After extensive analysis of stu-
dent fee structures, the impact on
students of changing fees, and the
possible financial impact on SU, the
Board of Trustees, in meetings
Thursday and Friday, October 19
and 20, voted to raise tuition, room,
and board fees. The minimum total
increase was 7.5% for men and 7.8%
for women, while the maximum -
total increase was 8.1% for both
men and women.
According to Administrative Vice-
President and Provost Bill Jones,
the board also voted to take “nit
picking” fees out of the fee struc-
ture. Instead of charging separate
fees for phone and House Council,
these fees were incorporated into
the basic room charge. For in-
stance, the increase in residence
hall fee for the less expensive
rooms in Laura Kuykendall Hall
was $57.00. The actual increase was
$46.50 for the room, plus $8.00 for the
phone, plus $2.50 for the House
Council.
In other business, the Board ap-
proved the following changes in
Rank: Drusilla Huffmaster, from
associate to full professor; George
Nelson, from associate to full ,
professor; Farley Snell, from assis-
tant to associate professor; and
Kenny Sheppard and Gary-Richter,
from instructors to assistant
professors.
Tenure was granted to Weldon
Crowley, Bruce Mossman, and Nick
Sikes.
Vice President for Fiscal Affairs
Kirk Treible said the increases in
fees were necessary to keep pace
with inflation, so that the quality of
education here would not
deteriorate. He said that in in-
creasing fees, the Board of Trustees
-has committed itself to try to in-
crease income from other sources
such as the Brown Challenge. Trei-
ble said that utility consumption has
decreased at the rate that the Com-
mons costs might have gone up.
Treible said that the student must
bear the cost of living and eating so
that all money from endowment in-
ome goesdirectly into education.

The -Board Committee for
Academic Affairs expressed ap-
preciation for Mood-Bridwell Hall
and for work done by Vice President
for Fiscal Affairs Kirk Treible.
White papers were presented to the
Board by the academic deans con-
cerning the academic program of
the University. Jones presented a
paper concerning tenure to the
Board..
According to Treible the University
is close to the break even point in
the residence halls.
The Board officially elected Julie
Crain to serve as a student represen-
tative on the Board for two years.
Provost Jones said that her election
by the student body last year was
really a nomination to the Presi-
dent. The President, in turn,
nominated her for that Position to
the Board.

Jones said that most of the
business conducted by the Board
was “housekeeping,” with no “earth
shaking” amendments made.
The Board, in response to
questions by the Board Committee
on Student Affairs and Religious
Life, requested that a long range
study on housing be conducted. The
study is to look into plans and direc-
tions that the University may have
concerning Ruter and other dor-
