Campus printing fees remain at status quo
The University and ASUO
decided to keep the 10-cent
per page charge for using
library printing services
By Doug Irving

The University and the ASUO reached an
agreement on printing charges Monday:
No changes to the current policy.
That means the University will continue
charging 10 cents per page in all University
libraries. Student’s won’t pay for pages in
campus computing labs.
“It’s definitely a compromise,” ASUO
President Bill Miner said. “Both of our
hands are definitely tied. But we kicked the
fees out of the labs that only students use.”

Any further fees would probably go
through the Educational Technology Com
mittee, which allocates
sions about computing -
fees, ASUO outreach director Adrienne
Young said.
The fee may have to be raised next year,
Provost John Moseley said. The University
expects to spend $100,000 on free printing
in the labs. That’s about twice what it had
budgeted for printing.
The money will come out of the instruc
fees from the technolo
gy fee students pay
each year.

tional technology budget, Moseley said.
That could mean some technology pro
grams may have to cut a little from their
budgets, and the University can’t upgrade
much of its equipment, he said.
“I wouldn’t want to close the possibility
[of raising the fee],” he said. “At the same
time, I’d like to avoid it.”
Students currently pay a $50 technology
fee each term — "quite a bargain,” accord
ing to Moseley. Students get computing ser
vices and Internet access for their money.
The University will also crack down on
non-students using the lab computers. The
student technology fee pays for paper in the
labs, and faculty members and other non
students can’t use it, Moseley said.
Some faculty have used the computer
labs to print handouts and tests, he ex

Students can keep information out of directory
Students who do not want to be
listed in the directory can file a
request at the registrar’s office
By Laura Cadiz
Higher Education Editor
When Jason Goade opened the 1997-98
Student Directory, he didn’t expect to see
his phone number and address printed —
he had already requested that U.S. West re
strict the information. But when he saw the
newly released directory last week, he saw
that ail the information he thought was con
fidential was printed.
“I’m paying the phone company not to be
published, and now I’m published,” said
Goade, a psychology major. “Now I’m go
ing to have to pay $25 to get my phone
number changed."
Goade said he requested that U.S. West
not print his phone number because he has
been plagued by prank phone calls in the
past, and he assumed that his request
would be extended to the Student Directory
also.
But University Registrar Herb Chereck
said that’s not the case.
“That’s with a private sector,” he said, re
ferring to U.S. West. “They’re very separate;
neither one talks to each other.”
Chereck said each year he gets about half
a dozen phone calls from students with
similar concerns to Goade’s. He said he has
received three calls so far this term.
But he said the University has gone to
some length to inform students how to re
strict their personal information from being
published.
Each term, the steps that need to be tak
en to restrict directory information are
printed in the Schedule of Classes under
the heading “Student Record Confidentiali
ty-”
Though this information exists, many
students are unaware that the restriction of

plained. Their departments provide funds
for that, though, and they shouldn’t be us
ing the labs, he said.
Computer lab monitors will continue
checking University ID cards for printing.
“If we get someone in there printing one
or two pages, it’s not a big deal," Moseley
said. “But if non-students are taking advan
tage of the free printing, it’s costing the Uni
versity.”
The ASUO had been working with the
administration to stop the printing charges
since they began this term. This compro
mise will work for now, but it is temporary,
Young said.
“This isn’t, ‘This is how it’s going to be,”’
she said. "This is, ‘This is how it’s going to
be this year.’ This is temporary, something
that needed to be done."
Council
discusses
housing plan
By Michael Burnham
Community Reporter
The City Council pored over the funding
and scope of a proposed housing code that
is causing deep divisions among renters,
landlords and the University at a Monday
night work session.
The proposed code was drafted by the
council-directed Department Advisory
Committee (DAC). The committee was
formed by the council in June, 1995 to de
velop the housing code, The scope of the
code was expanded to adopt most of the
state housing code on an interim basis in
July 1996.
The current attempt at getting a code
passed comesaftera previous housing code
was eliminated in 1983 due to budget re
ductions. tint the city currently has no way
to enforce the state housing code without a
new city code in place.
In the course of the meeting, Council
woman Nancy Nathanson said she would
like to see the code include ways to help
people with housing problems find solu
tions.
Councilman Bobby Lee said there needs
to be a process to “fine tune” funding
sources in the housing code’s draft before
the council takes action on it.
But there seems to be a growing rift con
cerning funding and additional issues
among all those whom the housing code
will affect.
According to John [Davidson, who was on
the DAC, the committee was divided up
into three contingents that included land
lord, tenant and community representa
tives.
Davidson, staff attorney for the ASUO
sponsored Legal Services, deals with hous
ing issues for University students and rep
resented the tenant interests in the
committee. He said he is in favor of the new
code because the city currently does not
have any way to force tenant owners to com
ply with renters’ demands.
