The predicted decline is partially the result of seasonal hiring dips, which occur in all first quarters, according to Mitchcll Fromstein, Manpower president. But this year's drop is stronger than usual. Businesses are reluctant to hire because the third and fourth quarter profits did not improve from the previous recession, according to Linda Salane, USC placement office director.

The board, who initiated the project with support from the USC Athletic Department, has dedided that the $300,000 gained from the increase will be used for three types of financial aid and an endowment fund, according to Chris Vlahopus, secretary to the board. "Each time the money is uvuvwu 11 will ut |JUl llll\J lilt tilI dowment, so it will grow," Vlahopus said. The money will have to spread out over two years as revenue only comes in when the Clemson game is played in Columbia. The board set aside $60,000 for the endowment, while the remaining $240,000 will be divided equally for students in each of three catagories. Students can receive aid based on merit, financial need or as a minority. The board has not decided exactly how the money earned on their investment wil be spent, but it will be on scholarships.
