In his fall address to the Senate Wednesday, Student Government President Glenn German announced that a matching corporate donor and possibly a benefit concert had been secured to aid the student Summit Fund drive that he initiated 11113 DU1111I1V1 "Today, at 3:30 p.m., we received confirmation that Jimmy Buffet will play a benefit concert late this fall with a percentage of the revenues going to the student Summit Fund Drive.

German said Friday that plans for the Buffet concert were not yet definite and at this point it there was only a verbal agreement. Bill Kotti, chairman of the student drive, said he had been talking to Buffet's Beach Club Promotions representative for this region, Wilson Howard, since May. He said Buffet was "showing strong interest" in playing at Carolina, and that the concert may be in late October or early November. THE ANNOUNCEMENTS mark a victory of sorts for the itudent Summit F j mniHnna ?? SG president's often controversial fundraising drive. From its inception in June of this year there have been questions regar- > ding Student Government involvement in private fund drives. 1 Law student William Hamilton initiated the controversy in ? a summer letter to this paper. Paul Ward, USC legal counsel, 1 told l he uamecocK Aug. l tnat there wouia oe no impropriety, "assuming that the program is a purely voluntary effort." ; The student drive is part of a larger $35 million project in- i itiated by USC President James Holderman in mid-October of und donations ast year. The Summit Fund was established to seek corporate ind individual donations to enhance academic programs hroughout the university. As of August, the fund had receiv:d more than $25 million in donations and pledges and ap>eared well on its way to meeting its January 1985 deadline. German proposed the student drive to the board of trustees ast summer as a wav to involve students in a lasting contribu ion to the university. The student fund would consist of >100,000 raised by students through business and individual donations matched by a corporate donor. Money raised would ?e endowed, or invested, with earnings going toward scholarihips, possibly the existing Carolina Scholars fund. EARLY ON, a benefit concert was considered as a way in .vhich some of the student monies could be raised in addition :o canvassing local businesses patronized by students. German >aid Wednesday that 60 businesses had been targeted and had responded well to the fundraising efforts. "The final step, student contributions, depends largely on your support, both as students, and as student senators, German told the Senate, which had assembled for their regular weekly meeting.

Copy Machine manager Phil Cason said he was informed in early August that the shop, located on the third floor of the Russell House, would be closed and replaced by a printing service in the planned Russell House mall. Pete Denton, senior vice president for business and finance, said the biggest reason was that the shop couldn't pay for itself. The shop was one of several services that make up the Russell House University Union. According to the 1983-84 an nual report, Copy Machine's goals were 10: devise and implement a new system for copy accountability, devise and implement a new charge policy, decrease the number of customer complaints and break even financially.

"1 think its workable because it's an inequality," said Burroughs. "It may take time." He added,"I'm looking at next season definitely." This year and in the past, greek organizations have had block seating in sections 17 and 18. Independent organizations are seaieu in sciuuu* 501 and 502, in the upper deck. "THEY'RE NOT so bad seats.
