In acidi Formula fundin student groups < By Ron Brackett USC President James Holderman has approved $ 1(H),(MX) to fund salaries now being paid by Student Activity Tees, pending fullformula fnnrlino for ihn nnii/Arcitu K */ ?! ?? state Legislature. "The money will go to relieve the fee of having to pay these salaries," Holderman said. Acting on a request from Student Government President Glenn German and Dennis Pruitt, vice president of Student Affairs, Holderman agreed to provide the money to make up for losses in the Student Activity fund caused by decreased enrollment. Last year the fund had $666,(KM); this year that figure fell to $618,500 because fewer students arc paying into the fund. FULL-TIME UNDKRGR ADU ATK students pay for this fund through a fee included in their tuition. Currently, pari of the student activity fee is used to pay the salaries of full-time employees associaieu wiin stuueni groups, such as the SCi adviser, (he director of student media, the assistant director ol intramurals, the director of student activities and some secretaries and graduate assistants. If full-formula funding is approved for the university, part of these salaries will he paid by the $100,000 from the university, allowing more of the activity fee to be distributed to student organizations, according to Rob Chiles, SCi adviser. Full-formula funding would mean the university would get all the money it requested from the state budget rather than a percentage of that amount. In the past USC got about 89 cents of every dollar it asked for. wr. HAVt a good chance ol coming out of the House Ways and Means Committee with full-formula funding," Iiolderman said in a telephone interview yesterday. "I'm optimistic about it." Next year's state budget is now being considered by the House of Representatives' Ways and Mean Committee and should be sent to the lull House in a lew weeks. esent platform: )ck presented four questions to fce- * - ; Government president.

Chiles said the $1(K),(K)() would not affect the S(i budget this year because the allocation process is almost finished. Student groups are appcalling tcnativc budgets now. The final SCi budget bill, alter being reviewed on l eb. 28, will go before the Student Senate on March 6. i nr. ivhjaim allocated during ihis pro cess will be distributed July I, the beginning of the next fiscal year. Chiles said if Holdcrman does make the S1(K),(KK) available, the money saved in Student Activity lees by not having to pay all the salaries will be distributed to student groups during next fall's allocation process. During the fall process, money left over from the previous fiscal year is distributed among student groups. Chiles said the $100,0(X) that would have gone to salaries would be added to this remaining money. German sent a letter to Pruitt Feb. 15 explaining the need for help with the Student a. rtvtivity itv. PRUITT CONTACTED Holderman vsith several options for getting more money for organizations. These options included reducing the number of employees, series and programs; raising the activity fee; cutting percentage funding to major groups, such as the Carolina Program Union and Student Media; or having the university pay the salaries. Holderman agreed to have the university pay^art of the salaries. "This speaks well for the capacity of the university to work together," Holdciman said. ? as nnlk nrmn w- ?
