tindstrom Answers Queries Concerning Dorm Fee Raise I Questions on the management of "University dormitories were an \ swerea for an Independent Stu dents association fact-finding com mittee this week by J. O. Lind ‘ strom, University business mana ger. , Because of the controversy en cited at an announcement that 'dorm fees would be raised next fall > the ISA felt that a clarification of ^issues would benefit both students ^ and University officials. Fee Increase Incorrect ' In a letter to the committee i head, Lindstrom stated that the ^amount of the fee increase had been incorrectly stated as $5 a month in an earlier newspaper ar ticle. The increase will actually amount to $3.72 per month, he said. Three dollars of this is for * room rent. Lindstrom provided a schedule showing what items are increasing in cost, thus necessitat ing the raise in rates. Dorms Not to Make Profit ' “University dormitories are not in the business of making a pro fit,’’ wrote lindstrom to the com mittee head. The primary purpose for their existence is to provide * as low a cost as is compatable with housing and boarding facilities at good living conditions, he stated. * The dormitory system, from its very beginning through June, 1947 has not made sufficient earnings - to pay for the entire cost of oper ation and to pay for the bonds and interest on John Straub hall. The committee asked whether the board fee is based on the esti mate of meals actually eaten, or * on an estimate of 20 meals a week per student. ■j Board Based on Meals Eaten Board fees, stated Lindstrom are ' figured on the estimate of meals actually eaten. “If all of the stu WILLAMETTE PARK presents A DANCING THRILL HENRY KING AND HIS ORCHESTRA FRIDAY NIGHT MARCH 12 Dancing Adm. 9-1:00 1.50 inc. tax Don’t forget (lancing at the Park every Saturday.

It was explained that such a deposit is necessary in order to “assure the University that the re quest for dormitory rooms is bona fide.” This money is put in a spe cial fund, not intermingled with general University dormitory general University dormitory funds, but does not draw interest, “as the banks are not interested in making interest payments on such small deposits.” Funds Retire Bonds A certain portion of funds from room and board fees, it was stated, is being used to retire bonds is sued to construct a men’s dormi tory. Annual principle and interest payments equal about $30,000 an nually. Miscellaneous points covered: Fathers and mothers may eat at dormitories free during visits to the campus, but other guests of students must pay. Late fees were in operation last year. House mothers’ and sponsors4 are paid .out of the funds provided by room and board payments. Vet’s Mess Hall in Red The veterans’ mess hall lost $7,485.21 last year in operating two terms. “We are doing better this year and have established a pro gram which will liquidate the cost of the veterans’ mess hall over a period of approximately six years,” read Lindstrom’s letter.
