Horseshoe >* Holderman: tuition increase a possibility By John Braun While speculating on how the university will cope with a $4.6 million cut in state funding for the next fiscal year, USC President James Holderman said Wednesday that university officials are "giving serious attention to the possibility of a relatively small tuition increase." At a student media press conference, Holderman said he did not know how much the increase will be, but added, "In another week I'll have a better feel for what that tuition requirement might be." Holderman said the state appropriated USC about $100 million last year. Cutting expenditures 5 percent would be difficult because 80 to 85 percent of the USC budget goes to salaries, Holderman said. "You can't let people go in midyear," he said. "You've got a tenure situation; you've cot n placcifipH nprcnnnpl cifnatinn whinli D" ~ I ~ "'"vi. requires that you keep them.'' Holderman said past budget cuts have hurt all areas of the university, but particularly the College of Engineering, which has found hiring faculty almost impossible.

Sellout for Geo By Jeff Draine This week's football game against the i i _ -t * T ? ii.. nationally ranKea university ui urcuigia Bulldogs is sold out of student and general public tickets. But the first sellout of the season has brought to light problems with student ticket distribution procedures.

There were about 15,(MX) student tickets distributed for the game, a large number when considering that there are about 15,50(J fee-paying students on the Carolina campus, Goodman said. Goodman went on to point out that studen ticket validations are extremely high foi this game. In the first two days, more thai very staggering statistic." Holderman listed engineering, science, business and nursing as "higher priorities" for funding, because demand for graduates in the field is greater. Despite the recession, USC has increased research grants and contracts from private sources from $6 to $7 million annually 10 ti/xnxn A ww 4^ d 111! *1- ' - ycma iu ytv iuuiiuii mis year. Only 50 percent of USC's income comes from the state, as opposed to 75 percent several years ago, Holderman said. He said he was worried that the recession might make inroads into many of the university's recent gains. "It's extremely important that Carolina's momentum not be interrupted," he said. Holderman also defended the university's efforts in trying to close Greene Street. 4'We've done everything conceivable to persuade the officials at the City Council to seriously consider the closing of Greene Street." He said the university has offered to beautify the street into a mall, install gates, investigate Pendleton Street as an alternative traffic artery and do further traffic studies, but "reasonable men do sometimes !|?

In the first three games, total validations were about 400 or 500. On the subject of student IDs, Goodman said he is concerned about the ease by which a student can get a new ID. "In these first few weeks, there have been over 500 IDs duplicated. I find it hard to believe that over 125 students have lost their ID each of these first ft?w woeks." Several unidentified students said they have found a way to use duplicated IDs to help former USC students get into games. In the plan, the former student's friend, someone who is still a USC student, gets a duplicate of his ID, then uses the validation sticker to make the former student's outdated ID appear validated. Goodman claimed that the ID duplication t rate is five or six times as high during r football season than during the spring 1 semester. Kaye Dickey, a registration disagree on that kind of thing," he said. "I think-I'm optimistic--that...a much more extended closing will emerge from the next council meeting,"he said, adding thai an agreement to open the street from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Fridaj as well as all day Sunday, mav ho "thp hpst wp ran Hn nnHpr th#? nir cumstances." Holderman also said the university may construct an arts center near the Coliseum. The center, which would be financed privately, would also house the Movietonews collection. "We've got to do something about Movietonews...we will be starting to get it in by the truckload, and we won't have any place to put it," he said. The films are now being stored in the USC library, and Holdf?rman said an a^rppmpnt mnv hp reached to store some of the films in the bunkers at Fort Jackson. "That's a great treasure for the university," Holderman said of the collection, "and I'm astonished sometimes at the shortsightedness of people...who want to see us turn it back, not accept it (because of lack of a storage facility)." )onie shares cul1 He was susni ent nine months living with figured he could tg for Rev.
