Full fundi
By Frank Sala
South Carolina's colleges and
universities may receive full funding
next year, rather than the reduced appropriations
they have been getting,
Rep. 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.
"The economy is super," said

a good chance of getting full funding.
Citing 8 percent unemployment and 4
percent inflation, she said people are
spending more than last year, thus
creating more tax revenue. Hearn said
the increased revenue will make $58

adding that next year's priorities will
be different.
Even if USC gets its share of the

about $12 million this year, the increased

From Staff Reports
Provost Frank Borkowski will not leave
use.
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.
Turner's selection was announced during a
Mississippi state College Board meeting at
Mississippi State University, and Borkowski
said he was notified by telephone Wednesday <

He said Turner "is an energetic,
^ charismatic indiv 1 dual, and a majority of the e
board apparently felt that is what they s
fe wanted," n
er Wootwi "*oe Boghdahn, Mississippi student body I
president, told reporters either Turner or
Borkowski would "work well" with u
1 students, but students believed Turner was p
"more open with his personality."

Lovelace said Borkowski had greater administrative
experience but Turner "has gone
to the top and is on a fast track."
Lovelace received excellent letters of
recommendation for both educators, he said.
Borkowski did not actively seek the
chancellorship, but was invited by
Mississippi.
In early December, he visited the Jackson
;ampus for an hour-long discussion with the
jniversity's board of trustees.
Borkowski has been the provost and ex
cutive vice president for academic affairs
ince 1978. He had previously been an adninistrator
at Indiana University-Purdue
Jniversity in Fort Wayne.
Beckham said "it speaks well of this
niversity" that Borkowski did not actively
ursue any other posts.
"He's a fair guy, powerful in a very subtle
