Dick Riley's recent state budget j vetoes, university President I James Holderman said last week. ^ "There is no doubt, especially W in light of the governor's vetoes cutting the operating budget, that we will have a tuition increase," Holderman said. "This is regrettable but necessary to maintain the integrity of our academic programs." Pete Denton, USC vice president in charge of financc, said "the vetoes resulted in a halfmillion dollar decrease in state funds" and will affect USC tuition fees. * USC archeoli Egypt's olde: By AMY DELPO News editor USC archeology professor Micha fman first went to the desert in sc Egypt in 1969 to dig up what was t to be another old Egyptian city.

Riley recently vetoed several parts of the South Carolina state budget, many of which affect USC. Legislators rushed to override mn?t of thf* votnnc hut tHov didn't have time to reinstate them all. The Legislature was able to restore about $100 million in building projects the governor vetoed, but was unable to act on his veto of $10 million and 500 new state employees.

Since 1 came here in 1977, state support of the university's budget has been cut j from about 75 percent to about i 48 percent. The university can no longer be considered state supported, but rather a state-assisted institution." USC Student Government President Amy Houser said no student, including herself, wants an increase in tuition, but she thinks it's inevitable. "It's quite obvious that there is going to be a tuition increase," Pope John to visit uni By AMY DELPO News editor USC is expecting a visit from Pope John Paul II during the fall of 1987, said USC spokeswoman r\nV* r n A i/vui a nii^'ll. "We arc working with the Dioccse of Charleston in planning for and anticipating a visit by Pope John Paul 11," Allen said. The Diocese, which includes Columbia, is headed by Bishop Ernest Unterkoefler,who would not comment. Allen would not give details about the visit, saying only that USC views the pope's visit as "climactic to the university's plans commencing later this year to recognize religious leaders from around the world." The College of Cardinals elected Karol Wojtyla pope on Oct. 16, 1978. He took the name Pope John Paul II after his predecessor, Pope John Paul I. He was born in Wadowice, Poland. Pope John Paul II has been one of the most active and traveled popes in modern times. His travels include the United States, Africa and South America.

"I've spoken with Dr. Holderman and asked him to make it as minimal as possible." Denton was hesitant to quote specific figures on how high the tuition could go. "Clcnison announced last week an increase of about $120 per semester," he said. "1 think ours would be in that range." In spile of the vetoes, Riley said he was not singling out the university for cuts and would try to be fair with all of the various systems of higher education. Holderman said he does not yet know the amount of the tui tion increase, but he expects to have a proposal ready for the Board of Trustees meeting in July.

Newsweek magazine reported last week that the pope "is rumored to be planning a major ecumenical address at the University of South Carolina's /z,4UU-seat football stadium in Columbia." Allen did not comment on the article. South Carolina has a low number of Catholics. Of the 52 million Catholics in the United States, only about 76,000 are South Carolinians. oins USC ..
