By TIGE WATTS
News Editor
USC President John Palms cautioned
USC about its spending habits
Thursday, the same day
budget experts said South Carolina
will have no new available money.
"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.

will start a search to name a new
affirmative action officer.
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.
