Each individual must decide if it ' s worth it However, it is not fair to saddle the Board of Regents, the Legislature or Marshall ' s administration with such an apparent misallocation of financial and moral support. The majority of Marshall ' s popula- tion either must be satisfied with the situation or too preoccupied to take an interest. In a breakdown of student fees, $18.55 out of $73.30 goes to intercolle- giate athletics. But no dissident opin- ion was voiced when an additional $1.70 for athletics was approved. An increase was also approved for Marshall ' s residence halls - an addi- tional $39.13 per semester was added to the $837.50 for Towers. $793 for Buskirk. and $784.50 for Laidley. Hodges and South. On the other hand, Marshall exper- ienced several new developments dur- ing the academic year. The first 34 med school students began classes in January. Ground was broken for Aca- demic Building B. Earth samples were taken as the first step in the construc- tion of the multi-purpose athletic fa- cility. But the basic problems haunting Marshall ' s population remain. Living conditions in the dormitories sagged to even more decadent depths. Com- muters were still plagued with the dai- ly dilemma of finding a place to park. A state institution possessing all the inherent follies accompanying aca- demic emphasis, Marshall opens its doors to all who care to take up resi- dence in its hallowed halls of higher education. Has it all been worth it? Only each individual student can decide. WW Introduction
