SAC refuses funds
for needed media
By James K. Minichello
journalism sophomore
I'll lay my cards right on the table. Not only was I quite disturbe
about the Student's Allocation Committee not providing any funds fc
the New Crucible, but I'd have to say I'm a bit irate over the fact th?
they are cutting the budgets of UCS's other branches of the media a
well the Gamecock, the Garnet and Black, and WUSC-FM.
When it comes to the bottom line Mr. SAC, doesn't The Gamecoc
serve ALL of the students? Doesn't the Garnet and Black serve ALL (
the students? Doesn't WUSC-FM serve ALL of the students?
In essence, these branches of the student media are of the fe^
organizations who play a vital role because the entire student body i
affected by them. That is much more than a few other organization
can say.
I FIND IT absurd, that part of the grand that I've sweat and slave
for, to attend college will now be allocated for some jabone to toss
frisbee around.
Just think, mavhp npvt spr.ipstpr I'll hrino mv Uni Whonlc i n
, j " "V VV..VVHV
down here and start a Drag Racing organization. I have nothing to lose
SAC will put us on a budget.
If that doesn't work I'll get my Dad's horseshoe collection, and tr
that on for size there's enough country clubs on Long Island to put U]
with.
AT A RECENT SPJ/SDX (Society of Professional Journalists
award's convention in Atlanta, the Gamecock captured an impressiv<
second place for all-around student newspaper. This must tell yoi
something Mr. SAC. If things continue on the same track, the paper wil
shrivel to a mere two or three issues a month, of just an "announcemen
sheet." I hope I'm not around if that happens.
WUSC-FM is trying to increase its power to a 3,000 watt station foi
next semester. Do you mean to tell me Mr. SAC you've got the throb
bing gall to prevent that?
I urge my fellow journalism majors to take some sort of action. SAC
knocked off the New Crucible.Who will be next? It's not hard to rear
between the lines. SAC wouldn't give the time of day to USC studen
media
USC's policies
display irony
By Jack Kendree Jr.
business administration graduate student
A few thoughts on the administration of USC:
THEY BUY an obsolete computer, but don't use it to generate
random number room draw, by class. The result? A free for all whic
penalizes the civilized in our midst.
They spend our money on college events, vet comDromise th
beneficial results by enabling outsider riff-raff to attend. The result
Fights, stabbings, a shooting and so on.
THEY ISSUE innumberable parking permits and provide insufficier
space. The result? A bumper crop of ticket revenue which worh
against positive change. Meanwhile, the garages sound like auto pai
franchises for local hoods.
On the good side, the price is right- but I hear it's going up thi
summer, the faculiy and the local economy are excellent and th
overall student attitude is good. Things can always get better.

it would be impossible for us to cover all sides of
every issue. It is not our purpose to pass judgment on
the beliefs of our speakers, only to serve as a forum
for speakers whom the students would like to hear.
If SAC members, or any students, feel that their
interests are not being served, we are sorry. Ideas
and Issues would welcome suggestions from interested
students, but we ask that you keep in mind
our severe budget limitations. !
We meet at 7 p.m. in the Student Activities Office

This semester, we have continued to bring varied
it speakers. Louise Lasser, star of Mary Hartman,
>s Mary Hartman, and Dave Kopay, ex-football player
rt and gay rights activist have spoken to USC students.
, I?
u&u is a large institution whose students have
varied interests, but we have tried to bring speakers
from many different areas so that the needs of a large
number of students can be met. We feel that we Have
been successful.
We began the year with Keith Stroup of NORML,
who discussed the legalization of marijuana, an issue
of vital importance to many students. We also
brought playwright Edward Albee, jazz critic
Leonard Feather, and political activist Midge
/1 A.
The Ideas and Issues Committee of the Russell
House University Union has received more than its
fair share of criticism lately. We would like to get
credit for those things that we have done.
We are about to lose a great deal of funding for next
year because some people feel that we are not
programming for the students as a whole.
