Fees Increase

A substantial increase in fees may be proposed to the executive soon. The Studass fee is at present $19 and it seems that the increase could be as much as six dollars.

The last increase was in 1970 when fees rose from $13 to $19: this will therefore mean an effective increase of over 90% in three years. Association Treasurer Richard Greenfield commented on the proposal: "The present financial situation of the association certainly makes an increase desirable."

Rising costs of administration coupled with increased building and student activity commitments are the main reason for the suggested increase, and it seems that little of the increase will be free to be allocated to any widening of activities.
