Vol. 81, No. 18 Regents to set tuition in Tucson Robert Crook news reporter The setting o f tuition for the 1988-89 academic year tops the A rizona Board o f Regents agenda fo r its meeting tom orrow and Saturday at the University o f A rizon a in Tucson. The finance comm ittee’ s proposal calls for in-state tuition to increase by $82 to $1,278 fo r the fall 1988 and spring 1989 semesters. The $82 is an increase o f 6.9 percent from the current academic year’ s tuition o f $1,196. The committee also proposed to raise tuition for out-of-state students at U A and A rizona State University in Tem pe to $4,866, a $238 or 5.1 percent increase. Non-resident N A U students would pay $4,336 fo r the academic year, a $250 or 6.1 percent tuition hike. Karen Hardy, A S N A U president, said the regents most likely will pass tuition increases proposed by the regents’ finance comm ittee in October. At a N ov. 18 Phoenix public hearing on the proposed tuition increases, several students from the state’ s three universities expressed disapproval o f the finance com m ittee’ s proposal. At the public hearing, students expressed concerns there is not sufficient financial aid available to students, and the proposed tuition increases would keep some minority and lower-incom e students from attending a state university. The regents’ finance comm ittee unveiled its tuition hike proposal during ail Oct. 30 public hearing at U A . The N o v. 18 hearing came after A SU students requested it, because the final decision on tuition rates will be made at U A . The proposed tuition hikes are part o f a 10-year tuition plan drafted by the Council o f (university) Presidents. This academic year’s in-state tuition was 20 percent o f the cost o f education, an estimation o f what it costs to educate one university student for an academic year. This year’ s C O E figure is $6,010. The Council o f Presidents has recommended students pay an increase o f 0.5 or 1 percent o f the C O E each year. The council’ s goal is to have resident students pay 25 percent o f the C O E by the end o f 10 years. The C O E for the 1988-89 year has been set at $6,238. Th e recommended in- state tuition o f $1,278 is 20.5 percent o f the C O E , a 0.5 percent increase. The recommended tuition fo r non-resident N A U students is 69.5 percent o f the C O E , up 1.5 percent from this academic year’ s 68 percent. N onresident U A and A SU students are recommended to pay 78 percent o f COE, up 1 percent over the current levels. Under the Council o f President?/proposal, non-resident N A U students would pay 75 percent o f the C O E and non-resident A S U and U A students would pay 85 percent o f the C O E by the end o f 10 years. State funds cover the portion o f the C O E that students’ tuition does not. The proposal also recommends resident tuition and fees remain in the lower one-third o f the rates charged by public universities throughout the nation. It also recommends non-resident tuition and fees remain in the lower two-thirds o f national rates. Tuition will not automatically be raised by 0.5 or 1 percent o f the C O E each year, as the Council ot Presidents’ proposal and the finance committee's recommendation to the regents spells out, according to Hardy and Mick Dalrymple, executive director o f A rizon a Students* Association, an organization representative o f the state’ s three universities. Hardy and D alrym ple said the main purpose o f the tuition plan is to arrive at specific tuition figures that can be raised or lowered after debate. 'Th ey (the Council o f Presidents) were upset at how tuition was seemingly set arbitrarily, as a free-fo r-a ll,” Dalrymple said. The purpose o f the council’ s proposal is to have tuition figures to start w ith, rather than figures “ taken out o f the air,” H ardy said. Under the tuition setting plan, each year the regents would consider such changing factors as the availability o f financial aid and increases in other student costs (such as books and room and board) before they set final tuition rales, she said. Hardy said there might or might not be further discussion from the public on the proposed tuition increases during the regents* meeting. She said the regents must decide on next academic year’ s tuition rates at this month’ s meeting because the state must know the tuition rates before it can allocate funds to the universities. The regents most likely will pass the finance com m ittee’ s recommended tuition rates fo r the 1988-89 academic year, according to H ardy and Dalrymple. The m ajority o f the regents have said they support the finance com m ittee’ s recommendations, they said. Sigma Chi fraternity loses official quarters Matt C liffo rd news reporter A m id s t co m p la in ts fr o m neighbors bout noisy parties, littering and nderage drinking, the university chapter o f the Sigma Chi fraternity has lost the right to have its