Included in the package, which will cut $1.9 million from the Columbia campus alone, is the phaseout of the associate degree programs in nursing and office administration. The cuts, which will take effect in July if approved by the board, are designed to trim the budget deficit for next year from $13 million to $10 million. Because most of the university budget goes for salaries, the package includes eliminating 87 faculty and staff positions. THE PHASEOUT of undergraduate programs in the College of Education is Dart of a statewide plan to improve student instruction in public schools, according to university sources. Following the lead of schools such as Purdue University, USC plans to upgrade its Master's of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program and eliminate the undergraduate teaching programs. i inside The state Budget and Control Board's recommendation that the General Assembly not authorize higher education capital improvement bonds next year may not affect USC.

The move is expected to save about $400,000 in 1983-84. USC will not renew the contracts of 16 non-tenured faculty members next year if the measure Dasses. The associate degree nursing program is being eliminated because funding for the program was redirected to Midlands TEC for its nursing program. As a result, USC has decided to concentrate on its baccalaureate and master's degree programs, snnrpps snv THE ELIMINATION will save $200,000 next year as USC will not renew the contracts of 10 non-tenured faculty members in the nursing school. After speaking out strongly against the Commission on Higher Education's October proposal that two-year programs in the College of Applied Professional Sciences be phased out, USC officials have decided to recommend phasing out one of the programs themselves. Sources say the college is shifting toward a baccalaureate emphasis and the two-year office management nroeram rnulri hp "prudently phased out" because the college has a four-year office management program. The cut is expected to save about $200,000. Five non-tenured faculty members' contracts will not be renewed if the measure passes.

Morrison signed a five-vear contract with USC for $60,000 a year. "We made a commitment to our football t team to hire a proven head coach," Marcum j said. "Joe Morrison was a proven football * player and is a proven head coach. While J playing for the New York Giants, he served J as captain for seven years, was most ^ valuable player for three years, while playing several positions. "The job that Joe Morrison accomplished at the University of New Mexico this year is recognized by football people all over the j country as truly outstanding," Marcum said. j "THIS YEAR'S New Mexico team ranked < among national leaders: fourth in srorinu offense, fifth in total offense, eighth in 1 rusiiiug uuense anu 1 Jin in rusning aeiense.

Although Morrison was contacted by ther schools, he said Carolina was his first choice because of Bob Marcum. "I've known him the past couple of years, ind we've been together on various occasions, and I'm happy to be here working or him," Morrison said, with his wife JeVena at his side. When asked if there was any reason he hought he would be football coach for onger than Bell, Morrison joked, "Well, we ravel pretty light. It dcssn't take us long to )ack or unpack.

MORRISON SAID he plans to talk to his assistants at New Mexico, as well as the -emaining assistants at USC, before naming lis staff.

Morrison said, "Well, number one, I think whenever you walk into any position there has to be a lot of trust and a lot of confidence with the people you work for. I not only have that from (USC President) Dr. (James) Holderman, but from Bob Marcum as well." Morrison said he will "eventually" have control over whom he picks as his assistant coaches, but added he would not hestitate to consult Marcum for advice. : He said he intends to stress academics in recruiting because he believes Carolina is a good academic institution, and a player's education will be with him longer than his athletic ability.
