2 Baker and Burney bit the dust. The two i residence halls were destroyed in June, taking ! with them a "honeycomb" legacy. A wrecking ball was used instead of implosion. According to Ed Bass, assistant director of facilities management, this was because a wrecking ball was less expensive. i Materials from the dorms were recycled, including furniture, ceiling tile, doors, lights, mirrors and bathroom fixtures. The cost of destroying the i *1 artan aaa i Duiiaings was $aua,uuu. The loss of Baker and Burney to demolition and the renovation of Maxcy, a residence hall located on the Hoipeshoe, will cost the department of housing $400,000. Eventually the remaining residence halls in the Towers will be demolished to make room for a new graduate science research center.

At a full board meeting in Sumter on June 21, USC's Board of Trustees passed a university system-wide budget which President John Palms called "a very difficult budget to face. We will not lose momentum, but we will not gain it a great deal." The budget includes a $35 technology fee and a 2.5 percent tuition increase. This year, resident students will pay $1;681 for tuition per semester, a $41 increase. Non-residents will pay $4,287, up from $4,162. Next year, students will pay a $50 technology fee per semester.
