"It does little harm to
close down the campus during
times like those," McCabe said.
"TSU will basically do the same
thing this summer."
The other large cost-
Senate Bill 111, which requires
TSU to return the $222,000 to the
state—coupled with the utility
shortfall, composes the $400,000
deficit.
Other ways of dealing
with this shortfall will be the cur-
tailing of departmental operating
funds such as those used for fac-
ulty travel, McCabe said, as well
as new requests for equipment.
New position hirings will also be
scrutinized much more carefully,
and not approved so readily.
"As a general principle
we will look harder at each and ev-
ery expenditure," McCabe said.
"We don't want to sacrifice student
service or quality. A student's
progress toward a final degree will
be uninterrupted. I'm committed to.
that. But there will be some
changes. Students might not be
able i.o <ret «chedt]le<\ Imt
they will get what they need. All
essential services will be pro-
tected. We're here to make sure the
students get their education."
The fee increase of five
percent which was implemented
specifically to fullfil financial
maintenance needs, will affect
only students using student hous-
ing, and is an increase that has
nothing, at all to do with the cur-
rent budget crunch, said McCabe
and TSU Vice President for
Business Affairs Larry Bicket.
"The folks that pay the
extra five percent will benefit from
it," McCabe said.
The memo McCabe sent
in February to TAMUS Interim
Chancellor Dr. Edward A. Hiler-
that was subsequently approved-
requested the following five per-
cent increases:
FOR REGULAR
SEMESTER:
* Coed Dormitory --
$805 to $845
* Apartments
$805 to $845
* Crockett,
Ferguson, Hunewell Halls
and University Apartments
- $676 to $710
* Bender, Moody,
and Gough Halls -- $541 to
$568
* Lewis Hall $464
to $487
FOR SUMMER
SESSIONS:
Coed Dormitory --
$288 to $302
* Apartments
$288 to $302
* Crockett,
Ferguson, Hunewell Halls
and University Apartments
- $ 242 to $254
* Bender, Moody,
and Gough Halls — $196 to
$206
* Lewis Hall $176
to $185
Bicket said that TSU has
had the most competitive of hous-
irtg fee costs in the past and will
continue to stay at that level, even
with the five percent increase.
"We're continuing to try
to upgrade and improve the
dorms," Bicket said. "It will be a
significant improvement. We'll
continue to work towards that
goal."
Vice President for
Student Services Dr. Johnny
Johnson agreed with Bicket's
assessment of the situation.
Bicket said that the in-
crease in dorm fees was approved
in concept as early as last
November by former TSU
President Dr, Barry B. Thompson.
McCabe referred to the
increase as a way of resolving
problems caused by "deferred
maintenance."
"It's the wheel that
doesn't squeak as bad as the
others," McCabe said. "And you
tend to defer dealing with the
squeak until it becomes a crisis.
This five percent will insure that
deferred housing area problems
will be dealt with sooner and be-
come less of a problem."

This will become evident
after the increase in the form of
new tiles for the dorms, paint jobs
and facility upgrading, McCabe
said.
Also, the increase will
not affect the charges for any TSU
meal plans, Bicket said.
"Too many students use
meal plans at TSU," Bicket said.
"We decided that because of that,
an increase in meal charge was
unnecessary."
Starting this fall, TSU
will raise the current computer ac-
cess fee $l,per semester credit
hour, raising the exact price to $3
per semester hour. Ttiis fee will be
compulsory for each student at-
tending Tarleton State University.
Bicket described the
computer access fee charge as
essential because of the lack of
storage space and memory capacity
on the current TSU computer.
"The computer has be-
come saturated," Bicket said. "The
fee increase will be to enlarge
computer capacities and capabili-
ties. We're adding a second CPU
[Central Processing Unit] to in-
crease that capacity."
This, Bicket said, will re-
spond to the needs of faculty, staff
and students and will decrease the
processing rate time because of the
extra CPU.
The Texas Legislature
does not recognize the need to fund
computers and does not provide
money for it. This leaves TSU to
its own devices to achieve enough
cash, Bicket said.
"If they did, this increase
would not be necessary," Bicket
said.
TSU has added
incrementally to the computer
access fees in the state in the past
only as they were needed, Bicket
said.
"The $3 fee is basically a
standard cost throughout the
state," he said. "And after we im-
plement this increase we don't an-
ticipate the need for for another in-
crease. Ever."
