House Ways and Means Committee is discussing measures that may affect the amount of money USC will receive next year, which may possibly have a considerable impact on tuition, sources close to the committee said after a committee briefing Tucsdav about South Carolina's budget for 1990-91. Hurricane Hugo continues to have an effect on the state, as the budget recommendations include a $40 million bond issue to repay Students tc in USC's : 5y WENDY PELOSI Staff Writer Students will take a more active ole in USC's 1990 selfixamination study. Every 10 years the university md other institutions are accrelited or re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges ind Schools (SACKS). This study will involve student jpinions and evaluations on all assets of student life. Students will lave a stronger input in this survey han they have had in the past. There will be a random tele)hone survey of 450 students with various questions about all aspects )f student life, Bob Oldendick of he Institute of Public Affairs said. Assistant Researcher of the selfexamination study Davis Power ;aid the main objective is to seek 'reaffirmation of accreditation", vhich is done by complying with JACKS criteria. USC attempts, and every study las succeeded, to meet the SACKS iriteria to be re-accredited. Ten committees on the USCUolumbia campus have been ormed. These committees are prinarily made up of faculty, but hey also include students and the icademic community, assistant jlanner of the study Dave Bell aid. The committees examine every irea of the USC experience inducing the graduate and undergraduate irograms, research, the library and tudent, financial and business afSeniors shoul Career :rom staff reports There is good news and bad n graduating seniors who have yet heir job search.

This report is then edited and made into a volume, Bell said. The examination is usually a two-year process. This time, however, it should take about two and one-half years, because SACKS has adopted new criteria, Bell said. Presently, the evaluation committees are working on their planning efforts. This study began in the summer of 1988. The first full draft of the evaluation will be done in the fall of 1990, and the final draft will be completed by the end of 1990. The visiting team of about 25 people from SACKS will come to USC for four days in March 1991, Bell said. "Once SACKS has visited our university, read the reports and randomly interviewed students, faculty and staff, they will tell us how we compare with their criteria. They then will make written recommendations, and we will discuss their suggestions and improve our university in any way we can," Bell said. Student Government President Marie-Louise Ramsdale is on the committee that will examine student affairs. Ramsdale recommended students to serve on the various committees ana saia she and other members of the student affairs committee will examine the Greek system, registration, the bookstore and other aspects of student affairs. dn't procrastin Center c; ews for "Typically at the to start semester, seniors . weeks before gr? nd their they are s? far be her uni- the recruiters ai won't be back id many semester." autious. iiie they Assistant Direct' the eco/ait-and 3S, more whcre the employer com* greater a much chance o graduation than those w graduation and must seek i in on- ^ ugh the 'Typically at the end icp On- . h k seniors come m two we tion and they are so far 1 campus recruiters are gone and \ cipated next semester>?

"We (the Board of Trustees) live with the hope tha the legislature will come through with the money," h said. The amount of money needed to operate the univei sity at minimum levels of quality is determined by formula developed for the General Assembly Commil tee on Higher Education. The General Assembly then determines how muc money will be appropriated to the university. USC Provost Arthur Smith pointed out an annua increase in tuition should be expected anyway, al though not normally on such a high level, because th university's budget changes yearly with inflation rates Currently, the General Assembly may plan to allc ? m Mr'flKW /* f wm . m m mm Iff ~n<fr-in>rlll?iirl.-| m ^ >&??! ^ [ ill . ^^ _ ; *-"v - Outdoor studying Retailing freshman Missy Brodey and journal Sunday.
