take this opportunity to give
a few instructions to speec
up the process of entering

2. Let each person hole
his/her own ticket and ID.
3. If you forgot your ID go ti

i here by residents. Georgia,
UNC, N.C. State, and Tennessee
pay lower tuitions
with the figures being $900,
$586, $582 and $558 respectively.
The Tennessee figure
was based on last years
figure while the rest are
based on this year.
The reason for this is that
; USC receives the lowest
I appropriation per student
irom tne state in tne
Southeast. In 1978-79, USC
? received $3,073 per
[ student. This is $700 lower
t than the next lowest figure
which is Maryland: thev
received $3,732. So Maryland
. receives 17.7 percent more
than USC. Georgia is next
with $4,117 which is 25.4
percent more than USC's
state allocation. Then comes
N.C. state with the figures
being $4,420 or 30,5 percent,
then Tennessee with $4,468
! or 31.2 percent, then UNC
I with $4,569 or 32.7 percent
, and finally Virginia with
I $5,274 or 41.7 percent.
