Administration By John Deiner A lack of student input on administrative action is a problem that continues to plague the university, according to two student leaders. "We're never informed," said Mike McMullen, president of the Residence Hall Association. "What do we have to do as a student group to be notified?" Student Government President Barry Gray said he thinks the administration often proceeds with nlans before asking for student input. "THE ADMINISTRATION cooperates as long as the Student Government Association stays in touch. We can only do this partime," said Gray. "In the past, it has been a problem. We're now just catching up from the delay of the inauguration." The three-month-long delay, caused by a lengthy appeal of the spring election finals, meant that SG committees could not be ap pointed unui mis semester. STUDENT GOVERNMENT has a staff member who tracks administrative action and makes sure proper committees are notified. Gray said it's important for committee members to be present at decisionmaking meetings.

If the students aren't there, they go ahead and act," he said, adding that the at tendance policy was passed without student input. STUDENT GOVERNMENT is still trying to determine if students were on the advisory board when the attendance policy was changed last year. To reverse the decision, Gray said Student Government must have people at faculty meetings. "We have to show that we are consistent in our demands. Right now, I'm sorry to say, they're not taking us seriously," he said. McMullen expressed anger over a recent statement by USC President James Holderman that dormitory fees would be raised to accommodate higher utility bills and dormitory maintenance. He said his anger stemmed from a disclosure that Residential Life Services contributed $300,000 from its reserve fund to help cover university budget HpfirifQ lnct <;pmp<;tpr Richard Wertz, director of Business Affairs for RLS, said the money was transferred because an emergency situation existed. 4"WE WERE looking at a severe state budget crunch.

He said all departments did their part to help the school, but said the money was noi a gift to USC. "We don't think of it as a permanent contribution. We thought of it as a loan. We will see the money again, whether in actual cash or services rendered," said Wertz. The reserve fund consists of unused housing fees available at the end of the fiscal year. Wertz is uncertain how much is in the fund now, but expects the RLS budget to balance out by July 1, 1984, and leave the fund empty. "THFV NFVFR trJH uc ' V4., lilVT "VIV to take the money," McMullen said. He thinks the $300,000 transferred into the university's budget could have offset last semester's large housing increases. Systems Vice President of Fiscal Affairs Robert Denton disagrees with McMullen. "With the $300,000 housing fees may not have gone up as much. But they still would have gone up," Denton said. A state law requiring student housing to be self-sufficient makes dorms ineligible to receive state funds.

He cited dorm staffs and University 101 classes as university contributions to the dorms. Both Denton and Wert/, agreed that student leaders were informed of the transfer of the funds. "It was presented to the board of trustees. It was public knowledge," said Denton. Gray reserved comment pending his own investigation. According to McMullen, the renovation of Union Station in Russell House is another example of the lack of communications between the students and the administration. THK SNACK bar is being renamed "Takin' Five" and will offer students beverages, baked goods, health food and perhaps sandwiches. "It will be an overall big improvement," ? said Carl Chandler, director of university dining services. "A mix of health food and junk will be the best way to describe Takin' Five."
