fees to surpass the $150 cap at
a referendum, the University
can seek increases in student
fees for up to 10 percent with
out seeking SSFAB or student
body consent. Additionally, a
new cap of $250 will go into
effect.
“We haven't had a student
body referendum because I
don’t even know the last time
A&M has increased the (stu
dent service) fee 10 percent”
Kibler said.
The SSFAB recommends an
increase of 65 cents, which
would push the total fee slightly
over the $ 150 cap.
Anytime you cross that line
you must have a vote of the
students in referendum to sup
port going over that line.
Kibler said.
Williams urges students to
vote to increase the fee for the
benefit of the University.
“In order for the University
to expand there are going to
have to be increases in the
future.” Williams said.
Kibler said without the
increase that there would have to
eventually be layoffs of faculty
and staff because of the need to
increase costs to keep up with
doing business.
If a majority of students vote
for the increase in April, the cap
will be surpassed. Students may
vote in future referenda should
the administration decide to
have a 10 percent increase in
fees or more. Increases of 10
percent or less will not require
student approval.

investigation internally.”
The Athletic Department’s main objective was to retrieve the
stolen banners, but they are persistent in their quest to locate the five
individuals who were spotted by the cameras. The exact measures
that will be taken against the culprits have not yet been determined.
