Where do our fees go? “The combined contingent, stu- dent service and building facilities fees are used to help meet the cost of con- struction and maintenance of buildings, campus, library, laboratories and to support various student services and activities,” according to the Student Handbook. Instructional programs are also partially financed by these fees. These combined fees total to $20 per semester hour during the regular academic year for Indiana residents. An additional $17 per semester hour is paid by out of state students. As stated above, there are three basic areas of fees that account for the student pay- ment. The contingent fee supplements the State budget along with other mis- cellaneous fees and fines to cover current university operations. These Poe . a 26 fees supply the working capital for money necessary in such departments as instructional areas, physical plant operations, administrative operations, Student Life Association, repairs, utilities and maintenance. Some of the fines collected would include library fines, change in course fees, parking fines and lab breakage fees. The building facilities fee is used for just that purpose stated—construc- ting academic buildings. The money collected from students helps to meet the cost of construction. The student service fee is directed towards student oriented projects as opposed to academic projects. Some examples are SGA, convocations, musical activities, women’s physical education activities and the Afro- American Cultural Center. Fe oa | for clean-up : ae - for repairs

Record phone call The record breaking phone call between the men of Sandison Hall and the women of Burford Hall ended at 10 a.m., November 13, when the phone went dead. The call lasted for 622 hours, sur- passing the old world’s record of 550 hours which was set at Kansas State University in 1966. Fifth floor in San- dison and sixth floor in Burford were the floors involved in the “phonathon.” Robert Hannel, a second semester junior majoring in manufacturing design, commented that he talked about height, weight, measurements, hair color, classes, hobbies, weather and future plans during his 45 hour phone conversation from Friday to Sunday. Hannel commented that he might try the phonathon again next semester with another dorm. Throughout the call records were kept as to who talked and for how long. The phone call equalled the world’s record on November 10 at 10 a.m. Expanding draft? The SGA’s Draft Counseling Service has expanded its activities to include veterans’ problems and has changed its name to the Draft and Veterans Counseling Service. According to the center’s director, Dave Howard, the change is due to the expected elimination of Selective Ser- vice inductions after June 30, 1973. Howard noted that despite the suspen- sion of inductions, the Selective Ser- vice System will remain intact. All of the system’s other functions, such as classification and examination, will continue. In addition to advising those still eligible for draft, the center also deals with the problems experienced by veterans. A major problem noted by Howard is the veteran’s adjustment from military regulations to civilian law. Regulations, he stated, differ among the various military bases. Howard said that the application of these regulations is based more on personalities than on fairness and justice. Another problem with which the center deals is the veteran’s adjust- ment to civilian courts. ‘Military courts,’ Howard stated, ‘‘haven’t recognized all the constitutional rights that a civilian court has.” SOSNDHAPYONS oh SO BNAAPYONS os Burford and Sandison break the world’s record for a phone call.
