Louisville Cardinal Vol. XLVI No. 10 Room 117, Otter Hall, Louisville, Ky. 40208 Senate nixes fee referendtJtm by Kenny Vandevelde The University Student Senate at its weekly meeting Tuesday voted support for a mandatory student activity fee for most full-time undergraduate students on Belknap Campus next year, and voted down two motions, either of which would have required a student referendum on the issue. The Senate vote was recommendative only. The Board of Trustees must approve all fees before they are official. The Senate recommendation came from its Activities Committee, composed of Senators David King, Ed Lowry, and Joe Fowler. According to Director of the Union for Student Activity (USA) George Howe the USA supported the Senate's recommendation on the fmancing of student activities. The proposal recommended: (I) that an activity fee of $5 per semester be charged for the fall and spring semesters, (2) that the activity fee be mandatory for all undergraduate full-time students in the following school: A&S, School of Education, School of Business, School of Police Administration, ·and Speed Scientific School (including the fifth year professional students), (3) that the activity fee be voluntary for the following units: School of Music, University College, School of Law, School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, Kent School of Social Work, the Graduate School, part-time students in any unit, faculty, and staff, (7) that the review committee strongly consider the · possibility of activity funding without the imposition of an activity fee on students via direct university funding, and (8) that recommendati0as from the review be made to the Student Senate for appropriate action. The fee was proposed as a voluntary one for certain groups in the belief that these groups would benefit less from the activities to be financed by the fee. The recommndation was controversial. Senator Ian Sonego moved an amendment that would have required a referendum to determine whether the students affected wanted :a mandatory fee. Supporters of a referendum argued that the students should lbe consulted before being assessed a $10 annual fee. Sonego observed that the USA had held such a referendum two years ago and that, at that time, the full-time undergraduates had approved the fee , but only for $6 a year and only for that one year. In opposing the referendUlm, Chairman of USA Robbie Merrick argued that the student activities were too important for the Senate to risk students' voting not to have a fee, thereby ending the activities program. Senate Vice-President Dan Flynn, who also opposed the referendum, said the Senate should be able to speak for the students, without having to rely on a (Contim:ed c·i page 2) Mayor Harvey Sloane spoke on campus Wednesday to gamer support for the Nov. 5 TARC refere Photograph by Richard Yetter ( 4) that the Uruon for Student Activity be empowered to charge an extra fee for events where a controlled admission can be implemented; however, the amount of .the extra fee would be at the discretion of the Student Senate, Sloane speaks I• n support of TARC (5) that the imposition of the activity fee be for the remaining year of the biennium (1975-76) only, (6) that a review of the activity fee be made during the '75-'76 academic year, by Kenny Vandevelde Failure to pass the T ARC referendum November 5 will leave Louisville with "a bleak future," Mayor Harvey Sloane told a University of Louisville audience Wednesday. Sloane spoke at noon to a crowd consisting of a couple hundred students and a sprinkling of faculty members. Sloane came to urge his listeners to support the referendum on election day. Among the consequences he listed that would result from the defeat of the referendum were the following: Student health hires six physicians by Debbie Holmes Six physicians have been hired to staff the University of Louisville's Student Health Center, located in White Hall at Belknap Campus. Along with Dr. C.H. Luhr, the doctors are part of a program funded by the student fees imposed at the beginning of the fall term. The six doctors are, Dr. R. Chism, Dr. J. Dean, Dr. W. Jennings, Dr. J. Kuhn, Dr. J. Faurest, and Dr. T. Stephenson, all practice in the same clinic in the south end of Louisville and will have office hours at the Health Center on a ·rotating basis. The office hours have been extended from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The physicians' ·. ·. actual hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. From 4:30 to 8:30 on weekdays and during Saturday hours, a clerk and a registered nurse will be in the center, with a physician on calf in the event of an emergen1cy. Dr. Luhr expects to adjust his office hours to coincide with the other physicians' hours to insure complete professional coverage. The six physicians are in Family Practice and one female doctor expected to work at the center is a foreign fellow in Family Practice. Doctors must take residency and additional training to become members of Family Practice. Although walk-in patients are accepted, Dr. Luhr urged that the students make appointmen1ts. "We will try to have two physicians - one to take walk-ins and one to take appointment patients. Naturally we will take emergency cases first, but our work here can be more effective if students will try to make appointments." Dr. Luhr added that students who take allergy shots should continue taking then during the day when a doctor is present. Any other times should be .discussed with Dr. Luhr. Receptionist Mrs. Jean Tucker is available during office hours Monday through Friday to make appointments. She spoke of the plans the Health Center has.
