Student Senate passed a $2,790 appropriations

viuvui iiiut'iii elections.
Budgeted expenses include poll workers'
salaries, publicity, computer printouts,
forms and supplies. Fifty-five poll workers
will be hired at $2 an hour for 20 hours, for a
total expense of $2,200.
"We are using approximately the same
figures as last year. Taking into account
inflation, I would say it is less than last
year's expenses," said Dorothy Stefan,
Finance Committee chairman.
STUDENTS may file to run for a Student
Government position from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
Feb. 3-9 in the Student Government office.
The filing fee is $2 for senators and $12 for
constitutional officers.
The general election will be March 12 and
the run-off will be March 17. Polls will be
open from 9a.m. too p.m.
The Finance Committee will meet Feb. 1315
to discuss the Student Government
1 budget. During the three days of meetings
the committee will decide to either increase
student activity fees or use a priority
method of budgeting.
"I'm against increasing the student activity
fees," Stefan said. "1 on't think
students should be paying any more money
than they are now," she said.
Budget hearings will begin after the
committee sessions.

Yugoslavia and the United States would both
benefit from defensive cooperation in the
interest of peace.
Loncar, speaking to a group of faculty,
students and community leaders said, "In all
J major tasks both peoples have stood together.
American citizens and citizens of different

in the liberation of both countries."
Loncar, former ambassador to Indonesia
and to the Federal Republic of Germany,
also spoke of Yugoslavia's domestic policies.
He said his country's economic development
focuses on comprehensive development and

$4.7 million budget cut required by the state
Budget and Control Board. Stefan suggested
that USC students be on record as supporting
full formula funding for state institutions
of higher education.
The state Budget and Control Board has
accepted only 88 percent of the Commission
on Higher Education's recommended
budget for USC. In accordance with the cut,
USC would have to reduce enrollment by 25
percent and faculty by 350.
"Out of 350 faculty positions, 220 are
women and blacks," Stefan said. "What we

"The economic impact of USC on
Columbia is $4 million. It's a large enough
amount that the least the state can do is to
help out," Stefan said. She said state
government should concentrate on more
lucrative budgets and not on higher
education.
THE SENATE also passed a bill by the
Advisory Committee on Residence Life
proposing several amendments concerning
residence hall life. "The amendments were
made because they were out of date, and
they needed to be brought up to date in
accordance with current policies," said
Mike Doherty, committee chairman.
Many of the rules were several years old
and were not compatible with what really
goes on at USC," Doherty said. All changes
