dent Fees
The Winston-Salem State
University Board of Trustees
has recommended a seven per
cent increase in student fees
for the 1975-76 academic year.
The net increase in charges
for both in-state and out-ofstate
students would be
$116.00 for boarding students
and $43.00 for day students.
Total charges for in-statej
?
suuicnis would DC &i:>24.(X)boarding
students and $560.00
day students. Charges for
out-of-state students would be
$2893.00 - boarding students
and $1929.00 - day students.
Mr. Willie Grissom, Business
Manager at WSSU,
explain J that an increase in
fees is necessary to accomodate
the rise in the cost ol
living and for maintenance
and upgrading or services that
arc not state-supported. For
example, the State does not
provide money for the health
center, dining hall, dormitories
or student union. Nor
docs the State provide for the
construction or much needed
parking lots. With WSSU's
enrollment of over 1900
students, parking on campus
is at a premium. The initiation

The situation will not get
much better during the first
half of 1975 either. "The
American consumer is going
to be confronted with severe
yet moderating inflation and a
continuing threat of unemployment/'
This will mean
fewer dollars available for
spending.
The only bright spot for the

the average worker this would
mean more money to spend.

the economy will begin to
slowly improve.
