editor's note: this is the second in a two
part story dealing with dorm funding.
The process of dorm funding starts
with the individual student. The student
pays his housing rent to the Cashier's
Office. This office collects all fees paid

Accounting Dept., this money collected
is reported as a lump sum. The job of
Hollingsworth and the Accounting
Dept. is to evenly distribute all of the
money collected over a one month
period by the Cashier's Office.
He must distribute the money among
several categories such as housing,
social fees, student health and tuition.
If 100 per cent of the fees were paid in
the first month of each semester then
each of these categories would have
their accounts completely filled. Since
this is not the case, he designates a
certain percentage of the money
received for each of these accounts
(Student' Activities Fund Office
(SAFO), student health, tuition) and
sends a lump sum to the respective
recipients.
That means a sum of money reaches
SAFO which dispenses it among the
dorm accounts and other groups which
hold accounts in that office. Mrs.
Frances Sparrow, director of SAFO,
takes the money out to SAFO and
divides it evenly among the
organizations according to what each
should receive.

social scientific oral history orientation of
the articles' bulk. These informative and less
controversial pieces consider topics of a
cultural and artistic complexion. Lee
Smith's true life story "Paralyzed" stands as
a fascinating example of yet another
peculiarly Southern quality, that of a flexible
yet matter-of-fact verbal-written idiom. One

The amount to be received by the
dorms is based on the occupancy of each
particular dorm. On the second week of
school each semester the Housing Dept.
establishes the number of students living
in a dorm. A week later Dr. James
Condie, director of the Housing Dept.,
sends a report to SAFO which lists each
dorm and its number of residents. By
multiplying $6 times the number of
residents, the total amount of social
funds can be determined.
However, since the Cashier's Office
does not receive 100 per cent of the
student fees SAFO cannot receive its
full amount of money. "We don't expect
it all because we know how economics
works," Hollingsworth said.
Hollingsworth said as the semester
goes on the Cashier's Office continues to
collect money from the students. This
money is totalled up and is passed on to
each particular category.
Another reason for not receiving the
total allotment at one time is that a small
percentage of the total fees collected by
the Cashier's Office can be withheld for
adjustments made (withdrawal of
students from school, for example).

Much, however, must go unsaid. The
verse and photography can not be treated
justly here, nor can a number of other
articles readers may find noteworthy.
Indeed, Generations: Women in the South
will predictably remain an often referred to,
often cited, and frequently enjoyed volume
on the Southern Exposure publication list.
The richness of the volume gives it a weight
and impact that cannot be denied; yet for all
its content, the reader may feel a bit
overwrought by its vastness of scope, if not
its editorial shortcomings. Serious structural
defects plague the issue, but these in no way

This was 'agreed upon in September
1975 by Student Body President Bill
Bates and the University
Administration. The result is that
SAFO has some of its funds withheld.
Consequently, some of the dorms funds
are being withheld. But by June 30 all of
the funds collected by the Cashier's
Office are distributed.
For these two reasons, the treasurer
of a dorm will discover that his dorm's
account has not been fully funded by the
end of the spring semester. Many of the
dorm or high-rise residence college
treasurers contacted said the method of
spaced installments did not create a
problem in budgeting their funds. Many
go by what they estimate they should be
given by the end of the semester.
Karen Reynolds, treasurer of Cobb
Dormitory, said that her dorm spends
money according to what they should be
allocated.

article. Chances for enhancement of one
article by another have been missed or
overlooked, but then again, the sensitive and
thoughtful reader will find the appropriate
connections where and when they occur. All
in all, Generations is an issue consistent with
what has come to be expected from the
Institute for Southern Studies it is an
anthology at times quietly provocative, more
often openly aggressive, and always suffused
with energy.
