Budget deficit
By David Hill
Eliminating USC's budget deficit won't be a problem,
President James Holderman said yesterday.
Freezing some positions and having a lag time in filling

revenue gap in the 1983-84 fiscal year budget, Holderman said
in an interview with the Gamecock yesterday.
Projected expenses for the Columbia campus for fiscal year
1984 total nearly $106.1 million, while projected revenue is
just under $105.3 million, according to the budget.
HOLDERMAN PRESENTED the cost-cutting approach to
the board of trustees as a way of dealing with the deficit. The
board approved the budcet this past week.
"The budget is tight. Hopefully next year's budget will
reflect full-formula funding," Holderman said.
About $78.6 million, or 74.6 percent, of revenue for appropriated
activities comes from state appropriations.
Through the past legislative year, the General Assembly added

The state Budget and Control Board added $2.66 million.
STUDENT FEES of $23.36 million account for 22.2 per
cent of revenue for appropriated activities, a 2.2 percent increase
over fiscal year 1983.
Added was $4.25 million, the income generated by a recent
tuition increase.
Deducted from the 1983 base of $20.11 million was $1
million, the estimated loss of revenue due to enrollment
change.
Also related to the enrollment decrease was a base reduction
in campus-generated income of $150,000. Sales, services and
other campus-generated income accounted for 1.2 percent of
total revenue.
OTHER REVENUE sources are a non-recurring coliseum
contingency fund, and a balance from fiscal year 1983.
Of the $106.07 million in budgeted expenditures, $58.03
million, or 54.7 percent, goes to instruction. This is an increase
of nearly $3 million over this past fiscal year, when instruction
comprised 55.3 percent of expenses. During 1982,
the figure was 55.3 percent.
Academic support of $10.37 million makes up 9.8 percent
of expenditures. This past year's actual academic support ex

Institutional support, $ 12.37 million and 11.6 percent, is the
second largest expenditure, representing an increase of nearly
$63,000 over actual 1983 expenditures.
OPERATION AND maintenance expenses are $10.59
million, an increase of $1.29 million, and make up 10 percent
of total expenses, up from 9.3 percent in 1983.
Utilities, $7.98 million, account for 7.5 percent of expenses,
compared to $6.75 million and 6.8 percent in 1983. Utilities
expenses increase by about $1 million annually, Holderman
said.
Research, though emphasized by Holderman, suffers a
$244,170 decrease from actual 1983 expenditures. It makes up

For public service, $483,856 is budgeted. This is 0.5 percent
of expenses, the same as in 1983.
The entire USC system budget totals $142.27 million in projected
revenue, and $143.06 million in expenses. Besides the
Columbia campus, campuses receiving the largest appropriations
are the Medical School, $9.96 million; Spartanburg,
$7.25 million; Conway (Coastal Carolina), $7.03 million; and
Aiken, $5.29 million.
