Jo Ann Munn Funding Bases For Tax Supported Education In N. C. Dr. Ronald McCarter of Southeastern, in a recent interview, discussed his views on the funding of Tax Supported Education. Dr. McCarter feels that the North Carolina legislature’s way of funding isn’t adequate. The legislature bases its way of funding according to the enrollment of the institutions in question. The legislative judges on the three-party system: public schools, community colleges, and Universities. The public school funding is based on the best six of seven months. The university is judged by enrollment at the end of registration in fall and spring. The two semesters are averaged together. Community colleges are funded by enrollment at the end of each quarter. Enrollment is obviously lower at the Old of the quarter than at the beginning. What we have is the public school and university receiving 100 percent of its earned level and the community colleges earning only around 80 percent of its earned level with the enrollment in community college steady growing and the funding going down. Obvious problems are bound to occur. Some community colleges have Continued on page 4 SGA Cookout The Student Govern ment Association at S.C.C. sponsored an annual cookout March 14. Our students were served hot dogs with all the trimmings, potato chips, and cokes. We consumed six-hundred hot dogs, thirty bags of potato chips, and eight-hundred cokes. Some people who helped make our cookcut a success were Sue Hawks, Terry Carr, Fannie Moore, Judy Sarvis, Brenda Ebron, Jeannie Yarboro, Robert Brooks, and the maintenance department, who helped with the equipment. Southeastern has made it a tradition to hold a quarterly cookout, and we hope to continue this. Student government, along with Bob Priest, would like to thank the students for helping to pick up trash and for conducting themselves in an outstanding manner. Carolyn Shaw
