Because of the growing student body and the increased cost of so-cial events and services provided by the SGA, three alternatives in fee policy must be faced, accord-ing to President Charlas Johnson. These consist of: 1. increasing social fees by up to $15 over the next three years. 2. freezing the fee at $30 and terminating several social services 3. adoption o'f a new financal policy which would be similar to a pay as you go plan. The proposal was tabled and then discussed extensively by the Senate. Under Johnson's plan, the policy would put the major bur-den of payment for activities and services on only those students who use them. The SGA president explained that some organizations requested large sums of money for projects and conventions that benefit only a small number of students.
