Show Money request clarified Increased enrollment adds pressures at SU CEDAR CITY - Coping with significant enrollment pressues, Southern Utah State College has requested several new faculty and staff positions in hearings before the State Board of Regents. SUSC President Gerald R. Sherratt this week clarfified his request to the Regents for four faculty positions for the 1983-84 year one each in mathematics and computer science, business, communications and teacher education. Staff positions were requested for the areas of admissions, development, student services and faculty improvement. Each faculty position request included in-cluded funds to cover salary, benefits and a comprehensive current expense budget. The current expense budget includes supplies, equipment and travel for the position. A total of $34,500 was requested for each faculty position-including position-including support funds. Support funds were also requested for each of the staff positions needed. "The college has employed a budgetary strategy that as new positions are needed, requests for additional funds will include adequate amounts for current expenses related to the position," Sherratt explained. "That way operating, travel and equipment appropriations are tied to the position; and a realistic allocation will be made to support the faculty or staff position." The largest amount in the staff positions request was $69,100 for the development (private fund raising) function. "For the first time, we want to build a sufficient budget base to advance a strong fund-raising program for SUSC," Sherratt said. SUSC also requested an allocation of $81,700 to attempt to cover rising support costs, many of which are climbing faster than the overall inflation in-flation rate. Increasing costs of paper, printing, hourly wages, equipment and physical plant expeases are to be covered by the requested funds. The budget request is now being considered by the Regents. Once a determination is made, the budget will be submitted to the state legislature in January. A A. P; 1 vrs (sit ; f-T) .
