Student Opportunity Given For Expression On Fee Distribution Work Of Group Expected To Be Finished In Time For Second Semester The student-faculty committee on reallocation conducted a campus poll to complete the fourth step of their long discussed plan to re apportion student fees. The poll was conducted at a meeting of the student body held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, during a chapel meeting authorized by Pres. J. Rion McK*ssick to meet in the University field house. All organizations now included in the fee were listed, with students given opportunities to indicate the allocation they felt just for them. Bobby Browne, spokesman for the committee gave a running ex planation of the organizations and their purposes, as the student body voted. Also included in the poll were several groups which do not now receive an allocation. These were voted for or against, with opportu nity given for students to submit sample portions of the fee that they felt just. John A. Chase, Jr., chairman of the committee announced today that results are being tabulated of the poll and that the committee ex pects to meet soon to consider the results. After consideration of the poll, the committee will make up its final listing of allocation for presentation to a student affairs board elected from and authorized by the board of trustees.
