the pool fee went into effect.
by Wanda Winkler
Battuliou Stall
A user fee for the Wofford Cain
Pool, which took effect Sept. 1,
will provide funds for mainta-
nenee and repair since the Uni
versity president’s concessions
account can no longer subsidize
the pool.
Inflation and a growing student
enrollment have made pool
maintenance costs reach a point
where the cost must he passed on
to pool users, says Dr. Leonard D.
Ponder, head of the Health and
Physical Education Department.
"As the University got larger, we
had to do something, lie said.
University enrollment has tripled
and pool maintenance costs have
doubled since 1972.
The pool was funded for 10
years through an account which
was established by Dr. Jack K.
Williams, former Texas A&M
president. His successors—Dr.
Jarvis E. Miller and Dr. Frank E.
Vandiver—continued to subsidize
the pool through the fund.
It was "admirable” of the Uni
versity presidents. Ponder said,
and most students appreciated the
service.
Ponder said the pool user fee
was established after he "recom
mended in consultation with the
Vice President for Fiscal Affairs
and the Vice President and the
Vice President for Student
Affairs." They collectively made a
decision “after some agony, he
said.
Money collected from the user
fee will be used to pay lifeguards
and to buy pool supplies, equip
ment and deck chairs.
Ponder said he wished faculty
and students could use till his de
partment’s facilities for free. "We
just want a break-even pool, he
said.
The student user pool fee is $ 1 a
visit, $8 a semester, and $12 for
two semesters. A student pass
costs $16 a summer session, $24
for two summer sessions, and $36
a year.
While a student who plans to
use the pool more than eight times
can save money with a semester
pass, an occasional swimmer can
benefit more from a day pass.
Faculty members have always
paid a pool user fee. Ponder said it
has remained the same price for
the last three years.
A faculty member pool pass
costs $10 a semester, $20 a sum
mer session, $30 for two summer
sessions, and $50 a year.
Another pass enables faculty
members and their families to use
the pool for a reasonable price. 11
costs $20 a semester, $40 a sum
mer session. $60 for two summer
sessions, and $100 a year.
The student-family pass is
offered to married persons who
are full-time students at Texas
A&M. The pass costs the same as
the faculty member pass, Married
students also have the option of
buying a $15 pass for two semes
ters.
Ponder said the pool rates will
remain the same for a year. “If we
bring in more money than needed
to operate the pool, the fee will be
reduced beginning Sept. 1, 1984,
he stiid.
Since its impossible to deter
mine the total number of people
who use the pool throughout the
year, it is difficult to estimate the
amount of funds that will lie
raised. Ponder said. It s a gues
sing person s budget, he said.
Students given opportunities

Texas A&M students have the

Fink, assistant director in the

hour, however, some do pay
more, he said. For example, start
ing shuttle bus drivers are paid
about $4.14 an hour, and most stu
dents who work for a year usually
receive a 4 percent raise.
The average work week for most
students is 15 to 20 hours, Fink
said. Such jobs as sec retarial posi-
some skills, most do not, he said.
The intramural program is one
of the areas that offers training for
employees. The program holds
classes for officials.
The financial aid office revolves
around the slogan — "persistence
pays off. If a student really wants
a job, the office will try to help him
find one, Fink said.
