Fees have been raised to $2 and the assessment fee to ?1 per semester. Former fees were 50 cents and 75 cents. They are required of all residents of wo men's dorms, anci go into effct t this semester. The reason for the increased fees is to allow the dormitories to carry out a more elaborate si -cial program, which has been urg ed by some administrative o;f) cials, said Miss Jones. The offi cials, she said, want to see morf nics, study breaks during exams and dances. The increase in the assessment will eliminlate the necessity cf , "passing the hat" for fund raising projects, Miss Jones said. The treasurer of each dormitory is ro sponsible for the handling ot funds, and for working out a trn tative budget for the semes' cr uth the approval of the executive council of each dormitory.
