student government and Gamma
Beta Phi fraternity are offering a
free shuttle service to and from

On Nov. 24 and 25 the shuttle

Students may meet in front of

Robert Beall, who resurrected the
idea.
Beall said the service has been
used successfully in the past.

The USC library bought two-thirds
less the amount of books in 1985 than it
did in 1974 because of budget problems,
said Kenneth Toombs, director of
libraries.
The increase in support for the
libraries has not kept up with increases
in prices, Toombs said. "We could safely
spend two times as much on books
than we do now."
The library also has 1,800 fewer journal
subscriptions than in 1981.
Part of the problem is that the library
buys about half of its books from
overseas. This means that it must deal
with fluctuating exchange rates of
money.

Holderman will become the
state's highest paid agency head
or elected official on Dec. 1 when
his salary is increased to $92,427.
He is now paid $83, 486.

as it should. "We have lots of problems,"
Toombs said.
"We try to provide the best possible

20 times as much now as it was 20 years

The library's budget problems are illustrated
in a ranking of total expenditures
for libraries in North America.
In 1974, the library was ranked 57th in
total operating budget. In 1985,
