Thefirst thing an incomingfreshman must do before registering is open a checking account with plenty of money in it. The expenses of college come as a blow to a first-time student, and it seems that he is passing out fees and costs everytime he turns around. The first major expense is tuition, which takes a healthy chunk out of one's pocketbook, That initial 5100.00 goes mighty fast, considering it probably took two to three weeks of summer work to earn it. Next comes the motor vehicle regis- tration. Any student planning to park a car on campus must pay 55.00 for a little sticker with a number on it. Cet- ting stuck without a sticker can be a nasty situation which eventually leads to a trip to Student Affairs with a park- ing fine. Security really keeps an eye out for those red stickers. Third is the student activity fee of 55.00 per semester. Any student carrying twelve or more hours must paythetee which coversthe costofhis yearbook, copies of the weekly carn- pus newspaper, and any dances and concerts held by SAB.

The Student Activity Board also sponsored the Blood, Sweat, and Tears concert, which not only went over well with the students, but was our best Arkansas concert, said tour manager Alex Kochan. The Caddo provided a setting for students to visit with friends, catch up on assignments, and occassionally eat. S HASSLES There are so many hassles to starting the semester - like registering, paying tuition and room and board, getting an Ld, made, meal ticket - its all a part of starting out. LGTS T0 DO l4 But once the year starts rolling there is usually something to do on campus. Concerts, dances, coffee houses, Amy, movies . . . there REALLY IS lots to do... EVENTS 52 There is always the traditional - Miss HSU, special programs, the Bicentennial celebration, parties, and the not-so-traditional - plays, music, and how students spent spare time. EWSCOPE 56 The news of the year both locally and nationally played an important part in HSU's revolution. What did we do to help out during the crunch in economy? What did you pay for gas?

51+-72 Registration is only a beginning to meeting the bills of an HSU student. He pays 5200 a semester to take four or five courses. ,-4 v Ms. Dell Green readily accepts checks to cover tuition, room and board, and activity fees. i , l c K J, , Students find that selling their old books brings in a little extra cash for new books and added expenditures. The biggest bill for on-campus resi- dents is housing and Caddo costs, Since any student living in a dorm is required to eat in the cafeteria, resi- dents are held responsible for a check in the amount of 3488.00 for a seven day meal and housing ticket and S-148.00 for five days. Although many students complain about the food in the Caddo, it really is more economi- cal than eating out every day, and the cafeteria is a good place to catch up on gossip, The cost of on-campus housing has increased considerably in the past few years. In 197-1 it only cost 5388.00 to live in the dorms with a seven day meal plan, tuition however has remained the sarne. One device the university has employed in making payments is the installment plan, where students can pay room and board on a monthly basis-5122.00 for each month. It all adds up the same, but is a little easierto handle. Another major expense is books. Some teachers require two or more texts per course, and new books can cost a bundle. The Senate book ex- change is a good means of buying used materials, and when footing a college education, a penny saved is a penny earned. X1 Expenses!9
