Cuts Continued from Page 4 Less classes offered The budget cuts also strike the core of the university: the classroom. For year's, departments have been cancelling or offering fewer courses to deal with decreasing funding. The College of Applied Professional Sciences, among others, has had to eliminate sections of IC1UU11 tuuiscs. It has become increasingly difficult for the education department to offer courses on other campuses. In some universities, whole programs have had to be dropped. Journalism was dropped in one school, dentistry in another. In one Texas college, some classes are held in the coliseum for 11,000 students at one time, said Kay. That, at least, hasn't happened at use. "We don't have it as bad as some states," Turk said. "This university saw the signs enough in the future to capture enough savings to weather the storm." USC's administration is working Student use to help arn From Staff Reports Computers can be handy tools, just ask engineering senior Carl Whitesel and Cromer Food Services. During the spring semester someone was breaking into Cromer vending machines and stealing money, which led to the company posting $500 reward signs leading to the apprehension of the suspect inside of all the machines. *r>-ss ~ FN IMHIOl PURPO! THE U.S GOOD SCHOL now to arrange a budget allowing colleges to offer the courses required for a degree. But, there will be larger classes and fewer electives. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences has felt the hardest of the budget blows. It offers core curriculum to every undergraduate and its enrollment is 38 percent of all graduate and undergraduate students. In recent years, tne college nas had to drop 32 "core courses." But they have been reinstated with an emergency one-time only funding by USC President John Palms. Kay is working with the administration for a steady state budget which will keep the core curriculum healthy and keep up with growing enrollment. The College of Education built a professional development school program to provide a clinical setting for students and research. Thomas Surratt, associate dean of administration in the education college, said this program has been cut back to the point where it can no longer grow to keep up with national programs. In order to offer a "doctoral program in Journalism, some unders computer ist suspect Whitesel was working in the Swearingen Engineering Center in March and saw a man breaking into one of the vending machines. From there, Whitesel went to a nearby computer and drew a composite sketch of the man using graphics software. The sketch was taken to the USC Police Department and a man matching the description was apprehended. TheGa 7~7 / AY 'C PROGRi 3E: TO PRODUC !.
