Along with tuition, which increases at a rate of 6 percent a year, during the 1991-9- 2 academic year students will pay a student services fee of $115 per quarter. The student services fee goes toward a smorgasbord of activities and projects. While the disposition of the bulk of the fee is determined by the Board of Trustees, the SUUSA Senate controls the remainder. The trustees have designated the lions share $52 as building fee. Paul R. Southwick, vice president for financial affairs, said that $39 of the building fee goes toward bonds issued for building the Centrum and the Student Center. Then $10 is for the planned student center expansion Phase II, as they call it, Southwick said. The remaining $3 of the building fee is used for paying off the construction loan for the Harris Pavilion. The second largest slice of the student services pie goes to the athletic department. The Board of Trustees has earmarked $19 for athletics. Kathryn Berg, associate athletic director, said that $3 has been set aside as a funding resource for compliance with requirements mandated by Title IX of the Education Amendment. Not meeting these federal guidelines would jeopardize $5 million in financial aid that students receive. Berg said that the remaining $16 is for the departments revenue budget. We field 13 NCAA sports: football, mens and womens basketball, womens softball, baseball, gymnastics, mens and womens cross country, outdoor and indoor track and mens golf, she said. Berg said that students with ID cards can attend all home games free. Not only do students benefit from free admissions to athletic events, they also have open access to campus-wid- e computer labs.

Crawford aims high Some people have difficulty keeping track of their successes, even on two hands. Its even harder for Roger Crawford, Thursdays Convocation speaker, because he has so many, and only three fingers to count them on. Crawford addressed an enthusiastic crowd at the Auditorium, and kept them laughing while he related his story of personal courage in the face of overwhelming obstacles, going on to become a professional tennis player and instructor. In his presentation entitled," You Can See My Handicap, But I Cant See Yours, Crawford stressed the importance of a positive mental attitude in facing lifes challenges. Attitude determines altitude, said Crawford, and using aviation as an example, he suggested to the audience that to succeed, we must keep our nose in the blue. Crawford addressed the audience with three questions: Where have you been? How long have you been there? Where are you going? and then went on to explain how he, through experience, has come to understand the importance of the answers in each persons life. The problem isnt aiming too high and missing; its aiming too low and hitting. He spoke about the trials he faced growing up, and some of the strategies he formed to turn those trials into rungs on the ladder to success.
