Senate
spring
By TODI) II INKS
Assistant news editor
The Student Senate voted in
favor of the spring budget allocations
set by the Senate Finance
Committee to distribute an
estimated $663,224 in Student
Activity Fees at the M^rch 4
meeting.
Senators voted 23-5 for the bill
during the two hours of debate.
The senate has the power to
change any allocated percentages
of the 89 organizations. Sen.
Rick Black suggested a $1,000
reduction in the Dance allocations
placing the money under the
Honorarium Fund Account, but
he was voted down.
A 10 percent administrative
surcharge of $66,322 will be
assessed by the university leaving
j>5Vb,yuz going to the funded
organizations.
The Student Media was given
25 percent; Carolina Programs
Union, 22 percent; Student
Government, 9.5 percent; Sports
Clubs, 6 percent and the Law
School, 3 percent. The
Honorarium Fund Account, a
fund for requests made after
allocations, also got 3 percent
although it is not an
organization.
Clubs and organizations meet
with the Finance Committee to
determine their need, said Sen.
Tabatha Chavis, acting finance
committee chairman. During
these meetings they establish a

By TODD HINES
Assistant news editor
Student Government, joined
by representatives from five other
state-funded schools, will lead
another march today to the State
House to show support of fullformula
funding.
Without full-formula funding
there could be a possible $40
million cut to higher education in
the state. USC alone could suffer
a $17 million funding loss.

in session for the week, and the
march is timely, he said.
SG President Amy Houser said
she is optimistic about the success
of this march. "This is the
perfect time for students to get
out," she said.
