The user fee, which charged student and nonstudent organizations for the use of Russell House if the organizations charged admission to the event, will no longer affect student organizations as of Oct. 5, said Jerry Brewer, dean of Student Life. The fee will still affect non-student organizations. "Because the finance bill is going through, the user fee was taken away," Student Government President Marie-Louise Ramsdale said. Money from student activity fees will now be used to fund Russell House. User fees paid by student organizations will be refunded, Brewer said. These fees have been held and not used, so the money will be returned to the student organizations that paid the fees. The user fee charges began at the end of this past spring semester to fund the upkeep of Russell House, he said. Events that were charged user fees were broken up into three affiliations: student organizations, university departments and non-university departments. Fees will no longer be charged to student organizations, and the money received to this point was held and will be repaid. Money from events affiliated with university or non-university departments was used to buy new equipment and furnishings and will continue to be used. The money from the fee was used to buy tables, chairs, plants, technical equipment and other furniture and supplies, Brewer said. After asking several places for funding and being turned down, the user fee was instated, Brewer said, but if S.G. agreed to use student activity fees, it was to be taken away. "It was a last resort," he said about the fee. McBryde quad l By ANTHONY HODGE Staff Writer A newly devised security measure for residents of the McBryde quad has many students in an uproar. To increase safety in the McBryde quad area, iron gates have been placed around the living quarters. In addition, a sentry house is now located at the Sumter Street entrance to the quad.
