Need $15.0)O?
That amount of student activity
fees is available now after
collections this fall exceeded what
the University expected.
As a result, student
organizations can apply for an
increase in their budgets for this
year---and unfunded organizations
can ask for University money.
Dr. Paul P. Fidler, assistant vice
president for student affairs, said
the $15.)o would be allocated with
preference to organizations whose
budget reqluests were cut last
