If we do that, ev erything else will follow suit. ” Of the five major student senate committees — academic affairs, external affairs, rules and regula tions, finance and student services — Johnson said the biggest area of expansion will be in academic affairs. “The big push will be in acade mics. External affairs has made tremendous strides this past year, and we’re going to try to continue that. Finance has been doing a good job, and Terry (Smith, fi nance vice president) has some good plans for developing user fees. “Student services has really blossomed in the last few adminis trations, and the rules and regula tions committee has gotten to the point where most of its work is fine tuning. “The last great frontier is in academics.” Johnson, who was the 1980-81 speaker of the senate, said plans are being worked on to recom- *5 iesticpowfi music.

DEADLINE: MAY 1 mend implementation of “user fees” for such things as intramu rals and some health center ser vices, such as X-rays and some special tests. “Some materials that every body is now paying for are more expensive than others, and aren’t used as much by everybody,” Johnson said. He said this would help to keep student service fees from being raised again as soon as they would be otherwise. The student service fee will be $40 in the fall, up from $33.50 this semester. “User fees would be a real and practical way of meeting costs without making everyone bear the burden of the service, especially those who don’t use it as much as others do,” he said. He said prop osals have been made to raise the per person cost of intramural par ticipation, since the average cost per person in some sports could be less than a dollar. A bill passed by the 1980-81 senate set up a committee that will evaluate the request for official recognition of fraternities and sororities. The committee is sche duled to report back to the senate at the next to the last meeting be fore the Christmas holidays. “We should have a good feel for how that’s going to be going by mid-October or so,” Johnson said. He said he felt University admi nistrators would probably go along with the senate’s decision, but added there was some uncertainty due to the upcoming change in administration. He added that the “tenure situation is a problem we need to deal with in the future.” “We need to work with the administrators of the school, but we have to have student input to do that. “We must take an active role in seeing that what we get here is a quality education that’s going to mean something once we leave.” TONITE MAY 1ST 8 P.M.
