Foster, a center on USC's basketball team for three and a half years, told The Columbia Record that USC boosters "answered all my wishes.

I- f iiftim T USC tuition 11 despite more By AMY DELPO News oriitor USC students face the possibility of a tuitition raise despite legislative approval of a $5.3 million increase in state funds, said USC President James Holderman. "This is going to be a very tight year for the University of South Carolina," Holderman told the Board of Trustees June 6th. He said he would probably know the amount of the increase in about three weeks. "We have to take a very hard look at what is available and take it from there," he said. According to Rep. Fred Sheheen from the state Commission on Higher Education, South Carolina has some control over tuition increases. Starting next year, students will be required to pay for 20 percent of their education but no more than 25 percent of it. If institutions take more than that from their students, the commission will subtract the dif II <. i v.11v.i 111 Mdic uu11nrs. If Gov. Dick Riley docs not veto the 1986-87 budget, USC will get approximately $102 million next year as compared to 99.3 million this year, said Pete Denton, USC Senior Vice President for Business and Finance. He also said that a tuition increase is a possibility. "We've got to find ways to get more money," he said. Denton said that all programs at USC will be looked at and considered for spending cuts. Although USC will get an increase in funds, it will still not be receiving full formula funding from the state. Sheheen defined full formula funding as the money needed by each educational instil ution'based on a formula calculated by the commission. The igram for industry computer engineering, engineering management and manufacturing systems engineering. The satellite network also provides non-credit short courses and workshops designed for technical professionals and engineers. USC will not spend any money on the program because of corporate participation. At a cost from $50,(XX) to $250,000, companies ranging from IBM to Motorola Inc. have been contracted to participate in the program. Humphries said the cost for the companies is preferable to the alternative. "It would cost these industries much more to give their key people release time to travel to distant campuses for continuing education courses," he said. .

Fred Sheheen State Commission on Higher Education formula is the minimum approximation of what the institutions will need, Sheheen said. When calculating the formula, the commission considers enrollment, salaries of professors, overhead costs and money for research. It also considers the comparative funding of educational institutions in the Southeast. The approved budget provides for 98.45 percent of formula funding, which is the lowest percentage in three years, Sheheen said. "I think that anytime we don't get full formula funding that it does hurt," Sheheen said. "We are falling short of the Southeastern situation and nationally." "The institutions may have to tighten their belts but there aren't a whole bunch of places to go for money," Sheheen said. He said that he hopes to gain full formula funding in the future. "We would exoect to make un the difference next year," he said. USC had originally asked the state for Si08 million. "We felt that it was a justified increase," Denton said. He said he was disappointed with the amount ot money the state legislature will be giving USC. workers NTU is a lully accredited institution.
