mission statement
By TIGE WATTS
News Editor
USC President John Palms said
he and other college presidents
will try to promote the need for
higher education funding Tuesday
and Wednesday at the Governor's
Summit for Higher Education.
Meanwhile, on campus, Palms
said the USC system is closer to
forming a tighter union.
"We hope we have very strong
voices speaking out at the summit,
especially in this pre-legislative
time," Palms said.
The summit begins Tuesday
evening and will run through Wednesday.
Topics to be discussed at
the forum include imnrovine stu
dent achievement, educational
partnerships for higher education,
economic development/quality of ]
life and improving quality and i
accountability.
"The events of late have forcibly 1
conveyed onto the legislators and '
the state the need for higher education.
Everywhere I go, the need is {
just so evident," Palms said.
"Now is the time to take this
topic very seriously. We need to 1
look at the re-allocation of our resources
to aid the most essential
needs of this state," he said.
In order to allocate more money
to education, legislators will have
to take away from other state
agencies. State budget experts said
revenue collections are down from
last year and whatever new money ,
comes into the state will go to pay
off debts from Hurricane Hugo.
However, current reports indi- ,
cate the state will get more Hugo
support from outside sources, freeing
up more money for higher education

"This is a very essential need
for our state, if not the most essential.
This state needs fine leaders
and higher education is important,"
Palms said.

When Palms released the state- ?
ment, he asked for all input on the
vision. Since then, Palms said he
lias received support from all inter- f
jsted parties.
"We're looking at a clearer
statement on the authority of the BvTI
campuses. We also want to look qc
into centralized services and if we jowr
need them or not," he said. is ais
Palms said his staff is looking
into other areas, including graduate
study program development and rhajr
