The one- and one - half - hour meeting was interrupted at several points by heated personal ex changes and momentarily flashing tempers. Igniting the outbursts was a quorum call by Sen. Richard Mor rell, who objected when several senators left the chambers. After an exchange between Sen ate President Jim Mulligan and ' Sen. Bill McDougald over a chair decision, Mulligan rebuked the Senate for its being boisterous while quorum was being deter mined. "I cannot honestly hear the sec rotary cnll the role on the average Senate day," he dleclared.h "I don't enjoy s it ti ng here playing games; I have be tt er r things to do," he said over cries of "out of order." "This has become a tremendous Wednesday after-, noon something-or-other . . . It's become a damn mockery." Later Mulligan told the Senatej "Attendance is horrible.

Managing Editor Fees for housing, food, activities and special expenses will be raised fall semester, increasing payment for some students by more than $,30. "The most extensive change in housing fees will affect women's residence halls," Vice President for Business Affairs Harold Brunton said this week. "All women's dorm itories rent will increase $10." lou'ing f c e s for men's resi dence halls will remnain the same except for adjustment of specific roomr fecs in Columbia Hall. Whereas a uniform r e n t was charged this year in the former hotel dormitory, single rooms with baths will increase $1-5 and three to four-man suites with baths will decrease $15 this year. All students will pay $5 more in activity fees. The activity funds hike was approved overwhelmingly in a campus referendum Dec. 9 and recently received f i n a 1 ap proval from the Board of Trustees. A $2.50 special fee, levied by state law on all University stu dents, will help pay the debt serv ice of a $2 million state bond for Carolina Coliseum. Brunton attributed higher rates for housing to an increase in the minimum wage, which became ef fective Feb. 1, and to rising com petition for labor in Columbia. The rising price of food and labor has also forced a rise in meal pric,s, Brunton said. 11e optional Hoard Plans of fered by ARA-Slater Food Service have been increased by $17.60. HIowever, this increase, which ap plies to the five-day and seven day plans, includes an additional allotment of $.30 to present daily rates. In accounting for the jump in only women's dorm rent, the ad ministrator said that operating ex-, pensos of women's residence halls ' are noticeably greater t h a n for s men's because of maid service and ' paid supervision. Asked if the fees established for fall semester will remain the same for spring 1968 terni, Brunton said, "All fees are subject to change r without notice. At the same time v the University has not found it necessary to change fees within an C academic year."a 4 Warm We at 4 mr skies brought many members reckend to ak Un the ...., ...ab Sen.
