The senate finance committee voted to deny funding for the New
Crucible and most Russell House University Union organizations after
formal appeals hearings Monday, which will be debated in the student
senate today.
rne committee voted to aeny me appeal Dy tne New ^ rucioie sian ior
funding after the magazine's budget was eliminated by the Student
Allocations Commission but the magazine plans to appeal in the fall.
Appeals denied this spring are eligible to be filed again in the fall for reconsideration.
New Crucible editors for 1980-81, Sara jane Freleigh and Clisby
Williams, said the New Crucible will be offered free next year and
depend more on advertisements than student sales if their $22,000
reauest is aDDroved this fall. Thev contended the magazine didn't have
time to develop an audience with the first three editions as a "slick"
magazine and needed more time to be accepted by the USC student
body.
FRELEIGII SAII) SHE was disappointed that the finance committee
was not more prepared to hear budget hearings.
"I didn't think they knew any more about it than SAC did," she said.
"If you're going to be responsible for student money, you better know
what you're doing. They don't know anything about the magazine."
The finance committee also denied Cinematic Arts' request for an
additional $12,269 Chairperson Missy Price and ex-chairperson Kenny
Paluch appeared before the committee in an attempt to convince the
members to allocate more funding.
Finance committee member Dorothy Stefan asked Price and Paluch
how Cinematic Arts afforded the full page ad run in last week's
Gamecock. Price said extra funds were obtained in the publicity budget
when the movie calendar was delivered late by the printer at a reduced
price.
"I'm not arguing for this year's budget, I'm arguing for next year,"
Price said in reference to the ad. 44In essence we were trying to get the
student body involved with what was going on. I don't think they're
apathetic."
Price contended Cinematic Arts needs additional funds to expanc
services to students, despite an expected price hike of 50 cents on pa)
films next year.
WUSC-FM WAS denied $10,000 in extra allocations to buy equipment
With a planned expansion to 3000 watts next year, station manager Ror
Marsh said WUSC needed the equipment to become a "force in the radic
community."
The station's original allocation was $34,735, but the finance com
mittee voted down the $10,000 appeal, because it felt the equipment was
not necessary for the station to increase in power.
Trips and Expeditions, which requested an additional $6,02(
originally but revised the request to $3,020, was also denied. The Trips
and Expeditions budget is designed to break even at $44,658, with an>
extra money returning to the finance committee for redistributior
among other organizations.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was
funded $530 by the finance committee, although they were not funded b>
SAC. Treasurer Wilbur Tucker Jr. asked for an allocation of $3,609 tc
