USC President John Palms sai(
Wednesday another round o:
budget cuts, the third one sinc<
June, might be in USC's future.
USC has had to prepare for twe
budget cuts so far. The first rounc
? came when the university made it!
1991-92 budget. Almost twe
months later, the State's Budge
and Control Board imposed a 1
percent cut and 2 percent to be se
aside in a contingency fund.
Both cuts were made on the pre
mise the state's revenue collections
would be up almost 6 percent
However, recent indications have
shown revenues are far from the t
percent requirement.
"We made our budget with the
assumption state revenue collections
would be up. However,
we've received no signs that collections
are going up. In order tc
fill that void, we're going to look
at what cuts we can make," Palms
said.
The first round of cuts in June
placed stress on non-academic units.
Their annual budget was eul
more than $2 million.
To make up for some of thai
money, $100,000 was transferred
i to Student Affairs' from contingency
funds. This transfer has left
USC vulnerable to a catastrophe,
Vice President of Student Affairs
Dennis Pruitt said.
The first budget also eliminated

internal office to get such grants.
The next round of cuts took
1 more away from academic and
; maintenance departments. Former
' Provost Art Smith told The Game1
cock before he left, USC would
see fewer sections of classes and
specialized classes offered.
Palms said administrators are
hard-pressed to find areas to cut.
"We're going to have a drastic
) curtailing of moving funds. We
won't be able to move outstanding
' faculty out here. We're also going
to see a drastic cut made in travel
; funds."
Palms also said academic deL
partments will not be able to fill
vacancies. "We're going to cut as
: far down as we can without cutting
academic programs. There's no fat
around here so it's hard to find
areas to cut," he said.
USC may be helped if the state
does not take the 2 percent set
aside in contingency funds. That
1 money could go to offset the lower
revenue collections.
I However, Palms remained cau>
tious and said, "The money we set
aside may not be enough to set
aside."

Low-income apartments
suggested for location
By The Associated Press
Using the soon-to-be-closed Myrtle Beach
Air Force Base as a site for homeless and lowincome
people could help alleviate the shortage
of housing in the area, a housing authority official
said.
"We'd certainly be interested in any of that
housing for our people," said Jane Hilburn, executive
director of the Myrtle Beach Housing
Authority. "We could probably fill it up in short
order."
The Air Force base, one of 34 military installations
slated for shutdown as part of the Defense
Department's budget cuts, has 800
houses, eight dormitories and a 65-lot mobile
home park.
Myrtle Beach has plenty of housing for people
in middle- and high-income brackets, with
its high-rise condos and oceanfront villas. But
the city suffers, however, from a severe shortage
of low-income housing, Hilburn said.
"Oh, we have a very great need," she said.

For the last three months, the housing authority
has been turning people away, she said.
The housing authority spends about $60,000
each month helping 248 families pay their rent
Many of the poor live in two privately owned
apartment complexes in Myrtle Beach. The city
has no public housing projects in the city.
"Outsiders look at Myrtle Beach and see a
giant tourist area," Hilburn said. "What they
don't realize is that there are many low-income
people and their families struggling to make it
here ? maids, cooks, maintenance men, waiters
and waitresses."
Base development officials cautioned, however,
that low-income housing is only one of
many options for the base.
"Housing for homeless and low-income people
will certainly be looked at seriously," said
Gene Lawrimore, vice-chairman of the South
Carolina Base Development Commission. "But
we don't have any definitives on anything, yet."
The problem is that housing for the poor
would not generate money for the city, money
needed when the Myrtle Beach economy takes
an expected nosedive when the base closes in
1993. 1

Edsel Deville, a former base commander who
sits on the development commission. "Others
lave suggested using the base dorms for college
students and turning part of the base into a college

Myrtle Beach city officials also said they are

\venue North and Oak Street.
If the project is approved, 30 to 60 single'amily
houses, a park and a community center
vould be built on the 11.5-acre property, city
ipokesman Pat Dowling said.
Meanwhile, federal officials announced that a
53 million federal grant has been awarded for
mprovements to the city airport, which shares
and with the Air Force base.
The funds will help pay to double the size of
he existing terminal, a project designed to help
ncrease tourism and commercial traffic, said
Todd Crawford, deputy director of the Myrtle

How much do they get paid?
