The possibility of raising housing
costs will be discussed at the USC
board of trustees meeting tomorrow
morning.
The Student-Trustee Liaison
Committee voted Thursday to
recommend housing costs be raised
17.7 percent to offset budget deficits.
Skyrocketing utility costs, caused by
South Carolina Electric and Gas and
CmifVinnn DAII foktb-Am tnon
uuuuici ii ucii iaic 111 x\ra, was uiic ui
the major reasons cited by housing
officials and the liaison committee for
the recommendation.
Director of Housing Bob Stewart j
said housing rates haven't increased (
nearly as much as the utility costs
over the years, and the university has
made an accomplishment in holding t
these costs down. ,
"IT'S REALLY amazing that we've
been able to keep the costs this low for |
as long as we have," Stewart said. ,
In 1975-76, USC's total utility costs
for housing made up 20 percent of the
Residential Life Services budget,
Stewart said. In 1981-82, there was a ,
10.9 percent increase in utilities, and
in 1982-83, utilities rose 3.6 percent.
Almost half of the Residential Life
Services budget in 1982-83 went to pay
for utilities, because of SCE&G and 1
Southern Bell's rising costs, Stewart 1
said. *

?Director of Housing
Bob Stewart
IN 1977-78, there was no increase in
housing costs, according to Stewart,
aut since 1978, housing increased 50.3
percent. The board of trustees may
agree to raise housing rates 17.7
percent ? a larger percentage increase
than any other in the past five
/ears.
These increases have meant continuing
higher housing rates for
students.
In 1977-78, when rates did not increase,
a student living in the Towers
Complex paid $237 per semester for
lousing. In 1982-83, the same room
cost $407 per semester ? a $170 increase
over a five-year period.
If the 17.7 percent increase is aporoved
tomorrow, a Towers room will
cost $479.34 in the fall ? a $72.34 increase.
Overall, housing rates have increased
a total of 67.95 percent since
1975, while utilities have increased a
total of 83.3 percent.
