He said that traditionally, fees have been kept low in all Texas public universities, and now those uni versities are paying the price. “There is a very strong sense here at this institution of trying to provide everything we do at the least possible cost,” Gaston said. “That has been an effort that has preceded the current administration, the previous ad ministration and the adminis tration before that.” John Dailey, Class of ’95, said he might not have received his degree if the general use fee had been increased last spring. “If this fee had happened last semester, I wouldn’t be here standing as a fall graduate,” Dailey said. “I would be standing here waiting for fall enrollment because I would be working full time to pay my way.” Dailey said that only the staff should be given a raise. “I would say that many people here deserve raises,” Dailey said, “and the people I would point to would be the custodians, the Physical Plant workers, the li brarians, the secretaries and the Food Service employees. “These are the people who re ally get things done. They are the ones who really have to deal with the students.” Dailey’s suggestion brought staunch opposition from Dr. Pierce Cantrell, speaker of the Faculty Senate. “I can tell you that a lot of the professors who make big salaries here bring a lot more money in than what we pay them,” Cantrell said. “If you don’t want to pay them what they’re worth, they’re going to go elsewhere. We subsidize our teaching mis sion through research.” Although Dailey did not sup port a faculty pay raise, other students, like Brian Meyers, a junior business administration major, favored the raises. “I support the faculty pay reus es wholeheartedly,” Myers said. Dr. Ray Bowen, Texas A&M president, said he sympathized with Staples and that the new administration will adopt a more sound fiscal policy. “I don’t blame you for being frustrated,” Bowen said. Other students complained they were being mistreated by the administration. J. Frank Hernandez, a senior agricultural journalism major, said he felt that the increased fees showed a lack of caring on the administration’s part. “To me, it’s about respect,” Hernandez said. “It’s a.matter of where students fall in the peck ing order. We’re not the most im portant thing, even though that’s what we’re told.” The next scheduled Board of Regents meeting is scheduled for August 30-31. The general use fee increase must be ap proved by July 15 to be effec tive for Fall 1995. Gaston previously said the Board of Regents may hold a special meeting to consider the increases before the July 15 deadline. RATES: Job market affects enrollment Continued from Page 1 program in the College of Education dropped 15 percent this year. Dr. Charles Shea, associate dean for the De partment of Health and Kinesiology, formerly served as the associate dean for graduate studies in the College of Education. He said the College of Education saw a 15-percent drop in graduate en rollment this year because the acceptance require ments have changed. The college no longer makes as many exceptions for applicants who do not meet all the requirements, he said. Enrollment in the College of Business Adminis tration’s graduate program decreased 11 percent this year. Elissa Ellis, the College of Business Adminis tration’s assistant director of the master’s program office, said the decrease is the result of a depart mental decision to follow a nationwide trend of ad mitting new applicants in the fall semester only. Before the decision, the College of Business Ad ministration was accepting new graduate students in the spring semester as well. Ellis said another reason enrollment is decreas ing is because more students are finishing their degrees faster. Robertson said the job market also can affect the number of applications received. “If the number of positions available is down in certain fields, fewer people will apply to those ar eas in graduate studies,” he said. Shea said the College of Education received fewer graduate applications since Texas school dis tricts dropped the career I; 1 ' r system. Dr. James Holste, associat. director of graduate studies, said the drop in support can be Mamed on the increased cost of supporting researchers. The Texas A&M University Board of Regents and the administration wants to see an under graduate to graduate ratio of 3-to-l by the year 2000, Holste said. Currently there is 4-to-l ratio at A&M.
