University administrators try to halt increasing fees Depending on their major, students pay school and department fees ranging from $30 to $3,125 By Chuck Slothower News Reporter To take the edge off rising tuition, Uni versity administrators are attempting to save students money by curtailing the costs of the miscellaneous fees students must pay. The University administration has re layed to various departments that student fee increases are to be avoided or increased only as much as necessary, Vice President for Student Affairs Anne Leavitt and Asso ciate Vice President of Budget and Finance Frances Dyke said. "We've told people they need to be very cognizant of the pressures on students," Dyke said.

The College of Arts and Sciences — which includes popular programs such as psychology, political science and Spanish — requires its students to pay $40. Sophomore Brandon Packman was less than thrilled about the $50 fee he pays each term for being a pre-business major. "It's B.S.,'' he said. "What $50 gets me is a lot of junk e-mails." However, second-year architecture ma jor Robert Stroup said the $50 he pays each term is a drop in the bucket. "Fifty dollars is like two cents for me," Stroup said, adding that he spends between $500 and $ 1,000 each term on architecture supplies. "So $50 really isn't anything."
