem is aggravated by the lack of state and federal grants the department usually receives. ISC HAS BEEN working on _ projects and with the lack of money, the only recourse is to eliminate the outstanding debt which is employees, Keeter said. Part-time and nonwork-study student personnel would have to be eliminated because they are not entitled to the job security of regular state employees, Keeter added. Work-study students will not be affected by the cutback because only 20 percent of the work-study salaries comes from ISC's budget, while the other 80 percent is paid by financial aid, he said. Keeter said those affected by the cut back were informed of the problem last week. A ? A - A _ _ A* a management sian meeung is scheduled for 9 a.m. today, and the staff will try to maintain some of these people by cancelling orders and cutting back . elsewhere. Keeter said his goal is to salvage is named ation dean "WE ARE LOOKING forward to u _?: j _i 1 uavuig lapiu cnanges anu progress in improving the quality of the college," Borkowski said. Mulhern is "a foremost leader in education" who will greatly enhance the colleges future in providing high quality instruction to serve the state's educational standards, he added. When Borkowski called the provost of EMU to inform him that USC was interested in Mulhern for the post, the provost said he would make every effort to keep Mulhern ai niMU. BorKowski told the EMU provost that USC would make every effort to stay one step ahead of him in their pursuit of Mulhern for the position. "We are very fortunate to have him here at USC," Borkowski said. "I am looking very much forward to coming to South Carolina and working with the faculty in the C!nll#?af? nf RHiipatinn and hplnina 0~ ? -.v-.K?.f, the educational needs of school districts, teachers and children as well as the people of South Carolina," Mulhern said. Mulhern received a B.A. in economics and philosophy from Boston College, a M.A. in curriculum and instruction from Massachusetts State University and a Ph.D. in education from the University of Wisconsin. Mulhern has taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Marquette ITni v#?rcitv nirlnhnmn State ? -J , University, Boston College and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. is may force i eliminations two or three temporary positions. All those affected will be notified this week. n a v w 1 J: J A. I iyejJCj i aniu ne uiu nut kiiow how extensive the job elimination will affect ISC. Four or five people make up the audio department of ISC, and after the cut back these positions will be eliminated leaving them without any audio producers to do the television work, he said. ISC has been producing 150 hours of television programming a week. Keeter said he probably will not be able to fill these positions with additional work-study employees because of ISO's limited workstudy budget and the inability to find work-study employees with the technical skill needed to perform the duties. Janet Pardo, a student closecircuit director for ISC and one of the employees possibly affected by the cut backs, said she is confident she will keep her job next semester. She said she has See Services. Mae 5 The GAMECOCK l? the student newspaper of the University of Sooth Carolina end la published three times week on Mondays.

By Leroy Williams | Gamecock Staff Writer A USC student said he found four nativity scene figures, apparently those stolen from the Tremont Motor Inn Thursday night, in front of Legare College on the Horseshoe Friday morning. George Wiggins, a Horseshoe resident, said he noticed the figures as he was going to do his laundry. "1 knew they weren't university property," he added. [ Wiggins said he talked to Horseshoe resident adviser Randy Hoggle, who knew the statues were there before Wiggins arrived. me he had been phoning motels," Wiggins said. Wiggins 1 \ CI LIVl ly said Hoggle called six motels, asking each if they were missing some nativity statues before finding out the Tremont Inn was missing four of them. SCGFIC ..HE (HOGGLE) told the manager of the Tremont that the statues were here at the university, and that he could come over and pick -ft sir* them up," Wiggins said. Alan Rose, the manager of the Tremont, said someone from the I university notified him that his statues were at the university. "I had - to go and get them from the Horseshoe, "he added. j Cf/l l&Yl I*ose sai(* figures of the Virgin Mary, Joseph, a~ shepherd and a * lamb were stolen from the front of the motel. Rose said the entire scene consisted of 15 statues. j THE STATUES, which are worth "$75 or better" apiece, weigh j j anywhere from 50 to 250 pounds each, Rose said. "The donkey figure was tipped over, which is probably the heaviest," Rose said. A camel was also moved. j Rose described the scene, which was made about 25 years ago, as HI upia^ccsuic. , j Wiggins said the Horseshoe sponsored a contest for the best Christmas decorated tenement on the Horseshoe, but he didn't know t if the stolen nativity statues had any connection with the contest. Last year, three sheep were stolen from the holiday display, but Rose did not press charges. "I will press charges this time against whoever stole them," Rose said.
