Student Center Complex fees
paid by students are currently being
wasted by groups that do not notify
the University Center (UC) of their
meeting cancellations.
The Student Center Complex
Fee is a $10 charge per semester
levied on students for the upkeep of
the UC and the Memorial Student
Center (MSC).
UC Manager Charles Cargill said
the money spent from the complex
fee, for setting up and cleaning of
rooms is, “wasted money when they
(the student groups) don’t use it (the
scheduled room).”
Both Cargill and UC Scheduling
Manager Cannon Tax said the prob
lem of cancellations is not great, at
five present time.
However, increasing use of the
UC will bring about solid booking,
said Cargill. Bookings cancelled
without notifying the UC staff
would then deprive other groups of
the use of the facilities.
The meetings that are “blocked
out” are usually the source of cancel
lations without UC staff knowledge,
said Tax. “Blocking out” is the prac
tice of scheduling a group’s meet
ings a semester in advance.
Two types of cancellations are re
ceived by the scheduling office.
Usually, the group will call if they
plan to cancel. Others cancel with
out notifying the staff, thus causing
unnecessary room preparations.
“Sometimes it’s the day after the
meeting that we notice a cancella
tion,” said Tax. He explained the
night crew usually informs him of a
cancelled meeting when they arrive
at work the next day.
The weekly schedule of events,
printed by the UC staff, is strictly
tentative and usually doesn’t in
clude late cancellations, said Tax.

tees are responsible for the an
nouncement of when and where
their meetings are being held and
not the UC staff.
At present, the students and uni
versity staff and faculty don’t pay for
the use of the center facilities. The
only groups paying for the use of
rooms and services are the confer
ences and the short courses offered
by the extension service and the
continuing education program.
The rates for rooms vary with the
size, ranging from $2 to $36 in the
Rudder Tower and the MSC. Thea
ter Complex, including the au
ditorium, theater and forum, rates
are $25 to $65 per hour.
Labor charges, in the Rudder
Tower, are three dollars for laborers
and $6 for electrician/projectionists.
Although student groups aren’t
charged for labor or room rental in
the conference tower, Cargill said,
the cost of setting up the room is
approximately the same as the cost
for conference set-ups.
The budget for the 1975 fiscal
year anticipates a total income to the
UC of $760,000. Of this figure,
$400,000 will come from the Stu
dent Center Complex fee. The re
mainder will come from room and
space rental from conference
groups.
Expenditures will equal this
year’s income, according to figures
supplied by Cargill.
Up-to-date information on daily
events can be obtained from the
television monitors spread
throughout the Rudder Tower. This
system of monitors will be expanded
into the MSC in the future.
