Nov. 12,1 980 USChousii By Tom Coyne Staff Writer USC housing costs will increase 11 percent next fall if the ~ C i ? * i vuai w ui u usiws approves lvionaay s recommendation of the Student-Trustee Liaison Committee. If the increase is approved, housing costs will have risen 46.9 percent in four years. The Residential Life Services Office says the increase is necessary because of increased operating osts. The office expects a 10 percent increase in utility co&ts, a 15 percent increase in telephone rates, a 9 percent increase in salary expenses and a 10 percent increase in supply costs and other RICHARD WERTZ, associate vice president for residential life services, said the 11 percent increase will not pay for permanent improvements. He said maintenance and renovation projects will be delayed until the housing reserve is large enough to support them. The housing reserve is used to pay for renovations and maintenance and also serves as a contingency fund to cover unexpecting operating costs. A rpruirt Worf7 ?-?? ?

Wertz said Hesidential Life Service will have to request an additional 5 percent increase in housing costs soon to help rebuild the reserve, but added that he did not want to request it this year because students already face a large increase.

Floyd also questioned why Southern Bell had to raise rates when it is planning to install a computer system to save money. USC President James Holderman said the savings from the new system wouldn't be passed on to USC for months. ALSO AT Monday's meeting, Student Government complained to the committee that the Athletic Department is not following university procedures for cheerleader selection. The student senate passed a bill dealing with the selection of cheerleaders, and it was signed by Holderman, making it university oolicv. Assistant Athletic Director John Moore said the athletic department was unaware of the bill when this year's cheerleaders were selected. Student Government President Larry Kellner said the senate wanted to achieve three goals. "We want to standardize the application. We want the procedure they use on file. And we want the procedure attached to the application." "It is not our intention to dictate," Floyd said. "Our problem is the relationship was not handled very smoothly ." The committee also approved the Code of Student Academic Resj risibility with one addition, The student senate recommended that an hontfr code be added. Under the honor code, any student who sees another student break a rule and does not report it will be subject to the same penalty. ills glimpse 'fascinating ' By Tom Coyne them, I felt like they weren't stu(? wrimr holding back at all," Kellner said.

If the chairman of the university union did not work closely with the president of the university, he couldn't get anything done. "It is similar here, but we have the media to work with here," he said. "They have a student newspaper, and it's not censored, but I got the impression that they were under constant fear of reprisal." Kellner said the Chinese were very interested in U S elections.
