Page 6 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 197'4 Poll shows students favor education price control TAMU students are, predictab ly, in favor of measures intended to save them money, according to the compiled results from the Nov. 13 National Student Lobby issue referendum. Seventy-nine per cent of the students polled agreed with the application of Phase IV price guidelines to education, which Budget (Continued from page 1) $9,000 it received last year, Great Issues was asking for $14,150 over $13,500 and Town Hall was asking for $37,000 over $32,500 for 1973-74. Assistant Director for Manage ment Services Ed Davis and Staff Assistant to the TAMU President Roger Miller presented the shuttle bus request to the student services fee allocation committee. The $60,000 request was based upon ridership for 1973-74, said Davis. Contract cost will increase 40 cents to the maximum $7.65 that can be charged per hour for bus service. Based on the current ser vice of six buses operating 63 hours per day the budget projec tion for 1974-75 totals $81,612 which includes contract cost, night bus service and contingen cies. Another $40,870 is the revenue projected from ridership with in creases in the current user fee. Proposed rates include a two dol lar raise to $20 for two semesters for a student, a six dollar increase to $30 for student and spouse and an eight dollar raise to $30 for faculty-staff. “We still have a couple of areas we feel deserve service,” said Davis, defending the $19,258 re quested funds for expansion of the service. Davis said it is not possible to run strictly on users fees, mainly because the alternative, driving to campus, would be cheaper. Miller said income from faculty- staff was lower than from stu dents because they do not live in concentrated areas. He added that apartment complexes were not interested in helping to fund the buses. “Each of us has the ability to economize and I feel car pools are grossly more efficient than the shuttle buses,” said Tom Taylor committee member. Miller argued increased fuel costs and parking fee would in crease ridership and demand a larger service. Miori said next fall there would be a spreading of classes through out the day due to a lack of class room space and this system would increase passenger load along with more evenly distributing it.

The remaining 21 per cent want ed to exempt education costs from price controls. Approximately 1,800 TAMU students voted on the referendum, said Barb Sears, External Af fairs chairperson. The final re sults are sent to the national NSL headquarters to help them decide which issues they will lobby for during the following year. Sears also sent copies of the TAMU results to all Texas con gressmen. In other measures concerned with money, forty-seven per cent of the voters said increased fund ing was necessary for student fi nancial aid programs. Yet 39 per cent said they were insufficiently informed on the topic to decide whether the funding was ade quate or not. Seventy per cent felt discount air fares should be granted to all youth and senior citizens. Only 10 per cent felt there should be full air fare for all, regardless of age. Official participation of stu dents in collective bargaining be tween faculty and administration on salaries, classroom conditions and University governance was endorsed by 59 per cent of the voting Aggies. Seventy-one per cent also want ed student representation on uni versity boards of trustees. TAMU’s male dominance may have had some effect on the re sults, especially where 56 per cent noted that the NSL’s efforts to eliminate sex discrimination were an inadequate area of con cern. Thirty-one per cent did feel that the NSL should lobby to eliminate sex discrimination in post secondary education, child care and for the enforcement of the equal rights amendment. On national issues, 61 per cent of the students supported con gressional restriction of presiden tial war-making powers. Fifty-six per cent opposed U.S. troop re ductions in order to cut defense department expenditures.
