Beardsley performed at the US' ) Showcase, an event to recruit sti dents and promote USC.

Budget S& Club l^^gndingl IH2 By TIGE WATTS Managing Editor Editor's Note: This is the first of two articles concerning the funding of (JSC student organizations. The articles are intended to educate the public about how organizations are funded and the challenges they face in acquiring their funding. Deciding how to fund mac than 200 student organizations and clubs can be frustrating. Every year the student Senate Finance Committee determines how much money the organizations receive. However, committee members say some people are unhappy with the allocation process and are questioning it Student Government allocates money to the clubs from student activity fees, which consist of $35 from each stuaent s tuition eacn year. Fraternity wins awards By JEFF WILSON Staff Writer USC's Zeta Epsilon chapter ol Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity has been named the organization's Chapter of the Year. The award was given at a con vention in Charleston. "I was happy when I found ou we won," said Scott Sayers, 1991 service chairman. "I wasn't happ) for mvself.

That $100,000 went toward & paying adviser salaries, instead of ^ staying in a contingency fund for ^ emergencies. F Those two factors make allocating funds to clubs even more difficult h than in past years, former Student c Body President Manish Shrivastava said.

Shrivastava agreed. "They're goig to have to prove themselves to le finance committee." "They should clearly outline what ley want to do to serve the USC ommunity," Shrivastava said. "Genrally, the underlying basis is those vho contribute the most will get the nost." He also said the committee wants i give clubs all the money they revest, but is not able to because of imited funds. "The clubs just have to rove their intentions," he said. One way a club can show its insntions is through its historical reord, Dell said. "One thing the Senate looks at is iow a club has spent the money in he past and how long they've been round.

"There are intensive budget hearings, and the committee gets a pretty good idea of who's contributing the most to the community," he said. A club's presentation for funding requests is also vital, Stuck said. "A lot of people come into the hearings very straightforward. They show proof of how successful their programs have worked in the past," Stuck said. "They should look at how they show proof of how successful their programs have worked in the past," Stuck said.
