Fees

subscription to The Battalion, and
that’s a very important connection to
me,” he said. “I think it’s extremely
important that the students know this
is their newspaper, that they sub
scribe and that they are the audience
of this paper.
“What the Student Services Fee Al
location Committee has done, in effect,
is to sever the meaningful relationship
between the students and the student
newspaper.”
Currently, approximately $1 per
student of the student services fee
goes toward The Battalion each semes
ter. The suggested allocation for fiscal
year 1997 would lower the student
contribution to $.10 per student per
year.
“The subscription to the student
newspaper is not something that
should go up and down every year,
from $.10 to a $1 a year,” Self said.
“That’s too wide a variation in the con
nection between the students and the
newspaper.”
Sterling Hayman, editor in chief of
The Battalion, said that students
should listen carefully to the rational
ization that many proponents are giv
ing about the increase in the student
services fee.
“Many people are using the fact that
The Battalion is provided to all students
as a selling point of an increase in the
fees,” he said. “To suggest that is outra
geous and disingenuous.
“You cannot cut the funding of an
organization by 94 percent and then
mislead the student body by telling
them, ‘An increase in the student ser
vices fee will enable students to con
tinue receiving services such as The
Battalion.’ That is an attempt to de
ceive the students and help persuade
them to go along with yet another fee
increase.”
If the funding for The Battalion is
cut to the extent suggested. Self said
the Student Publications Board will
meet to discuss the paper’s future.
“If they don’t change it, I will be
very disappointed for the students,” he
said. “I think that if it were put it to a
vote of the students, most of the stu
dents would feel, that for the money.
The Battalion is a very valuable asset.
“I think that while they may dis
agree with it on certain issues, day in
and day out. The Battalion is one of
the most important things the stu
dents get for the student services fee.”
Harman said funding for the paper
could be restored in future years.
“Next year, if
the Batt isn’t do
ing well or was ex
tensively digging
into its reserves
she said, “the com
mittee could go
back and reallo
cate some funds to
The Battalion.”
Self said it is a
possibility that Student Publications
would need an increase in funds allocated
to it in the future, because although 'The
Battalion could survive on advertising
revenue, there is a possibility that the pa
per would lose money.
“The Battalion has lost as much as
$200,000 in years past,” he said.
Other organizations that received sug
gested decreases include: Rec Sports, 5.1
percent; Student Activities, 1.7 percent;
Bus Operations, 2.5 percent; Internation
al Student Services, 8.6 percent; Study
Abroad, 6.8 percent; Student Financial
Aid, 7.6 percent; Vice president for stu
dent affairs, 5 percent; Student Govern
ment, .85 percent; Sports Clubs, 16.9 per
cent; University Arts, 10.3 percent; and
the Student Handbook, 53.3 percent.
The Student Handbook department
asked for these decrease in their funds.
Most of the other organizations that re
ceived cuts requested slight increases or
no change, except Bus Operations, which
requested a 55-percent increase.
Harman said most of the the organiza
tions that received cuts were able to un
derstand why when shown the figures.
“The majority that were cut weren’t
happy with it, but they realize that they
weren’t the only one hit hard and that
they are going to manage their depart
ments better,” she said. “I believe that
money is not the answer — good manage
ment is important.”
The seven organizations or depart
ments that received suggested increas
es include: Student Counseling Ser
vices, 3.14 percent; the Department of
Multicultural Services, .62 percent;
the Aggie Band, 10.21 percent; the Vo
cal Music Club, 21.2 percent; Gradu
ate Student Council, 22.7 percent; the
Department of Student Life, 3.3 per
cent, and the Student Organization Fi
nance Center, 7.9 percent.
Of the two highest suggested increas
es, the Vocal Music Club’s increase was
allocated to compensate for a previous
miscalculation, and the Graduate Stu
dent Council’s increase would allow for
the hiring of a senior secretary.
Becky Silloway, Senate speaker, said
the departments that received increases
should “be very thankful,” and other or
ganizations should try to understand the
committee’s situation.
“I think the departments need to be
responsible and realize that this is a bud
get crisis time,” Silloway said.
Once the Internal Affairs Committee
reviews the bill, it can be held in commit
tee again, be sent to the Senate with a re
ferral to pass, or it could fail.
The final bill must also be approvedby
the Graduate Student Council, the vice
president for student affairs and the
Board of Regents.
"I think that while they [the students] may dis
agree with it on certain issues, day in and day out,
The Battalion is one of the most important things
the students get for the student services fee."
