Fees for non-resident undergraduates ere raised from an $820 flat rate per jmester to $990 for 1 5 credit hours, but ere lowered to $792 for 12 credit hours. Resident graduate student fees were icreased 16.1 percent, while non- ;sident graduates incurred on 18.8 per- 2nt increase. lU President John Ryan said the new stem should raise needed revenue and ill not be a detriment to those students ho carry less than 1 5 hours and work to jpport themselves. In spite of this bad news, the summer ill supplied interest and excitement. On riday, June 10, Ail-American lU center ent Benson signed a six-year contract ith the Milwaukee Bucks.

lU welcomes slow pace o ii by Tim Martin Between May 7-9, lU-Bloomington ' s student enrollment dropped from more than 30,000 to less than 6,000. Students flocked homeward in droves, dormitories closed, and groundskeepers re-seeded bare-trodden campus paths. Summer school had begun. To the 5,779 students who attended the first five-week session, summer school meant a reprieve from the usual rigors of academic life. Class periods were longer but less formal, as students carried a maximum of nine credit hours. The fewer number of classes taken over a shorter time period (in comparison with the regular semester) seemed to make students ' loads more organized. Undergraduate summer students who lived in residence halls stayed in GRC, while graduate students lived in Eigen- mann. The remaining residence halls were either closed for the summer or housed the many workshops, institutes 16 and summer programs held on campus. One such program was the Interna- tional Cheerleader Conference (ICC) which ran from Sunday, June 26 to Thursday, June 30. The conference ' s 90 participants, who lived in McNutt Quad, came from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Par- ticipants learned cheers and drills and competed for daily awards. Another program which ran for the en- tire eight weeks of the second summer session was the Groups Special Service ' 77 program. Groups is a year-round program for fi- nancially and academically deprived stu- dents, who, otherwise, would not be able to attend college. The summer program involved approximately 300 high school students. A federal grant funded room and board, tuition, books and spending money for the program members. Students in Groups lived in Teter Quad and took regular college classes in the University Division curriculum. In addi- tion, they learned academic discipline and study habits to help them in future college years. Students selected in the program were s recommended by their high school prin- ' j cipal, counselor or local social worker asi; having college potential. Recommendec students were then isited by Universityl Division representatives who made tha final selection. , Besides the cheerleading conferenctj and Groups ' 77, the lU-Bloomington: campus hosted a variety of other worki, shops. These included the High School Journalism Institute, football and basket ' ball camps headed by lU coaches, musi(i, programs and student leadership confer ences. As the summer raced on, students dis covered they ' d have a new thorn in thei| sides come fall. On June 1 7, the lU Boom of Trustees approved the first tuition in ' crease since the 1 973-74 fiscal year. Th :, 13 percent hike meant an increase fror ;j $361 to $405 for Indiana residents carry, ,|| ing 15 hours in the fall of 1977. While the fee for a 1 5-hour course loa went up, the fee for a 12-hour cours load went down to $324. The $361 fee r past semesters reflected the hourly re y iy ti I lie ei
