15 PAYING BILLS

Page 18 text:

14 By Carl Forester Staff Writer Wait a minute! It's time to sit down and look where our money is going. Tuition for 9,472 students, as we are all painfully aware, went up some 2335 for in-state students, and more for out-of-state stu- dents. The registration fee for Tennessee residents for 1980 for 42 semester hours or more was $246 com- pared to $357 this fall. Out- of-state tuition in 1980 was 3747 compared to $765 this fall. Added to the tuition of $765 was a registration fee of 5357, bringing the total for ouf-of-state students to $4,422. Housing in one of over 44 residence halls cost from $250 to $337 as we returned this fall. We also paid $3909semester for rent in our two apartment-style dorms. Married student housing and the new gra- duate student apartments in the basement of Carter Hall ranged between $120 to $445 per month. Added to the rent for all these types of housing was a tele- phone charge of $35 per se- mester, where phones were available Then there is Off-campus housing, either in rooming houses or apartments. Rooming houses ranged from $30 to 850 per month, while apartments ranged from $75 to $300 per month, depending on size and lush- ness. Meals still seem to be a bargain in our university cafeterias and restaurants. For the 2i-meals-per-week tseven breakfasts, lunches and dinners, or 297 meals per semester; we paid PAYING BILLS WHERE DID All. 34 l2.4 4 per semester. That's an average cost of $4.39 per meal Remember, if we are eating in the boarding cafetria that's all-you-can- eat. For the lS-meal plan Uive breakfasts, lunches, and dinners; we paid $387.73 for 214 meals per semester. That is $1.839meal on the aver. age. On the lO-meal plan, we received any 10 meals during se ven days for a se- mester cost of 8355. 99 M42 Tuition UP 23 percent As EVERYONE KNOWS bills must be paid by September 7 or late fees wlll be Imposed. Remember the Ilnes In the Buslness Oftlce on the seventh. INCREASING INFLATION CAUSED a rise In many areas of student life, but ARA Food Sorvlce still seemed to offer good Iood at ialr cost. meals per semesters. That's an average-cost per meal of $2.54. For those students who chose not to purchase a meal plan, the cost was 3 i. 70 for breakfas t, $2.40 for lunch and dinner, and $3. 50 for special meals in the boarding line. Other campus facilities charge more for specialty item menus. By buying a meal ticket, we should be able to save the equivalent of $23 4.00Aemester, or as our ARA food service says, the equivalent of: o 75 six packs of your fa- vorite recreational be v- erage . 70.5 pink lzod shirts, in- cluding o$ sales tax 0 Books and supplies for one year 0 or an extravaganza ex- cursion to Lizard Lick, Tn. Buying books is always an easy way to spend large amounts of money. The buyeback policy is still in force at a little more than one half the value for those books which will be used next time: that is, if there isn't already a surplus of them on hand. We also paid $3 per se- mester for a post office box so we could receive letters from home, overdrawn no- tices from the bank, and junk mail. We also paid a 82 picture fee to have our pictures put in the yearbook. Speaking of the student publications, we received 30 copies of the East Tennessean news- paper per semester and a copy of the BUCCANEER yearbook, both of which are included in maintenance fees.
