The Student Government Associa-tion has recently passed several 1:e8olutions ,stating that even-ing school students should be ,aLssessed an activities fee of ""venty dollars as are the day qudents. An interview with Dr. Charles . Onion, Director of Evening 801001, revealed the fact that llI office had received a letter f"")rn the SGA on November and, announcing the introduc-tion of the resolution. He made 4n attempt to reach the Senate hut received no further corn-tnunication. Among the 2,580 evening eoehool students, many are mar- 11'0 adults with jobs during the day or are graduate students. Therefore, they have no need N* the services the activities qfer. As of now, they pay eigh-teen dollars per credit hour and 4 five dollar registration fee. ,PrIlleY use the library but the li-ul'ary stays open mainly for the use of the day students; the evening school ends at 9 :40 p.m. and the library closes at 10 p.m. Last year the evening divi- 31071 department took a survey 'c't the evening school students concerning the possibility of their purchasing activity pass-els. The pass would have only been on an optional basis. Little Initerest was aroused because it Was felt evening school students have little time for outside ac-tivities. Since at no time are all the evening students together, ecenmunication is only done through announcements in class, letters, or by telephone. There-fore, they rely little on publica-tions, another service paid for by the activity fee. Dr. Onion, in summing up his opinion said that there should not be an activity fee ""on the ground's that evening college 'students do not need it.""

The much-discussed Student (Continued on page 6) December 15, 1967 Deficit Spending Issue Brought Before Committee The Financial Committee of the SGA is in the process of re-vising the financial structure of the Student Government. The reason for this revision is that the SGA is now deficit spending and the financial policy must be revised to cope with this situa-tion. The changes are also di-rected at alleviating the recur-rence of this situation. It was suggested that a re-alignment of the percentages of SGA funds was in the offing. This re-alignment might include the discontinuing of funds now given to religious and political Organizations. As a meeting held to review the situation concluded, the possibilities of in-creasing the activities fee and of charging students for vari-ous activities were discussed; no decisions were made, how-ever. Jess Barkley, SGA treasurer, pointed out that the proposed changes were only tentative and welcomes any suggestion about further changes in the finan-cial structure. Suggestions may be directed to the Tower Light or the Student Government of-fice. The Financial Committee an-nounced at a meeting recently that the Snack Bar will handle all catering for student activi-ties and that the food used will be available at wholesale pric-es. Barkley, who chairs the Fin-ancial Oommittee, also announc-ed that any student who has failed to meet his obligation of payment of a student loan will have his grades withheld and will not be allowed to reg-ister.
