Among the projects that would have been funded by increasing the fee from $78 per semester to $88 was a $4 mil lion doubling of the size of the weight and fitness room in the Rec Center, a $5 million expan sion of Penberthy Intramural Sports Center, and pay raises for the department’s student workers. Unlike past fee proposals, in which the department spent as much as $2,000 for campaign ing, this year only $500 was set aside to promote the fee, although the department also devoted some of its regular advertisement buys in The Battalion to promoting the fee, Corrington said. Corrington said he will bring the fee increase to a referendum next year. “We need to raise the fee or seriously cut back on services,” Corrington said. The department is already dipping into its $5 million reserve fund to cover budget shortfalls, Corrington said. Cutbacks are likely next year, he said, although no budget decisions have been made. Erin Eckhart, election com missioner for the Student Government Association, said the only other defeat of a fee increase in the past 10 years was in 1996, when students rejected a hike in the University Center fee. Germany with veto power- contend that inspections should be strengthened. France. Ru and China called Monday Iraq to comply fully with (lie demands of U.N. weapons inspectors to avoid war. The United States still does n’t have the nine “yes” votes needed to adopt the resolution, according to supporters and opponents of the measure. And even if it gets the nine votes, France and Russia have not ruled out using their vetoes. China is considered unlikelyto veto the measure though could abstain. But diplomats said the United States is refusing to compromise. President Bush believes thal previous U.N. resolutions already give the United States authority to attack Iraq. If the council rejects the U.S.-backed draft. Bush has said he is pre pared to tight with a coalition of willing nations.
