effective with the fall term 1976. The fee is composed of two portions. One covers the cost of the student health insurance program which continues to be $15.00 per semester. The second supports the costs associated with existing student health services and is presently $29.00 per semester. T h e adjustment for fall 1976 affects only the health service portion of the fee on the Urbana campus. T h e health service portion of the fee is designed to cover the cost of providing on-campus services to students. The fee is not subject to waiver. A $1.00 increase in this portion of the fee is proposed. A request for increased health service funds originated with the Director of the Health Service. It was reviewed by the McKinley Health Center Advisory Board 1 which recommended a $3.00 per student per semester increase for 1976-77. The recommendation assumed a salary increase for all health service staff at a higher rate than is now projected for staff members, a 20 percent increase for expense and equipment, and the establishment of an equipment reserve fund. T h e Service Fee Advisory Committee 3 reviewed the recommendations and concluded that the cost projections of the health center committee were higher than would be allowed elsewhere on the campus. Further, the establishment of an equipment amortization fund was not viewed as a necessity for the coming year. T h e increase of $1.00 was proposed to meet rising cost levels; it provides for no new programs or services, but permits the maintenance of health services at the same level as the 1975-76 academic year. T h e Vice Chancellor for Campus Affairs further examined the recommendations in consultation with other campus administrative officers, and based on this recommendation the Chancellor at Urbana has proposed a $1.00 increase. The increase in the H M S fee will be covered by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission (ISSC) for Illinois resident undergraduate students with financial need who hold full-value ISSC awards. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Summers, this recommendation was approved.
