1962] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1297 On motion of Mr. Clement, the actions taken in this matter were confirmed and ratified, and authority was given as requested. Mr. Johnston asked to be recorded as not voting on grounds of conflict of interest, being a member of the Board of Directors of one of the defendant corporations. C H A N G E S IN S T U D E N T F E E S (10) In October, 1956, the Board of Trustees approved, in principle, the assessment of building fees of $20.00 per semester to make possible the construction of student service facilities — the Mini Union Addition, Student Services Buildings (including a Health Service Building), and the Assembly Hall — on a selfliquidating basis. This has been a firm commitment to the state of Illinois in connection with the biennial budgets since the biennium of 1957-59, but the fees have not been put into effect pending completion of the buildings to which they are related. The Committee on Fees now recommends that the fees for students on the Urbana-Champaign campus be increased by $20.00 a semester, effective September, 1962, in order to provide for operation and debt service on the service buildings. It also recommends, for simplicity in assessment and accounting, that a single service fee be assessed, to be distributed to the various activities as shown in the internal budget each year. Thus, at Urbana-Champaign and the Medical Center there will be only three fees: tuition, service fee, and hospitalmedical-surgical insurance fee. At the Chicago Undergraduate Division, there will be, in addition to the above three, an activities fee. The revised schedules of fees as recommended by the Committee appear below as Exhibit A. The Committee also recommends that the number of credit hours included in the three ranges of fees be adjusted so that one-third of the normal load of fifteen hours be included in each successive range. Some revisions in the amount of fees for part-time students are made and the hospital-medical-surgical fee is charged all students who do not have equivalent coverage. The Committee also recommends that a late registration fine of $15.00 be assessed all students who register for work in residence after the close of the regular registration, in addition to the tuition and fees presented in the schedule. The fine may be waived on petition in emergencies, such as illness or death in the immediate family. The Committee also recommends that the charge for deferment of payment of fees be uniformly set at $2.00 and that it be nonrefundable. T h e charge is not applicable when arrangements have been made to bill the fees to an agency. The Committee also recommends that the visitor's fee be increased from $10.00 to $15.00 for each course on campus. Persons paying full fees (Range I ) and those who are exempt from tuition are not assessed the fee. The laboratory, library, and supply fee is discontinued, and applied to the total service fee, which will be distributed in 1962-63 as follows: Urbana-Champaign: Mini Union and Health Center, 46?4 per cent; Assembly Hall, 46V4 Per cent; Student Services Building, 7Vi per cent. Medical Center: Union Building, 15 per cent; Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Revenue Bond Fund, 85 per cent. Chicago Undergraduate Division: Union Building, 30 per cent; Union Building Replacement, 70 per cent. The Director of Auxiliary Services and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the housing deposit be increased from $30.00 to $40.00. This will eliminate confusion with the tuition deposit of $30.00 required for new students. (The housing deposit is applied to the rental, but is forfeited if the student does not withdraw his application before a specified date.) T h e Committee further recommends some revisions in the regulations governing assessment of and exemptions from fees, submitted herewith as Exhibit B. I concur in these recommendations. On motion of Mr. Johnston, the revisions in fees and in the regulations governing the assessment of and exemptions from fees were
