Tuition hike
Summer fees jump
By David Wasson
managing editor
Summer session tuition at
Western will jump 15 percent to
$460 for full-time undergraduate
students, the Board of Trustees
decided last week.
The summer tuition hike was
necessary, administrators said,
because legislators did not allocate
state funds to universities
for summer programs. To operate,
state schools must be selfc
sufficient, they said.
In addition to the tuition
increase, free enrollment for
faculty, staff, and elderly
Washington residents has been
suspended. Also suspended are
reduced rates for Southeast
Asian veterans and waivers for
international students.
The number of paid faculty
members will drop to 100 from
last year's 130, according to documents
submitted to the trustees.
Western President G. Robert
Ross told trustees Thursday he
had hoped the legislature would
reverse its decision. But it
appears no financial help will
arrive, he said.
Western has the second largest
summer session in Washington,
Ross said. The tuition increase
-will parallel tuition costs at Central
Washington University,
administrators said, and will be
considerably less than the University
of Washington's $530
full-time undergraduate tuition.
The proposal was approved
unanimously.
WashPIRG wants
emergency election
Trying to secure the chance to
collect spring quarter registration
contributions, members of
the Washington Public Interest
Research Group confirmed their
plans yesterday to sponsor an
emergency revalidation election
this week.
WashPIRG chair Erin Hughes
said group members will find out
today if any regulations prohibit
them from holding theelection
without advance publicity.
A successful election would
insure the group's negative
check-off box appears on spring
quarter registration cards, she
said. The group needs only to
collect greater than 50 percent
support among students who
vote.
WashPIRG failed to attract
contributions from at least 50
percent of registering students
fall and winter quarters. The low
contribution figures failed to
meet the minimum contribution
clause in the group's contract.
The group asked Western's
Board of Trustees last week to
overlook its contract failures so'
it could collect spring contributions.
But trustees postponed the
decision. Spring registration begins
Feb. 21.
v Hughes said WashPIRG
hopes to have election booths
available tomorrow and Thursday.
The urgency, she said, was
created because Monday is the
deadline for getting on the registration
card.
The revalidation election
plans will be.cancelled, Hughes
said, if it will violate any
regulations.

Semester survey begins
By Craig Crandall
staff reporter
Academic planners considering
switching Western to a
semester system said they have
begun surveying opinions of university
faculty members.
Preliminary results are
expected Feb. 18, said Academic
C o o r d i n a t i n g Commission
Chairman Tom Downing.
The results are expected to be
instrumental in determining
whether a formal semester system
proposal will be drafted.
Additionally, a semester system
sub-committee that will
probe the semester possibility
was formed, said commission
member Allan Sleeman.
Committee members are
Christopher Suczek, of the geology
department, a supporter of
the current quarter system; John
Richardson, of the sociology
department, neutral; and Sleeman,
of the economics department,
a supporter of the "early"
semester system.
"There seems to be a great deal
of paranoia among the colleagues
feeling that we're trying
to be pushed one way," Sleeman
said at Tuesday's ACC meeting.
After the meeting Sleeman
.said, "(I don't) advocate moving
to a semester system unless we
can take-two years to do it."
Faculty members are being
surveyed primarily because
Western's campus has more professors
who have experience with
both systems than students,
according to a memo from Sleeman
to the Front.
According to the memo,"The
decision to survey only faculty
reflects, I think, two concerns:
