Increase in fees fails to stir student praise
By Connie Myers
The way to a college student's heart is through his wallet, or so it seemed when the Board of Regents announced the fee increase recently.
"What do you think of the fee increase?" is a question to which almost any answer could be expected.
Janet Whitmer, sophomore, Kansas City: "If they are going to enlarge the facilities or modernize some of the buildings, I'm all for it. I think a new humanities building would be a fine thing. KU is a good school; I don't think an increase in fees is unreasonable."
HARRY WILES, senior, Topeka:
"Seems as though the new increase might keep out-of-staters from coming to KU. I don't think it does much for public relations.
Getting kids to come here from other states is really important, and I don't think that raising fees is going to help much."
Zu Zu Duhaiyu, junior, Saudi Arabia: "I think the University is getting to be more and more commercialized. It's not only the fees, there are lots of other things too. I hope the ASC will investigate this fee raise next year, and find out exactly where the money is going. If it is not being used for University improvement, I think some action should be taken."
Jerry Long, first year law student, Humboldt: "I thought this was a state-supported school. They keep raising taxes and fees
well, I guess that's all right if you approve of double taxation. Everywhere the student turns, he gets hit up for more money. The University seems to be exploiting every revenue potential. I wish fees were the only things that were being raised. But if the Board of Regents feels this raise is justified in the light of future expenses, I have no right to condemn it. I only hope that it will help to provide a more efficient, comfortable university."
CAROLYN PAYNE, sophomore,
Salina: "It seems as though with
all of the people going to school
here that we wouldn't need a raise
in fees. But if they really have to
be raised, it would be nice if the students knew where the money is going."
Jane Laughlin, junior, Garden City; "It seems to be a very bad thing for out-of-state graduate students. A 141 per cent increase in fees is rather out of sight. It's too much of an increase in one jump."
Barbara Gates, senior, St. Louis: "The thing is that, if the school has what you need, and the fees aren't unreasonable, especially what you want to study is only offered at other universities that are a great deal more expensive."
ED BORCHARDT, graduate student, Kansas City: "I'm only going to school in the summer; I teach during the school year. All I can say is that a 141 per cent increase more than wiped out the pay raise any teacher is likely to get. I hoped to start my doctorate next year, but it doesn't seem too probable with the new fee increase. The ironic thing is that I pay state taxes in Kansas because I teach here; but since I live in Missouri, I have to pay out-of-state tuition."
Don Hunter, senior, Abilene; "I'm in favor of the new increase, if it's necessary to maintain a university and faculty of the quality which KU has. We have to compete with private schools; and by keeping a top-notch staff, we'll be in a much better position for such competition. I think the tuition at KU is still probably one of the lowest in the nation anyway."
Open house planned for today in Union
All students are invited to attend the Kansas Union open house today.
