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.

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.

University print shop ti
#
By Ann Farmer
USC students will have no campus print shop as of noon
today.
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.

here. This is not a meeting against

THE MEETING lasted for about 50
minutes. The group as a whole came to
no definite conclusions, but Burroughs
said plans to continue to take
action.
He said he will talk first to Gary

together a committee of leaders from
all the organizations to discuss the
issue and take further action.
"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*

The Atheletic Ticket Department at s<

they had received no formal complaint
from students. w
According to an article in Thurs- 8(

any proposal from students would be w

said other officials would also be in- t'1

THE POSITIONING of each group c<
is up to the Athletic Ticket Depart- w

nothing to do with it," said Rodney
Brown, head of the ACO committee.
He said student government would act tl
as a mediator, but it is not a student d
government issue until a complaint is s<
filed. e
"I can recognize that there is a pro- t<

can, we want to stay away from a
