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.

According to a letter from the debate
team's adviser, David Berube, to the
Senate*Finance Committee, the amount
requested will fund the part of the debate
program that trains students with no
debate experience.
"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.