headquarters at 406 S Beaver, said Ed Beasley, assistant to the F la gstaff city manager. The city zoning and planning commission voted N ov. 24 to revoke the fraternity’ s conditional use permit, which allow ed the Sigma Chi house to exist in an area where it would ordinarily be prohibited by zoning law’s, he said. Th e fraternity will now have to remove its letters from the building and will not be allowed to hold o fficia l functions there, he said. “ There was a series o f events this fall leading up to this. ’ ’ he said. “ It was not the result o f any one incident ’ ’ Beasley said members o f Sigma Chi have caused excessive noise, allowed parties to spill over on to neighboring property and failed to cooperate with police to prevent minors from drinking, all o f which are violations o f the conditions the city set up when it issued the permit. Many o f these conditions were taken from the fratern ity’ s own by-laws, he said. “ By not fo llow in g their own rules, they perpetuated the gravity o f the situation,” he said. “ W e met with them several times to go over the rules, so there was no doubt in anybody’ s mind about what those rules w ere.” T w o separate groups o f the fraternity’ s neighbors have filed form al complaints with the planning and zoning commission. Members o f the Religious Society o f Friends com plained in a letter dated N o v. 23 they have had problems with Sigma Chi for years. The letter cites incidents o f loud noise and the dumping o f trash on their lot, which is adjaccnt to the fraternity house. “ Even aside from the abuses o f neighborhood courtesy, we are not com fortable with having a fraternity next door, especially with our children outside playing,” the letter concludes. “ There is much evidence for beer drinking, partying and loud music, but we have yet to experience any positive social or neighborly valu e/’ Another letter citing similar complaints was signed by 15 residents o f the area and submitted to the com mission N os. 10. Both letters asked the board to revoke the conditional use permit. Mike A fflerbaugh, vice president o f Sigma Chi, refused to comment on the matter pending a possible appeal o f the decision to the city council. Another member o f the frater-niiy said Sigma Chi officials met with board members before they voted, but were unable to affect the outcome. “The decision was made before we walked in the door,” he said. “ It had nothing to do with what we told them at a ll.” Beasley said although a number o f fraternities were issued con d itional use permits three years ago. Sigma Chi is the only one the city has had problems with. Th e city issued the permits as a temporary measure to allow exceptions in its zoning laws, which make no provisions for fraternity houses, he said. They were issued with the understanding N A U would come up with a plan within five years to move fraternities on campus, he said. Art Farmer, adviser fo r the InterFraternity Council, said there are no plans to build housing specifically fo r fraternities in the near future “ due to budgetary considerations.” but the council is looking into the idea o f constructing “ group housing” which would be available to various student groups, including fraternities. NAU Ski Club to seek refund for 4-day trip Lesle> M itchell news reporter The N A U Ski Club which went on a ski trip from Novem ber 25 to 29 say they did not receise services they paid for. A ski club member w ho spoke on the condition he not be identified said Dynamic Tours, the company that o ffered the trip through the club, claimed there would be much snow fall during the four-day trip. The ski club arrived in Salt Lake City late N ov. 25 after a 13-hour bus ride. Rumors o f no snow were circulating, so the ski club called the weather service, he said. He said Dynamic Tours could have called ahead to see i f there was snow or not, but instead they arrived in Salt Lake City not knowing the weather conditions. “ A ll they had to do was make a call and find out,' ’ he said. A fter calling the weather service, the ski club realized there would be no snow . “ Seven to ten people flew home at this poin t,” he said.' A fter club members were in form ed there would not be heavy snow, Dynamic Tours scheduled in fo rmative meetings which were poorly organized and frequently canceled, he said. Those members remaining on the trip skied fo r one day and one evening, instead o f fou r full days, he said. Members who went on the trip paid approxim ately $225 fo r a double room and $190 fo r a single, he said. Most organizations planning outdoor sports will make a clear-cut cancellation provision, which will account fo r conditions which are beyond human control (like the weather), said N A U attorney Robert Lippman. Lippm an said refunding money the ski club definitely used, would be very difficu lt. Transportation, hotel accomm odations and meals were used by