Hold By Hal Howell USC tuition will not increase this fall, according to university President James Holderman. Speaking before a June 28 meeting of University Associates he said, "The legislature.in its good judgement, determined that education across the board merited the highest priority and responded by fully funding the higher education formula." The General Assembly "passed a budget that included 99.4 percent of Full Formula Funding that was recommended by the Com mission on Higher Education," Tony Snell, governor of the S.C. State Student Legislature, said. Full Formula Funding, based primarily on the number of full-time students attending a state school, enables the CHE to determine funding needs for state higher education. This recommendation is then approved wholly or in part by the state legislature. "EACH SCHOOL has its own Full Formula Funding. When they take $2 million dollars out of the commission's general budget, the commission fairly takes that out nf the colleees and universities eauallv." said Snell, explaining that $2 million is the approximate difference between 100 percent funding and the funds allocated. He said this will leave USC about $598,000 short of the formula request. Holderman said only one other time in the past seven years, the 1978-79 fiscal year, has the education formula been fully funded. ^ - ' 1 _ I 4 AA bunding lor omer years averageu aouui yv percent of the formula. "The Commission on Higher Education was set up so that all schools, large and small, would have an equal opportunity to receive their appropriate funds," Snell said.

Snell said. Despite this practice, all schools would receive their proportional share of the new budget, he said. i THE GENERAL Assembly approved Gov. Dick Riley's one-cent sales tax to aid primary and secondary education in the same session as Full Formula Funding. 4iIt ii/qc q \;ipfAr\; nnt r\r?1\/ fAr thp r\r i rti a r v? a i "mo u * iviwi j , iiui uiijj i vi iii\. |;i iiikii v and secondary schools, but it was a victory for higher education as well, if you have a penny that will fund primary and secondary education, that frees a lot of money.

This year, the state Senate approved 100 percent funding, but the House proposed 94 percent, with a three year series of increases gradually bringing funding to 100 percent. MEMBERS OF the House wished to offer a $22 rebate per dependent on next year's tax forms to offset the new one-cent sales tax. The budget conflicts went into C onference c >mmittee and compromise was achieved by the end of June. The formula for higher education was funded at the 99.4 percent level, and the rebate was reduced to Si2.50 per dependent.
