"The word we get is that there will be no new money in the state open. All of the money coming in will go to pay our debts off. That means our 2 percent we have in contingency will be gone," he said. "If I had to bet right now, I'd say yes the money will be gone," he said. USC, like all other state agencies, has 2 percent of its budget set aside in a mntinpenr.v fnnrt Smith Carolina's Budget and Control Board could take the money and put it in the state's budget. USC administrators have said if the money is taken, there would be less money in academic and maintenance areas. Teachers will have to take on more duties to make up for current vacancies, Palms said. "USC should be very cautious in jxpenditures until we see if the economic recovery is true," Palms ;aid. USC Spokeswoman Debra Allen ?aid the university will not find out ibout the contingency money until he end of the month. Palms also said Thursday he faces alumni of the 1951 ROTC < and scholarships.

The position reports directly to Palms under the president's new reorganization plan. "We must have someone in this position with extraordinary talents. This is a very important position ' and we must have the right person," Palms said. A search was conducted for an officer before Palms came to USC in March. However, the two candidates left did not impress Palms. "Of those two candidates, I just did not see one with the right qualifications. I was not impressed," he said. Palms was only available to interview one of the two candidates because the other one had left Columbia. "The one candidate I interuioo n/v# ??.!*?? T 1 ? *v"vu noa nwi wild I I was lOOKing for," Palms said. Palms refused to release the name of the applicant because "it would invade his privacy." Palms expects to announce a search committee of "eight or 10 people" within the next week. "The search process could last four to six months, but I just don't want to rush this. We have to make sure we have the right person for the very important job," he said. kBvF* Wfjr B Edie Rosenthal/The Gamecock :orps in front of the capital.
