Searc By J. T. WAGENHEIM Staff Writer A committee appointed by USC President Palms to search for a new provost and vice president of academic affairs has narrowed their nominations from 147 to fewer than 30, committee chair Don Greiner said. Greiner, who is also a USC English professor, said the committee is currently in the process of requesting letters of recommendation for each nominee.

Moore would not disclose how much the organization paid for Kris Parker, a nationally-known recording artist who was a main speaker at this year's "Salute to Black Americans." But junior Felix DeJesus, who attended the event, said the speaker was well worth the cost, regardless of how much it was. "While listening to his speech, it showed that black people can be successful although African Americans are looked down upon as citizens," DeJesus said. "He was very inspiring and made people want to listen." Despite the positive results from A A AS' funding uses, some student organizations that had their budgets cut are upset.

Kauffman went a step furthur and said, "It's because of their color that they get that much."
