Lack of Interest w.as given as the main reason for withdrawing sponsorship In another student. government area, activity fees for SGA organized affairs have heen replaced by a set allotment from the students' tuition President Hopple and several other members of the SGA executive committee discussed the idea of abolishing the activity fee last spring with acting college president Dr. Allan Mund. Several reasons were given for adopting the new system: I) Only 21 3 of the student body paid the $15 fee last year . 2) Using a set amount from the tuition to support SeA functions would spread the responsibility to the SeA over the entire campus and would unify the students. 3) The new system would do away with the com- pucauons i~volved_ in _ selling activity cards.
