State Student Legislature, said. Full Formula Funding, based primarily on the number of full-time students attending a state school, enahles 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 of the colleges and universities equally," said Snell, explaining that $2 million is the apnrnvimatp Hifffrfnrf hptwppn 100 nerfPnf 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. Funding for other years averaged about 90 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. 3 adviser [Saj o help SG personel manage time ??% fij :lp maintain continuity between :V'(MMHrA >n is a much needed one because . i available to properly orient an , o nothing, and it's that way for ^ it Government has basically had r" iltteetlng of hi .vould help alleviate inefficiency ^ progress wit) as well as to SG.

Although tuition will remain the same, housing costs continue to be a source of concern. "Tuition is one thing, but you have to live too," Snell said. l his year, the state benate approved luu percent funding, but the House proposed 94 percent, with a three year series of increases gradually bringing funding to 100 percent.
