Budget cut leads
By FRED STEPPE
Staff writer
USC's Writers Series has been discontinued
because of a lack of funds, said the dean of the College
of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The series was designed to bring authors from
around the world to speak at USC.
Chester Bain, dean of the College of Humanities
and Social Sciences, was in charge of the money
allocated to the project. Bain said financial support
for the series came from money left over in USC accounts.
This normally occurs when a faculty
member either takes an unpaid leave of absence or is
unable to fill a needed position for a semester.
(tn - ** '
occausc 01 mc iwo percent budget cut," Bain
said, "we simply do not have the funds."
The series, started in 1979, included five or six
A writers a year and was able to attract authors Erica
Jong, Tom Wolfe, Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Wilbur,
Seamus Heany, Toni Morrison and Nobel Prize
winners Czeslaw Milosz and I.D. Singer.

Vonnegut, author of "Slaughterhouse Five" and
"Cat's Cradle," drew more than 3,500 people into
the Carolina Coliseum, said George Geckle, English
department chairman.
The series had good support from students, faculty
and the communitv. he said
Geckle said the series might return to USC.
"Hopefully, with funds, we'll have it back by spring,
1987."
Geckle said he thinks people are definitely disappointed
because of the loss of the project.
"I'm disappointed and I wish they could do away
with something else instead of cutting the program,"
said Steve Byars, biology sophomore.
"I love to read, and I'm going to miss the opportunity
to see some of my favorite authors in person,"
said Chip Chewning, history junior.

not comment on the cost of the
visit or the origin of its funding.
Most visitors do not charge for
their appearances, according to
Hans Knoop, Information Services
director. Knoop said the
cost is quite minimal because expenses
are paid from private
donations to USC.
Expenses include transportation,
accommodations and meals
for each visit, and vary with each
visit, he said.
