  • Page THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY JANUARY 9, 1975 Trustees hike fees for 1975 - 76 Western Carolina's Board of Trustees unanimously passed four student fee increases at its December meeting here that will become effective next fall. The increases include: —$10 for meal tickets, raising the fee from $135 to $145 each quarter for next year. Last year the tickets were raised $15. —A change from $54 to $75 for the mandatory room damage deposit that applies only to new students next fall living in the dorms. —$1 for the quarterly athletic fee, raising that fee from $14 to $15. —A change from $25 to $30 for tuition for parttime out-of-state students. The Board was also told that applications for admission for next year were up from the same time last year. Tyree Kiser, director of WCU admissions, announced last week that 439 more people had applied through December 31 for next year than had applied the year earlier. In total, 1,137 have applied as compared to 698 last year, he announced. However, only 636 applications have been accepted while 501 were rejected. But that is a 49 percent increase over the 426 accepted at the same time last year, he said. When reached Tuesday, Kiser said he was not sure why there was an increase, but he said a growing dissatisfaction with community colleges, a winning football season, a new chancellor, and more available financial aid could be the reasons. Kiser said the community colleges were becoming less attractive due to the increase in gas prices which make it more expensive to commute to the schools. Also, the Board approved procedures that will activate the university's development foundation, naming five members to serve on the foundation's board of directors, and authorizing the expansion of the board to include another five members in the future. Named to the foundation board were James H. Glenn, chairman of the board of trustees; Chancellor H. F. Robinson; Jack M. Hennessee, vice chairman of the trustees; Thomas L. Mallonee, a trustee, and Mrs. W. Boyd Owen, secretary of the trustees. The revamping of the foundation, Robinson said, will establish it as the fund-receiving agency for all contributions to the university. Gifts designated by donors for specific purposes will be administered by the foundation to assure that contributions are spent in accord with the donor's wishes, he said. T. Carlton Holt of Waynesville, executive vice president of Dayco Corporation, was sworn in as a new trustee just prior to the meeting by Superior Court Judge Lacy H. Thornburg. Holt succeeds Hugh Gentry, who resigned. In other action, the board: Approved an access easement requested by Douglas Eye of Cullowhee across university lands.

Students will have to pay three dollars maximum for any overdue book turned in during the week. The original maximum fee has been five dollars. Balliot estimates that 1,000 books are being withheld by students who refuse to turn them in and pay the fines. But he added that the new policy would last for one week only starting Sunday through January 18. Overdue fines of less than three dollars will have to be paid in full, he said, and the policy does not apply to students who have already turned in books but refused to pay the fines. Five cents is charged for each day a book is held longer than the two week loan period up to a maximum charge of five dollars. Balliot also said lost book charges and other costs besides the overdue fines must be paid in full. , The policy results from a recommendation made by the Student Senate last fall which asked that a "fine-free" day be set to encourage students to return the books. «■ MWMMWWM tftMA^M X? , KARATE 2 Every Tuesday & Wednesday night » 7 p.m. Camp Lab School Fee: $25. o quarter
