Board to Investigate Residence Hall Funds
More than $30,000 in student-fund accounts with the offices of the deans of men and women will be investigated by executive board members of the Association of University President (AURH) this summer, according to Phil Friickey, Oberlin junior and AURH president.
This is the first year such a detailed accounting will be given to AURH, Frickey
The report follows an earlier investigation that revealed money from residence hall boncoach machines had been used to bookings for the dean of women's office library.
THE PURPOSE of the accounting is to show where all funds were spent, Frickey said. He said he didn't expect any problems during expenditures in the 1974 fiscal year.
The administrative fund is financed from an activity fee paid by each student in a year. The administrative fund is the year, $2.50 of the $1$ activity fee went to two administrative funds. One fund is through the hand of men's office and the other by the dean of women's office. Frickey says:
A financial report of the student organizations showed a balance in the dean of women's administrative fund of $13,977 for the 1973 fiscal year. The dean of men's administrative fund had a balance of $3,478 for the same period.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, said the part of difference was because the women were more liberal than men. $2.50 to the fund in the dean of women's office but not to the fund in dean of men's

Wollmann said the increase in the health fee would build the reserve fund only enough to protect against an epidemic or natural disaster.
A proposed insurance contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield for next year will also be approved.

AURH will also look into three funds in the dean of women's office—the Women's Residence Hall Fund, the Inter Residence Center Fund, and the Women's Residence Halls Library Fund, be held.
The Women's Residence Hall fund showed a balance of $15,107 at the end of Fiscal 1972. This fund, according to Taylor, includes budgets for the organization and budgets of the women's resident halls. The practice of combining these balances into this fund was discontinued last year, she said.
BALANCES ARE NOW LEFT in the individual hall accounts, according to Taylor, but $1,000 still exists in the fund. The $700 of the funds owned by Hastiner, Lewis and GSP-Corballs bills.
The Inter Residence Council showed a balance of $594 at the end of Fiscal 1973. Although this fund is no longer active, Taylor said, it originally was for an all-women organization made up of the presiding members in the residence. The money came from donations from halls and money-making projects, she said.
The Women's Residence Halls Library Fund showed a balance of $399 for Fiscal 1973. This fund, according to Taylor, is used for the women's residence halls and is used for their libraries.
Graduate students who participate in student government face "academic suicide," according to Larry McDermott, an assistant professor in western civilization, assistant instructor in western civilization.
McDermott said recently that the present system of graduate student representation wasn't "cognizant of the work loads of graduate students," particularly those of assistant instructors (AIs) and teaching assistants (TAs).
John Whalen, Alexandria, Minn., graduate student and member of the Graduate Studies Committee of the College Assembly, said that because of the heavy work loads, graduate students didn't have effective representation on the College Board.
THE UNIVERSITY SENATE CODE requires representation of graduate students on the College Assembly and on all committees concerning graduate studies. But until recently there has been no resource to implement such representation.
A program of reform and decentralization of the Graduate School from 1966 to 1973 has been instrumental in providing graduate student representation, according to Howard Baumgartner, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He also said that an "avenger participation" and a "direct voice" in university governance.
Prior to decentralization, Baumgartler said, the Graduate School served as a "superstructure" for most programs of graduate study at the University. Department heads had to answer to both the deans of their schools and the dean of the
The Student Senate probably will approve a requested $15,000 increase in subsidy to the Lawrence Bus Co. at the senate meeting tomorrow night, Steve McMurray, Norton sophomore and senate Transportation Committee chairman, said yesterday.
However, the request, which was made the first week in April probably won't cause an increase in student bus prices, McMurry said.
"We have to get the increase," Ogle said. If the increase isn't granted, service might have to be discontinued, he said. But it doesn't look that serious vet.
The increase was requested because of rising costs of fuel and the need to replace equipment, according to Duane Ogle, owner of the Lawrence Bug Co.
Senate Expected to OK Bus Subsidy Increases
"The Student Senate and the student body realize the importance of the bus service to campus and the community," McMurry said.
He said he thought the senate wouldn't jeopardize the service because it would be costing more.
Grad School Governance Debated
McMurray said the cost for the bus service next fall would be paid for by the transportation privilege free, bus fares and bus pass sales, which he anticipated would
If there is any excess in the transportation fund at the end of the year, as there has been in the past, McMurray said, this will be used to help defray the added expense.
Plans are eventually to ally bus fees and bus pass prices and to phase out the transportation privilege fee, McMurray said. He said he didn't know how feasible this is because he hadn't yet received training in several studies being done on the proposal.
Graduate School, Under the new system, Baumgartel ment, many activities of the old Graduate School have been shifted to each institution; in addition, the College Assembly bylaws were revised in 1973, as part of the reform plans, provide for graduate student representation.
"It's not a lack of interest or apathy," McBermott said. "To get into the present structure for representation is nigh on to academic suicide."
William J. Argeringer, dean of the graduate school and vice chancellor for research in graduate studies, said that the graduate student course load is representative to he acknowledged that the graduate student course load was heavy and prohibitive of involvement in the course.
"THE TRADITIONAL, historical theory is that graduate studies serve as a kind of apprenticeship for professional, academic life," Argerauer said.
Walen also said there were other risks involved in participation in the College Assembly. He said the graduate student who attended Assembly meetings and spoke on various issues might jeopardize his job, but he graduated grades and the completion of his degree.
But these risks weren't unique to graduate students, Argersinger said.
"FOR THE FIRST TIME in recent history, the issues and problems of graduate students are being discussed in the College Assembly, along with university officials. However, McCormitt said that graduate students had only legal representation despite a "very sincere" desire of the faculty for genuine representation. He said he had failed thus far, "except for a real sacrifice, individuals who've made real sacrifices."
"They (graduate students) face the same risk any faculty member faces if he doesn't trust his colleagues to be fair and impartial." be said.
Arnold H. Weiss, assistant dean of the graduate school, said he could conceive of a program that would be free.
"I don't know of any graduate faculty member who would shoot down a student for something he said in a meeting," Weiss said.
McDermott said two possible solutions to the problem would be to reduce the work
McMurray said he thought Ogle's request was justified. Fuel prices will have increased 100 per cent by August, McMurray said. Fuel costs will be 22 per cent higher than last year.
Richard Paxson, Baxter Springs senior and student senator, said the bus company would be more economically sound if it bought the new buses it needed.
