increase in the number of
employment positions available
to graduates and increased fund

Cappel also brought to light
the fact that the student service
fees have not been increased in
at least two years, and this pro
posed increase is smaller than
previous increases.
"We typically increase the
fee an average 8 or 9 percent per
year, so this recommendation is
lower than normal," Cappel
said. "This recommendation
Dean saved his money for a
last stand in Wisconsin on Feb.
17, a long-shot strategy that some
of his own advisers questioned.
“We’re going to have a tough
night,” Dean told supporters as he
promised to keep “going and
going and going and going —
just like the Energizer bunny.”
Said Steve Murphy, who ran
Rep. Dick Gephardt’s campaign:
“Howard Dean is done.” The list
was submitted the week after
Thanksgiving break, so it came
long before (A&M President
Robert M.) Gates’ announce
ments of-UiUion increases."
Last year, the proposed fee
increase overwhelmingly failed in
referendum. Organizations and
University departments would
have to cut programs and faculty
if the recommendation does not
pass in referendum, Cappel said.
"I'm disappointed that GSC
has voted to endorse this Student
Service Fee bloatfest, especially
in light of the recently announced
tuition increases," said Matthew
Wilkins, speaker of the Student
Senate. "But 1 am confident that

first, then Carol Moseley Braun.
Gephardt and Lieberman.
“Today the voters have ren
dered their verdict and I accept
it,” Lieberman said.
Kerry, who just six weeks ago
was written off as a candidate,
reshaped the race with victories
in Iowa and New Hampshire
while Dean’s candidacy cratered.
the student body will soundly
reject it in the referendum."
Student Senate rejected the
recommendation last Wednesday
because they did not support it
going above the state cap. The
bill to support the recommenda
tion failed 24 to 21, as it did not
reach a two-thirds majority.
"I am not questioning Senate
policy because they are a sepa
rate body, but you have to look
at the actual numbers in support
of the recommendation in the
senate to approve," Peschel said.
The Student Service Fee
cap increase recommendation
will be presented on the spring
election ballots.
