President James Franklin is successful. The proposed group will be called the S.C. Student Body Presidents' Organization. The program is the first of its kind anywhere, said Franklin, who began planning the program last spring. The organization would consist of all the student body presidents of colleges and universities in the state. Franklin said he sent out a letter to all the student body presidents in June, and the response so far has been encouraging. The organization would represent the state's college students by appearing before the Commission on Higher , Education; voice specific concerns of individual schools; and lobby in the state legislature and on schools' Boards of Trustees, according to Franklin. ((Ci J f u- - rr - 11 -1 1 J i ? * oiuucms, lacuny, sian ? an snouia piay a pari in mis ] program," Franklin said. i Students can participate by voicing their opinions to i S.G., and the faculty and staff would assist by teaching 1 leadership workshops geared especially for student body presidents, Franklin said. ] "I feel the State House response will be favorable," s Franklin said, adding that state Rep. Timothy Rogers, D- 1 Richland, has been giving him positive feedback. "This group can make a change," Frankling said. t "There is an institution of higher learning in every county < in South Carolina. While the student presidents may not t be able to make a difference individually, collectively we represent the entire state." < Franklin also said the group will work to push a bill for J full-formula funding for public institutions. t Fred Sheheen, the state's Commissioner for Higher 1 Education expressed support for the group and said the i student leaders would be welcomed. The legislators need t more input from students, he said. The lobbying group could make a tremendous dif- i ference in the designation of funding for colleges, i Sheheen said. 1 "We need to mobilize all the constituents of higher education, including students, faculty and trustees," he f added. i The legislature will listen to college students, Sheheen ? increase c j "Some continue to teach namely ~ |?~ because students taking night classes T~ B can't get their degree without the par- \"??

He added that Bradley's position was not an essential factor at all in their actions. Bradley is careful on such issues and abstains from votes taken on funding given to USC, Bundy said. The funds raised by the Carolina Business Campaign will be allocated in various directions. Included are $3.6 million that will be aimed at faculty development, of which the Foundation Fellows program is part. A grant of $600,000 will also be directed toward the areas of student scholarships, the updating of computer equipment, the expansion of library resources and program innovation. residents' group ure for students "Students, faculty, staff ? all should play a part in this program.

Rogers said students need to do a more effective job in lobbying. He said students, as a group of constituents, are seen as less likely to vote and to become involved in egislative issues. "Therefore, there's no particular regard paid them in :he legislature. To an extent, that position can be chang:d. (The legislature) is going to be more responsive when he issue comes to funding," he said. John Davis, president of the S.C. State Student 3overnment Association, said the effectiveness of the ?roup would depend on participation, "ff the organizaion does what it set out to do, it will be very instrumental. But if it's just another fly-by-night organization, with nembers just paying dues and doing nothing, then just he opposite." Students' reactions were mixed. "It's a good idea, but tobody's listened to students before. Why should they low?" Media arts junior John Kline said. "It wouldn't lurt to try, though."
