Tuition hike
Trustees vote to raise semester hour cost $16
By KATHY CRAVEN
Ojrtlmift Staff
ACU students will pay $16 more per
semester hour beginning with the
1985 Summester I as approved by the
Board of Trustees In their annual
budget meeting Monday.
A tuition per hour increase of $11
plus a general fee Increase of $5 will
bring tuition to a total of $115 per
semester hour.
Room and board also will Increase
an average of six percent said Bill
Fowler assistant vice president for
finance.
The tuition increase is necessary to
maintain academic programs which
were never cut during the past two
years of low tuition increase.
It is also necessary because of the
growth iu the programs and the
"moderate raise of inflation" said
Fowler.
Tuition and fee increases have not
been as high in the past two years so
this increase is a "catch-up adjust-
ment" said Bill Fowler assistant vice
president for finance.
In 1984 tuition and fees increased
$5 while there was no increase in
1983 said Fowler.
If tuition had been raised at a more
steady rate this increase would not
have seemed to be as bigr said Fowler.
The 1985-86 school year budget is
$29.9 million 10.3 percent more
than the 1984-85 $27.1 million
budget.
AClTa budget is taken from tuition
endowments gifts grants and aux-
iliary enterprises said Fowler.
No financial aid opportunities will
be added because of the tuition In-
crease said Fowler.
However students will receive the
same amount of federal aid In 1985-86'
regardless of how the government
might cut Its college financial aid pro-
grams said Fowler.
Free
mailing
sought
ByKELUPOYNOfl
OptknMStttf
The Students' Association is in-
vestigating the possibility of free mall
privileges for mail sent on-campus
said Robert Pitman SA president.
The executive board of the SA will
discuss the issue next week in a private
meeting. The executive board consists
of Pitman; Dale Butler SA vice presi-
dent; Dodd Roberts SA treasurer; and
Jennifer Haltom SA secretary.
After the executive SA board meets
Pitman will approach the appropriate
administrative representatives next
week. The possibility of a free student
mail service will be discussed.
Other schools with free mail systems
were contacted by Ted Wininger
junior class senator in order to better
understand their systems said Win-
inger. Lubbock Christian College
Baylor University and Rice University
sent letters explaining their free stu-
dent mail services he said.
LCC has a United States post office
on campus just as ACU does Win-
inger said. The United States Postal
Service pays ACU to have a federal
post office otherwise a mail carrier
would be paid to deliver to dor-
mitories he said.
"Leao McDaniel the manager of
ACU's post office gave me a tour of
his office and explained his procedures
to me" said Wininger. "McDaniel is
very efficient. His staff delivers to 37
offices twice daily. McDaniel told me
ACU receives at least 18 sacks of mail
a day."
If a free campus mail service Is
adopted McDaniel wilt need more
help said Wininger. Four full-time
employees and 10 students are
employed by the post office at this
time said McDaniel. These employees
are paid by ACU.
Wininger said "A free mail system
would be a great service to students
and faculty members. Positive com-
munication is a plus for our school.
The free mall system would be an ex-
cellent opportunity for encouragement
among students" he said.
Wininger received a letter from
Shirley Williams mailroom supervisor
of LCC "I feel you are doing the right
thing trying to get this service for your
students" Williams said in the letter.
Wininger has been looking into the
free mail privilege for more than three
months. "This project was one of my
goals when I decided to run for the
position of junior senator" he said.
Visitors review lectures
By LAURA SMITH
OptknU Staff
Moody Coliseum could appropriately
have been renamed Reunion Arena
during the three days of Lectureship
when more than 2000 visitors
gathered under its roof.
Ray Wells preacher from Jasper
sald "It's always good to visit with
Mkiends" and his brother Doyle Wells
nf preacher form Huntsville Ala.
seconded Ray's opinion and said that
"One of the greatest advantages of
Lectureship is the renewal of
fIendshlp.
Visiting wasn't the only thing hap-
iiening in the coliseum however. The
ecrure on the theme "What the
Church Needs to Hear" were also con-
ducted In Moody.
Deacons elders preachers their
wives students and people from the
community gathered en masse to hear
the topics chosen by the Lectureship
iftdommlttee as. being the most Impor--Vnt
said Dr. Carl Brecheen Lec-
tureship director
"The tectum showed me that we
have stressed rules end regulation-
slnstead of attitudes; we need to
change our attitudes... Sometimes you
think these things and the lectures
help reinforce what you were think-
ing" said Doyle Wells
Paula Johnson from Fort Lauder
dale Fla. said she felt an "inner drive
to be a better Christian."
Others commented that the commit-
tee had done a very good job in selec-
ting the topics and the speakers for the
classes.
"The lectures covered a broad spec-
trum of subjects doctrinal and prac-
tical" said Mike Root visitor from
Fairfax Va. Root also said the lectures
gave him a lot to study and to think
about.
Norm Rhodes from West Monroe
La. said he thought the lectures were
timely helpful and what the church
needed to hear.
But some visitors had negative views
of the lectures.
Don Craford from Santa Anna
Calif. said he was "greatly disap-
pointed" In the lectures because of the
"sectarian" teaching in some of the
classes.
Craford said the grace of God and
grace in the brotherhood should have
been stressed more. He also said he
would have liked to hear more of the
Bible quoted.
"I think until this program comes
back to offer preaching fervency it is
not going to be what it ought to be"
said Cecil Hutson visitor from Katy.
"(The churches) need outstanding
teachers who can give us something to
go home with... They need to come
back to the book"
However Brecheen said one or
more doctrinal or "book" dosses were
available every hour of the schedule.
Todd Clifton of Abilene whose
company printed the annual Lec-
tureship book said the committee
picked the wrong speakers for the
main lectures because he would have
preferred to hear Johnny Ramsey or
Robert Taylor Jr.
The speakers and class topics are
chosen by the number of recommenda-
tions the Lectureship Committee
receives after they have chosen the
theme of Lectureship said Brecheen.
"We always try to chose themes that
are current and relevant and speak to
the people" Brecheen said.
The speakers are tent a list of topics
and are asked which they would be
most eager to address. "We ask them
for their first second and third
choices" said Brecheen. Most got
their first choice this year but a couple
had to take their second he said.
The theme for next year will be
"The Living Restoration" and will
require speakers with some special
training said Brecheen.
Those who would like to hear a cer-
tain speaker should send their recom-
mendations in to the Lectureship
Committee. However it takes more
than one recommendation to ensure
that a favorite Is picked for next year's
Lectureship Brecheen said.
