Tfan sfe crs MJU (WW lilt W The ABC's of Student Correct "Em, Raise Em, Guarantee 'Em by At the tender age of two and one-half years the block fee structure is now ready, and seemingly, willing and wait ing for a good sound overhauling. ' "in the first two articles of this series, Publications pre sented the history of the fee structure and . attempted to point out the mistakes made during the first two years of block fee operation. Now to complete the cycle, a program is presented which those in Publications- feel to be a working and plausible solution to the overall problem and the road to a sound and productive fee structure! There are three major cylinders in the reform machinery and for an effective and complete reformation, the machine must hit on all three cylinders. It's a three-step program for fees: Correct 'em, Raise 'em, then Guarantee 'em. The first step Correct 'em means raise the level of the graduate fee from its present 11.55 per year to the under graduate rate of $15 per annum. It has been pointed out that the difference in the fees grew the block fee was constructed undergraduate fee went toward class activities. This condition is no longer true, as the amount of monies to class activities has since been reduced from that 22 per. cent of the overall fee to the present-day figure of slightly more than 2 per cent. . - Some will argue that difference in the two fees sprang from the fact that graduate students were not able to have their Yack pictures made without additional payment under the new block fee structure. This is not true. It is true though, that graduate groups such as the Law School for example, are assessed additionally for their space in the Yackety Yack. But if the Law School were to come in under the full $5 per quarter or $7.50 per semester classification, such an addi tional assessment would be immediately and permanently discontinued. That would most probably cause a comparative drop in the dues which law students now pay to the Law School Association for, among other things, representation '.n the Yack. - ' The Law School situation is typical and most of the other graduate schools correspond very closely. The proof that such a raise can be achieved successfully and. satisfactorily to all parties is found in the Pharmacy School, which was brought in under the full $5 fee over a year ago on an experi . mental basis along these very lines. The second step along the way to the sound and produc tive fee is a raise in the fee. met with immediate discord, but there is a definite need for this fee raise, one that can't well For, one of the great faults is an attempt to stretch the Student Government dollar past 'its point of elasticity. This stretch has been the greatest factor in the maladjustments of the fee structure, for it has brought politics and the bad dent financial picture. ' Unfortunately, Student Government cannot afford poli tics in its financial system any more than it could allow deficit spending, a pet practice of the national government where politicians thrive. Where the budget must balance and ' the money runs thin, the door must be shut in the politicians' path. The best way to accomplish this is to at least provide , enough fees to run all necessary Student Government or canizations comfortably and without telling strain. One could write a novel on , fee raise, but a simple example This branch of Student Government has been forced to cope with a 200 per cent rise in operational costs since the begin ning of the block fee, and yet been forced to take a cut in student fees during each year of operation. The Daily Tar Heel today operates a 50 per cent larger paper than it did in 1946 on some 2,000 less student dollars. The paper has reach- " ed a point where it can expand .student government capital. With such an addition in income the DTH could expand itself and in the process open new channels of other income. It's the old story of spending money to make money. Publications is not the only part of Student Government that could do a much better job with some additional funds. The Student Entertainment Series is a typical example of an organization which is just a few thousand dollars short of completely satisfactory. And ment is to be represented in NSA, the representation should be a complete one, and not hampered by the lack of necessary funds. Yet, possibly the best reason for a fee raise is found in connection with the third major step in fee reformation, that of Guaranteeing 'em. Guaranteeing 'em means providing a fee structure that delivers to the organizations the actual fnds which they are appropriated. In the first two years of the block fee, Publications was shorted a total of some $10,000 in appropriations made it by the Student Legislature. That means $10,000 of funds that the lawmakers figured would flow into the till that didn't. It was simply a case of the student government financiers being unable to compute the annual income from the block fee and being unable to recognize their calculations were wrong. , This year will be no exception, for the Student Govern ment budget will not balance for the third year in a row. The mistake this year will come from estimating too many under graduates paying $15 a year and too few graduates pay ing only $11.55. Strapped for funds by rising costs, Publica tions stand to suffer their first red year in the past four, simply because its total funds appropriated will not be de livered as promised. This situation is a must on the list of immediate correc tions. True money must be appropriated, money that will be promised and then delivered as promised and not in part. Each and every organization should be able to plan to spend taeh and every dollar it is appropriated, and not be forced to figure how much of the promise to expect and then have to compensate for the rest. This situation can be combatted easily in two ways: 1. A more careful and concise calculation of the enrollment and predictable bad debts. The correction of the graduate lee would alleviate the worry of computing how many fees at $15 and how many at $11.55. 2. A raise in the block fee would eliminate the dangerous task of computing the estimated income of such a close, tight spread. Additional funds would enable the. use of a greater (See FEE STRUCTURE SOLUTION, page 2).

The tilt will mark the. f irst -1950 appearance of the Clowns who have rolled up a 56 1 game win streak over the . past three years. They have never dropped a game. The Clowns have a habit - of playing a classy brand of basket ball and giving the customers something to chuckle over at the same time, but tonight's shindig with the gridders included in the show should really provide a belly-full of laughs for the folks who contribute to the March of Dimes on their way in. Local gambling authority and football enthusiast "Meatball" Hoffer, contacted yesterday af ternoon, said he was expecting the game between the Linemen and the Backs to end up in a tie which won't be played off "be cause "neither the players rior the of f iciafs will "be strong enough to go for an extra period in such a game. When you get ten-guys like that on a space as small as a bas ketball court, ya better watch out," concluded "Meatball." The Backs will have Skeet Hesmer, George Verchick, Billy Hayes, Dick Weiss, Bud Carson, and Merl Nbrcross in addition to Player-Coach Bunting.
