Joyce Hearn said. Higher education has been getting about 89 cents of every dollar promised by the state, said USC lobbyist, John Gregory. This amounts to a state-wide short fall of $27 million, he said. Gregory, who is fighting for a proposal to retrieve the missing 11 percent, blamed the dwindling state funds on economic hard times. But according to Hearn, the economy has improved.

Borkowski was one of two finalists for the chancellorship of the University of Mississippi. But Robert Turner, vice president for " t . academic affairs at the University of IWW* Oklahoma, was selected, Mississippi announced Wednesday. Borkowski said he was in a "win-either way situation." "I love being in Columbia and I'm excited about the direction the University of South Carolina is going, so 1 couldn't lose," he said. The chancellor is the highest post at the University of Mississippi. At USC, provost is the highest academic post. Mississippi was the fourth institution to seek Borkowski since he has been at USC, g and that speaks well for the university, said j: Steve Beckham, spokesman for President James Holderman. "I really think Mississippi made a grave I mistake that's our eood fortune." Beckham said. "Frank Borkowski is nothing less than a superb administrator and academician, Beckham said. "He's done much good for Carolina." , v "The institution would have lost a great v deal," Beckham said.
