USC students will march on the State House today
to fight the possibility of further tuition increases
next semester because of percentage
decreases in state full-formula funding for the
university.
The march, organized by Student Government,
will begin at 1:15 p.m. in front of the Russell House
University Union and then move to the State House
for a press conference.

Commission on Higher Education has recommended
a decrease for next fall to 85.6 percent, which
would mean a $16.2 million loss to USC. James
Franklin, a student senator, said this may mean a
tuition increase.
Donald Wood, the SG chief liaison of political affairs
said, "What we want to do is make this formula
real to the average Joe Blow student."
SG President Amy Houser and state Rep. Tim
Rogers, D-Richland, are expected to speak at the
State House.

After the speeches, the marchers will gather in the
House of Representatives gallery to witness the
meeting and show their support. Wood said
students should try to meet with their representatives
and voice their concerns personally before or
after the meeting.
"If we want to make an impact in their minds, we
should be saying that we are now going to vote
because we have a stake in the matter, and we will
continue to bother you and bug you until we get
full-formula funding," Woods said.

Student Government began working on the
