U.C. to Consider 50 Percent Hike In Student Fees

Charge Would Increase From $20 to $30

In other business at the joint meeting,committee members considered new summer storageproposals for students.

Quincy House Master Michael Shinagel proposedthat each student be allowed up to 12 cubic feetfor storage during the summer. But students wholive within 100 miles of the College would not bepermitted to store over the summer.

The storage guidelines are being reformed tosatisfy "superintendents who would like toeliminate storage and students who would like toincrease storage," Shinagel said.

In a pitch for the proposal, some committeemembers labeled last semester's expansion of theCabot Library hours a success.

In an attempt to satisfy increasing demand forlate-night study time, Cabot Library extended itshours during reading period to 3 a.m. lastsemester.

According to yesterday's proposal, an averageof 15 students used the library between the hoursof 12:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. during "peak time"-thesecond week of reading period.
