t fee t take In UCSD Vote Students are voting at UCSD on whether to abol sh mandato- ry activity fees. Or arc they? For another three days stu- dents will vnte yes or no on this question: Should students be forc;ed to pay a $6 student activ- ity fee every se'Tlester'' According to Associated Stu- dents president Paul Kaufman, the lJCSD student body can topple the mandator\' fee svs- tem if 50 per cent of the vot~rs want ii that way. Kaufman ays. "If \\P, get 2.j()() students to turn out. And if 50 per c nt plus one vote to end the fe , the regen wil, end them." REGE. 'TS' POSITIO.. However, spokesmen for the regents say it is far more com- plicated It may end up with the stu- dents voting out their own con- trol over fees that will reappear on reg1strat1on bills anyway, according to Vice Chancellor George \lurphy. \lurphy sav the fmal deci- sion may be up to the regents many case: "If the students vote out mandatory fees, l am certain the UCSD admmis ation would be bound lo r!'commend that the regents follow suit." But the UCSD admmistrat1on alsn would ' probably be forced to ask the regents to put some of he fees back on ;n another category.'' EXPLAII\'.S SITUATION ~lurphy explams it this way. Every student at L'CSD now pays a mandatory $6 fee every quarter - excluding the sum- mer term. The reveJ]ue from this goes to finance hundreds or activ1t1es - including lectures. films and publications like the Tnton Times, the campus newspaper. "We would have to weigh a number of factors to see which types of fees we would have to recommend that the regents put back on o student pavment schedules," sa.id Mw·phy. This_ a s hat pa rt of the mandaton m n . -01ed out by · this weeli could be restored s a ublicalions fee ' or as •·activities fees'' The major difference would be tha the students would no longer have direct control over allocation of the revenue as they do now.

I At the same lime. he said he would not make promises whtch could not be kept. • We are all aware of the very grave constitutional questions which have arisen in the past, each time the state or the fed- eral government has under- taken to provide aid to non- pubh schools, ' the President added .

If the UCSD students vote out the fees, they will be the first studeny body to do so_ A refer- endum on the CC Berkeley campus last year to end the mandatory membership failed . . A spokesman for: the regents m Sacramento said that there is a growing move on all the campu~es to end the mandatory membership. But now all the campuses have the forced fees. state•suP- ported uni~ersity or college with a similar situation oc- curred nearly two years ago at Sonoma State College. There students voted to disband the entire associated student body organization There have also been a num- ber of occasions where students have appeared before both UC regents and state college trustees to request generally' that fees m e voluntary. Ironically here is a referen- dum pn lhe same ballot to spend student fees in a new wa}. for a legal aid sevrice. That referendum asks if stu- dents want to use $1 of their existing AS fees to provide le• gal service for any AS member arrested. The only public
