CHANGES IN STUDENT FEES (4) The Committee on Fees recommends the following changes in fees, effective September, 1960: 1. Laboratory, Library, and Supply Fee at Urbana-Champaign and at the Chicago Undergraduate Division, increase from $10.00 to $12.00 a semester, 2. Discontinuance of the University High School Tuition Fee of $25.00 a semester, 3. Establishment of a Student Activity Fee of $7.00 a semester at the University High School. The fees for the Summer Session will be half these amounts. Students carrying eight semester hours of undergraduate or two units of graduate work or less in a semester (four hours or one unit or less in the Summer Session) will be charged one-half the Laboratory, Library, and Supply Fee. The Laboratory, Library, and Supply Fee was set at $II.oo in 1953 and was reduced to $10.00 in 1959 when the Hospital-Medical-Surgical Insurance Fee was increased by one dollar. The increase now proposed is proportionately somewhat less than the general increase in the price level of laboratory matrials and supplies, but the two-dollar adjustment is considered adequate at this time. The University High School is a laboratory, hence it is desirable to have pupils of various aptitudes and talents. Elimination of the tuition fee is recommended so that gifted children from families of low economic status can be included in the program. Laboratory schools in other state-supported institutions of higher education in Illinois do not charge tuition, and a similar practice is followed in other states. The University High School Student Activity Fee will eliminate the sale of activity tickets, ticket sales at plays and athletic events, sales at the school store and carnival, and sale of advertising in the yearbook. Outside support is available to take care of the fee for pupils from families in low income brackets. 1 concur. On motion of Mr. Clement, these changes in fees were approved as recommended.