members w ho remained on the trip. Lippman said he does not know’ what arrangements the ski club made with Dynamic Tours, and cannot predict if there will be even a partial refund. Many members o f the ski club wanted to m ove to a spot seven hours away where there was heavy s n o w fa ll, but p r o b le m s w ith Dynamic Tours and the Hilton developed, the ski club member said. He said the club plans to take action to have their money refunded. “ People were very angry,” he said. “ There could have been great respect for a com pany who tried to accomm odate weather changes. Self-inflicted gunshot takes life of teacher Robert Crook news repon er An N A U philosophy professor died N o v. 20 from what the C oconino County S h e r iffs Department said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Alfred D ewey Jensen o f Flagstaff, 44, was found dead in a wooded area south o f Interstate 40 about 10 miles east o f Flagstaff, according to S h eriffs Detective J g ff Greene. Greene said that at 1 p.m. a sh eriff’ s deputy and a Forest Service employee found Jensen’ s body about 200 yards from his vehicle Jensen had shot himself once in the head with a .22-caliber revolver. Greene said. Jensen had a long medical history and “ probably was in a lot o f pain ,” Greene said. He said the s h e riffs department does not suspect foul play in the shooting. Jensen had been a professor o f philosophy at N A U for 16 years and had written many theological and other philosophical articles and publications. He also lectured widely. Jensen was born M ay 6, 1943, in Bennet, Neb. He received his doctorate at the University o f Texas at Austin in 1970. In 1971, he came to N A U from Pennsylvania as assistant professor. He was prom oted to associate professor in 1978. He was on N A U ’ s faculty senate in 1970 and 1971 and again in 1983 to 1986. He also was on the Honors Com m ittee from 1974 to 1976. He served in various other university organizations as well. Jensen is survived by his w ife, M argaret, and tw o sons, Robert Ethan Jensen, 20, an N A U student, and Daniel Thane Jensen, 17, all o f Flagstaff. Master set of keys stolen from residence complex Sue Shellon _____________ ____________ news reporter The theft o f a set o f master keys from Campus Heights Family Housing left residents unaware o f a possible security threat fo r several weeks. Sometime between Oct. 30 and N ov. 1, a set o f keys, valued at $5, was stolen from the Campus Heights O ffice, according to police reports. H ow ever, the o ffic e was not broken into. N A U Police O fficer Charles M ilam said. The theft was reported N ov. 4. A $52-cash burglary from the o ffic e was reported also, according to reports. The missing keys were a set o f master keys to C am pus Heights, Rick Brandel, interim director o f Residence L ife, said. “ But we don ’ t feel that there is any security threat.” During the first week in Novem ber, a Campus Heights resident, who wishes lo remain anonymous, was approached by a couple o f her neighbors requesting change for laundry. Residents are usually able to obtain up to $3 change per day from the o ffic e for laundry facilities. A fter questioning the request, the resident was told that change was no longer being given out because a tbelt had occurred in ihe o ffic e around the first o f Novem ber. The resident said she was later called by Campus Heights Residence Hall Director Pam Rossi and asked how she knew about the theft. A fter explaining what she had heard, the resident was inform ed the case was still under investigation and they (Campus Heights) were trying lo keep it quiet. “ W e are not sure if the keys were lost or stolen,' Rossi said. N o o fficia l nolice o f the theft has been distributed to the residents, Rossi said. According to Locksmith Supervisor Charles Snelling, normal work orders for changed locks currently take between 3-4 working days to complete. A fter learning that a set o f master door lock keys was taken, ihe resident requested a lock change which took a week to accomplish . A hypothetical set o f stolen master keys to a dor mitory would constitute an emergency, Snelling said, because it would involve having to change all the locks. The Campus Heights’ incident was not deemed an emergency and locks were only replaced after a request was received, Rossi said. About 10 residents had their locks changed but no thefts have been reported since the incident. Rossi said. Snelling refused to give statistical inform ation regarding number o f changed locks in ihe past tw o weeks, but stated that routinely, his o ffic e perform s about 1.500 recodes a year. A decision to phase out the older locks and install new locks at Campus Heights was received on M o n day, Rossi said. A notice will g o out this week advising Campus Heights residents that old locks are being phased out and new locks will be installed in the near future, she said.
