'Squeeze' On Yearbook
That perennial headache, the budpjet, is making; itself felt
in publications, specifically the Campus, a 296-page yearbook
that will arrive in early June.
The Board of Publications has gone on record as favoring
an increase in student reservation fees from $1 to $1.50.
Needless to say, the"~proposal met stiff protest from .Mac
Keithley, Campus editor, and Dr. John Duke, advisor.
Major advocates of the proposal were Student Body Presi¬
dent Marv Baxter and Earl Whitfield. The first reservation
fee was levied three years ago as a solution to the problem
of having hundreds of yearbooks not picked up when they
were delivered on campus in June. The 50 cent fee solved the
problem and no books were left over.
The fee was passed by the Student Council with reserva¬
tions that it be raised 50 cents every year. It hasn't been
raised for the past two years.
The argument has been that eventually students will be
paying for the yearbook twice: once in the student body card
and once in the reservation fees.
As a protest the lone applicant for editorship of the
Campus next year has withdrawn the application. But The
Collegian feels this is a foolish move and shows no effort at
compromise.
The added fees which an extra 50 cents paid by 2,600
students will save approximately $1,300 from the Campus
budget, which does not need to be cut.
Keithley feels that if he were coming back next year and
were offered editorship of the yearbook based on the current
budget, he "would not touch it with a 10-foot pole." Keithley
maintains the same number of reservations can not be sold
The yearbook editor proposed an increase in student body
card fees to help cover the reported $10,000 deficit in the
Association budget.
Students at the University of California voted a $15 in¬
crease in student body card fees this year.
Can it be done here? No, says the Association, Yes, would
say a petition signed by a-sufficient number of students. It
is much better to pay extra fees openly than be charged with
hidden or double fees.
If something isn't done, say the Campus staff, there
might not be a yearbook next year.
CAMPUS FORUM
Ex-Editor Against Yearbook Fee Increase
Dear Ed I
I would like to take this op¬
portunity to express my views
on tho possibility of raising the
reservation fee for an FSC year¬
book  from   Si   to  (1.50  or more.
1 am against any such move
and 1 hope other students will
protest such an Idea. The first
reservation fee was levied three
years ago as a solution to the
problem of having hundreds of
yearbooks not picked up when
they were delivered on campus
In June. The 60 cent fee solved
the problem and no books were
left over.
- At the time students voted for
the reservation fee they were
not told that the purpose of the
move was to make tho yearbook
self supporting or that It was
to raise money for the Associated
Students. Students were told that
the GO cent fee was.to solve the
problem of several thousand year¬
books that were left over.
Then the fee was raised to Jl.
Now it has been proposed to raise
It again. Don't students realize
that eventually they will be pay¬
ing for a yearbook twice, when
actually they are entitled to one
by buying two student body
cards a year?
Don't students realize that
they are being taken advantage
of by a small group that has
twisted the original meaning of
the proposal? I reallxe that more
money is needed next year by the
Association If It Is to grant tbe
budgets that have been proposed
for next year. But I certainly do
not feel that those students who
want a yearbook should be the
ones   to   make   up  the  difference

Did   you   know   the   average   college   student   spends   12.5 00   <
This will come as a surprise to most of you. some because It

latter group, It la hard to understand Just how we could up

Reporting on a recent survey conducted ot Bates College. "Col
and University Business" stales that parents provide funs for 64
cent of the anau.lt bill. Students obtain the other
36 per cent from loans, scholarships and their
own earnings.
The bulk of the Individual student's annual
expenses goes to the college. At Bates, the com¬
bined coats of tuition, room and board, nnd fees
mounted to J2.015. On tho average, sludenla apent
$117  for clothes.  $70  ror textbooks and  $115  for
Women (naturally) reported spending more than
men by Just a shade over two dollars. However.
both   the   highest   and   lowest  amounts  were  spent

An  estimated  five  million  Americans suffer  from  nlcohollsm.  the

liquor.   Of   these   compulsive   drinkers,   nn   estimated    7*ft.000   are

Alfoliolics Anonymous are valid  indications. Closed AA  meetings in
big cities are almost evenly divided as to sex.

Here's   something   that   escaped   the   censor:    Despite   the   recent
warm weather, Homan Hall was flooded for several nights last week.
That Is someone kept sneaking Into the Janitorial closet and turning
on water faucets. The closets were locked. The culprits have been
discovered, and  may be suspended from school. Unfortunately one
a senior up for graduation.

The   situation   Is   extremely   bad   when   advisers   must   beg   for
to edit the school yearbook. Students should clamor for the
an honor and a lot of fun, plus a lot of work. One student
applied for editorship of the Campus, then withdrew the application.

Higher and higher It goes, and where It will stop nobody knows.
The tuition, that Is.
An article In College and University Business slates that if colleges
and universities refuse to Increase tuitions to a "realistic level" their
campus may soon look something like ghost towns. Seems to us that
It should be "decrease tuitions to a realistic level."
Thought for the day: It's a good thing the world turned out to be
round. Just think what a square sattellte orbit would cost!
resulting   from   a  lack  ot funds
for the increased budgets.
