more than 12,500 employers in

forecasted 20 percent increases
and 12 percent decreases in 1985.
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.

A committee for the Trustee
Scholarship Funding, provided
for by the $5 price increase of the
Clemson tickets this season, will
begin awarding a new scries of
four-year scholarships to incoming
freshmen for the '86-'87
academic year.
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

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.

three categories of scholarships
that have already been set up; instead,
the USC Department of

charge of choosing recipients.
"The board wanted a regular
commission to handle allocations,"
Vlahopus said.
