Service. Laboratory tests (including X-rays) and clinic referrals are being provided without charge by the hospital and clinics to the Student Health Service. The question of whether to continue the subsidy of the cost of ambulatory health care for Medical Center students has been raised. The $10.00 increase proposed will provide funds to the Student Health Service to enable it to reimburse the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics for the direct costs of laboratory work (including X-rays) and clinic referrals. The increase will result in some extension of health services provided students at the Medical Center campus, while permitting a sound financing arrangement for health care services provided by the hospital and climes. Students will not be charged for physicians' services. The increase will be covered by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission for Illinois resident undergraduate students with financial need who hold full-value awards. There has been no increase in the HMS Fee for on-campus health services since the fee was established by the Board on March 15, 1972, effective in the fall of 1972. The present recommendation has been reviewed by the academic and administrative officers of the Medical Center campus and has been formally accepted by the Executive Student Council. I concur.

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

Rate Increases, Residence Halls, Medical Center

(16) The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus has recommended rate increases for University residence halls at that campus, effective with the fall term of 1977, as follows: 1. Room Portion of the Contract 1976-77 Proposed Amount of Percent of Unit Rate 1977-78 Increase Increase Student Residence Hall ( S R H ) . . . $748 $808 $60 8.0 Women's Residence Hall ( W R H ) . 790 853 63 8.0 These rates are for the most typical accommodations — one person occupying a double study-bedroom for the standard academic year. The difference between SRH and WRH rates reflects the fact that WRH is a newer, air-conditioned building with special features. Rates for a single room, a special academic schedule, etc., would be proportionate. 2. Board Portion of the Contract 1976-77 Proposed Amount of Percent of Rate 1977-78 Increase Increase 10-meal plan $580 $632 $52 9.0 The 10-meal plan offers 10 meals per week during the academic year (any 2 meals per day, Monday through Friday), exclusive of exam weeks. The same rates apply to students in both residence halls. This plan would be offered to returning residence halls students in 1977-78 on an optional basis. 1976-77 Proposed Amount of Rate 1977-78 Increase 1 14-meal plan NA $840 see below The 14-meal plan offers 14 meals per week in any combination of breakfast, lunch, and dinner over five, six, or seven days. It covers the academic and exam weeks. There are 130 more meals than offered by the 10-meal plan. Due to higher volume the 14-meal plan is priced at $2.01 per meal, compared to $2.19 per meal for the 10-meal plan. All new students would be given the 14-meal plan. It would be > Not available.
