See HOUSING, Page 4 Stud&tits pay more for better care By Matthew Saxe THE WESTERN FRONT Students will have more complete health service in 2002- 2003. With the increase in student health service fees and the completion of the Campus Services Facility, health services and information will be more easily available to students. The increase in student fees from $46.50 to $48 per quarter will provide for a part-time, temporary clinic position to manage records and information for use online. Students will be able to retrieve lab results, healthcare reminders .arid private co'mniu-nications from the health staff. "Students are appreciating that they have access to services," said Dr. Emily Gibson of Western's Student Health Center. "We see 120-130 students every day. We're busier every year." The new facility will provide three examination rooms instead of one for each of the heath care specialists. Gibson said one health service visit in Bellingham was a comparable cost to a student's whole quarterly health services fee covering unlimited visits. See HEALTH, Page 4 Dian McClurg/ The Western Front The Board of Trustees break ground Friday for the Student Recreation Center. Senior Jeff Allen, a resident undergraduate who will see a $409 increase next year, said a 14 percent increase will make affording school more difficult. "That's $50 a month less I have to spend on rent," he said. Sophomore Louise Hanazan, a non-resident undergraduate, said many students' financial aid will be adversely affected. "If you have a scholarship, (the increase) just negates your scholarship," she said. Hanazan, and other non-residents, will see a tuition increase of 8 percent, or $852 a year. According to President Morse's budget proposal, graduate students will face a 3 percent increase, increasing tuition costs $142 arid $440 for resident and non-resident graduate students respectively. Associated Students President Corey Eichner said he knows the trustees faced a difficult decision, but he feels the increase See TUITION, Page 4 raises port student B-gallery in the Western Fine Arts building. llKliilijiiii||S^ilili Rec center seeks green certification By Mike Baab THE WESTERN FRONT The^ new,recreation, center, scheduled:-to 6pettHri>2003,' 'will1 be £hie'_ iriost eriviibnmentally; sound fabMty>Weste^ii;.has;:eyer;- built.
