ANSWER:$84, Source: Harper's Index E 7 debated organizations budgets and allocated $1.25 million student activity fees during a committee meeting Saturday. Of the $1.25 million, the Senate Finance Committee is responsible for allocating money to the undergraduate and graduate organizations. Undergraduate and graduate organizations receive $87,903 of the fees. Graduate organizations will get $18,975, and $68,928 will go to undergraduate organizations. Currently, 270 undergraduate and graduate organizations exist at USC and are eligible to receive money from student activity fees. However, only about 60 organizations submitted budget requests for the 199798 fiscal year. These organizations requested a total of $230,343.50. This means that $142,440.50 will have to be cut from the budgets. Student Government Treasurer Peter Siachos said the requests from each organization "in no way reflect the final amount of money we will allocate." Among those requesting the most amounts of money were the USC Dance Company, $13,550; NAAC?, $18,075; Model United Nations, $11,280; Mortar Board Senior Honor Society, $22,000; and the Association of African American Students, $23,455. Another large request came from the Carolina Debate team. The team requested $8,192.50, even though their total budget is more than $38,000. 1997-1998 1 American Marketing Asso. _l Gamma African American Student Nurses Net Golden Key National Honor Society Chi Delta Chi Veteran Honor Society Carolina Student Asso. for Education American Society of Mechanical Engi Omicron Delta Kappa German USC Dance Company Student National Pharmaceutical Ass Geology Club ed Carolina for Kids Concert Choir Habitat for Humanity- Student Club m Open Door m Puppet Regime Student Advertising Federation in Statistics Club Society of Automotive Engineers 13 Pi Tau Sigma Alpha Lambda Delta Freshman Bono of SHARE 7n Beta Alpha Psi 3 Campus Judicial Board Into the Streets 111 Anthropology Student Asso. he National Asso. for the Advancement o t.

"If the program is not funded at that level, the part of the program that caters to inexperienced debaters will be cut appropriately," Berube said. "Hence, you are funding that part of the debate program which any student can participate." Another organization that wrote a letter to the Senate Finance Committee to help deter a smaller allocation than they requested is Carolina Cares. Last year, The Gamecock highlighted Carolina Cares and the low allocation for the annual University Tree lighting and Diversity Celebration, which is sponsored by Carolina Cares. This year, Carolina Cares President Mandy Benjamin requested a total of $3,266, most of which will fund the treelighting ceremony. According to Benjamin, the tree lighting will require extra money this year because the 1996 tree was vandalized and destroyed. "All of our decorations, lights and garland were destroyed. I will need all of the money I can to get to start over fresh in 1997," Beqjamin said in the letter to the Senate Finance Committee. The Finance Committee will post the allocations today along with the procedure to appeal, Finance Committee chairwoman Kimberly T. Baxter said. Appeals will be heard after the Senate meeting Feb. 19.
