Coastal residents stocked up on supplies and the Navy made plans to move its ships to sea for safety as Hurri- 1 cane Hugo spun toward the United States. * South Carolinians watched warily as the storm, which left 25 dead after it slashed through Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, was spinning on an uncertain course east of the Bahamas. A westward turn could take the storm across central Florida or, if the turn were delayed, into the coastline of Georgia or the Carolinas by week's end. "When that will happen, we don't know" specifically, said Martin Nelson, a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables, Fla. < "Hurricane Hugo has the poten- < rial of being the worst storm to af- 1 feet the Southeast coast since Da- s vid hit the Georgia-South Carolina ! coast in 1979," said John Purvis, i TrStty 513 Twelfth Street W.

Civil defense workers were making contingency plans with Gov. Carroll Campbell's office should the hurricane come ashore in South Carolina. In Charleston, the Navy announced it would move its ships to sea Wednesday to ride out the storm and avoid possible damage at pierside. No decisions were made on moving aircraft from the Charleston Air Force Base and the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort until the storm gets closer, officials said. At Ace Royall Hardware in Mount Pleasant, customers grabbed up batteries, masking tape, flashlights and lamp oil, manager Louis Middleton said. Up the coast in Myrtle Beach, city officials began moving bulldozers and chain saws to locations where they would be readily accessible to help clean up after the storm, city spokesman Pat Dowling said. 8 CRUISER?

Student Senate By KRIS TAYLOR Staff Writer The Student Senate approved a revision of the student government financial regulations and passed three other pieces of legislation at its meeting this past Wednesday. Senator Rajan Shah, on behalf of the Senate Finance Committee proposed a revision of the student body finance regulations to take effect upon passage of the revision. The bill gives numerous reasons for the revisions. The first reason, according to the bill, is the Board of Trustees approved an increase in student activity fees. The rise in activity fees increases the amount of money for allocation to each student organization, Shah said. Second, past experiences have indicated that to change the financial regulations enables student organizations to have more participation in the development and administration of their Duagets. The third reason for the revision, according to the bill, is to continually update the regulations to improve current methods of administering student activity funds. The key change in the regulations is the addition of article 203.25. The article states that "any year-end deficit shall be subtracted from an organization's allocations for the next fiscal year." The bill also states that "any funds left in the organization's account at the end of fiscal year shall be carried over." The article goes further to say that the finance committee may disallow a carry-over if the organization has not followed student govpjh JASON & IKE SCORCHERS Thunder And Fire Cowpunk & power chords forged into hot-blooded rock, j Fire extinguisher not included.

Concern about the revisions from the Senatf floor focused on a required unanimous vot< from all groups within a percentage funded or ganization to establish an honorarium. Unde the article, an honorarium could not be estab lished unless all groups within the organizatioi agreed. Senator Stephen Benjamin was afraid tha one group's dissent would limit funds for th< other groups within the organization. Senator Shah said the vote was made to b< unanimous to protect smaller organizations "Not all organizations want to give a portion o their funds for an honorarium," Shah said "They're putting in money, but they're not get ting any back. In response to Benjamin's concern, Shah saic that the need for honorariums was practicalb eliminated because of the increase in activity fees. "Each organization will benefit from the in crease in activity fees", Shah said. "If organiza tions plan ahead, they can include requests foi speakers in their original budgets." Shah also said that the new regulations allov* for special event funding if the Senate Finance Committee, with Senate annroval. deems the event beneficial for the University. The Senate passed the revisions by acclamation. Any concerns or questions can be addressed toward Senator Shah. In other Senate business, Senator Cameror Bearden on behalf of S.G.
