Vice-President Martin Grenzebach said his company, John Grenzebach and Associates, has been hired by the USC Educational Foundation to study the I feasibility of a fund raising campaign at USC. He said the study is in the information gathering stage and that when it is completed, the firm will present a statement identifying and defining what the institution wants to raise money for. !. THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION is a private, chartered group that raises money for the university.

The university is contracted with the firm for nine weeks, but v. ill be billed on a per week basis if the study takes less than nine weeks. No one would say how much the study will cost.

Keel said the university has not had much experience raising money in the private sector. "It used to be that the only fund raising in the private sector went for a capital campaign for a specific program," he said. KEEL SAID THAT colleges and even specific programs at USC have traditionally done fund raising in the private sector on their own. "We are talking about coordinating the fund raising efforts of the entire university instead of having each school or college doing fund raising on its own." Keel said he did not think the concept of a fund raising drive in the private sector was tied to the universities problems in getting money from the state for the proposed John Parne/I pays cashier Terri Sadler i vill be going up 8 percent in the fall.

The timing of a fund drive to make sure nothing would be wrong with respect to the local economy and with respect to competition from other area schools.
