If they do this, the state government will have to take up the ^ slack, and this is something that they may W not he nrenared to dn " said DSC Sindrru Government President Kelvin Stroble. The state government is currently placing an emphasis on secondary schools, he continued. It may not have the ability to help out the higher education. If this "shift" in responsibility does take place, it will be the state taxpayers who will suffer the most, he said. About 10,000 students at USC receive some type 01 iinanuai aiu, such as a reu Grant, from organizations that are currently ^ being operated by the federal government, w This amounts to approximately $2 million that the university receives from these grants.

"If students will write their congressman and let them know that they aren't happy with the proposal, 1 don't see how it could pass," Stroble said. ^ The South Carolina Student Legislature uiiaiiiuiuuji/ nit uj;uitu pel* cent cut at an April 19 convention in Charleston, which included 50 delegates representing 19 S.C. colleges and universities.
