              New Structure Sets No Ceiling
No Limit To
A&S
By Glenn Padgett
Under the present fee
structure system every student
at FTU taking more than 9
quarter hours pays $34.50 of
their fee money into Activity
and Service Fees (A&S).
The new fee structure,
proposed by the Board of
Regents and now before the
Florida Legislature, every
student would pay $2.27 of the
$13.00 per credit hour fee into
the A&S account. Proponents of
the new system express the
viewpoint that this will make the
fee system more equitable for all
concerned. Opponents feel that
because there is no upper limit
on the amount of A&S money a
student could have to pay that
students taking more hours will
be unfairly paying for the
activities of those taking fewer
hours.
The new system has caused
the A&S budget advisory
committee to predict a drop in
A&S revenues for the coming
year in the amount of $12,000,
as reported in last week's
FuTUre.
A ruling from the
Comptroller General of the State
Of Florida that the Interest and
Sinking fund portion of the A&S
must be increased to offset the
deficit experienced in the past,
has also lessened the amount of
A&S money available.
The committee, which is
advisory in nature, in composed
of Assistant Vice President for
Student Affairs C.W. Brown,
chairman, University
Comptroller Joseph Gomez,
Director of Student
Organizations Jimmie Ferrell,
two faculty representatives and
three representatives of the
student body.
The student representatives
are Student Government
President Lee Constantine, SG
treasurer Dave Marr and student
Mark Hammond.
The committee receives the
proposed budgets from the
various areas which receive A&S
funds and allocates the available
funds to them insofar as it is
possible.
Areas receiving the funds are,
(for 1973-74), Student
Insurance, the above-mentioned
Interest and Sinking Fund,
Intercollegiate Athletics, and
Lake Claire Maintenance. These
areas are listed in the budget
under current obligations
meaning that the money
involved has been committed by
either a previous committee or
an outside source as in the case
of the Interest and Sinking fund.
For the coming year these
areas consume 50.9% of the
projected revenues, leaving the
balance of the budget to finance
the following activities;
Extramurals, FuTUre,
Intramurals, Student
Government, Student Health

Beer   In   MPR,  Cafe
For  FTU   Programs
By Torrey Stewart
Beer may be dispensed and consumed in the cafeteria and VC
Mutli-Purpose room during properly scheduled programs, after
adequate criteria are established, an FTU official said Tuesday.
In a policy statement approved for adoption by Vice President
for Student Affairs W. Rex Brown last Friday, he indicated that
the Village Center staff and student government members must
draw up and present to him the criteria for determining if
"substantive program" and "adequate supervision" prerequisites
accompany beer consumption in those locations.
After criteria approval, the VC staff is assigned to develop
events in the VC allowing beer consumption.
Beer and other alcoholic beverages may not be provided by
program participants or other outside sources, according to the
adopted policy, and special request procedures are necessary for
consumption in the cafeteria or multi-purpose room when
accompanying scheduled events.
Special dining events, such as banquets, may include beer if
Food Service Personnel are willing to assume responsibility for
adequate supervision and control according to the policy
statement.
Only the VC staff is allowed to schedule program events in the
cafeteria, and events scheduled for the multi-purpose room will
evolve through regular reservation procedures.
"For non-student FTU groups, the VC staff will determine if
special permission for beer may be granted depending on the
program and arrangements for adequate supervision and control
of beer at these events," the policy states.
i
To receive approval for been consumption in the
multi-purpose room, individuals representing groups must
complete and submit a standard Room Reservation form
requesting such permission at least five days prior to the date for
the scheduled program. The organization's president and an
advisor must co-sign this request.
Crew Wins Natl Meet
By Larry McCorkle
FTU's crew team, which had
come so close all year without
winning a race, waited for a most
appropriate time to win their first
race-the Dad Vail Regatta,
emblematic of small college
nationals. Add in winning the
prestlgous event, the Cinderella
FTU crew team showed eyjBrone
that a small college team with a
high school bujRet tii&ig a
borrowed boat could indeed
battle the best in the nation.
FTU'athlefic director Dr. John
Powf!W5PrfSWFpride in the six
FTU students and dSp* that
made the trip to Philadelphia.
"This has to be one of thymost
outstanding, if not THELmost
outstanding event to evernappen
to FTU sports," said Dx,£owell.
"It makes you proud/' said
Powell. "This is unbelievable. It
shows a tremendous amount of
dedication    by    the    team
members."
For FTU Crew Coach Dennis
Kamrad, it was the conclusion of
a most positive prophecy. Earlier
last week, Kamrad had stated that
it would take a very good crew
team to heat FTU, and as it
turned out, there wasn't any.
"It was a great way to end a
season," said Kamrad. "Our kids
wanted to show, everyone thai
they had the capacity to win. And
I must admit," he added, "I put
this crew through more strenuous
preparation than I've ever done
before." %*^"~-
Last week, the FTU four-man
team consisting of Bob Garapic,
Ralph Bateman, Ben Horton,
Martyn Dermis and coxie-j<3ison~
Pacha flew up to Philadelphia
with their own money in-order to
arrive fresh and ready for the
race. "The students handled
themselves    very    well,"    said
Kamrad who drove up with
alternate Guerin Rife in a van.
"They were relaxed and ready to
race."
Friday was the first
preliminary for FTU. The team
was using a boat borrowed from
the Universytaj^of Pennsylvania
the Dad Vail- Penn's coach,
_ lash, was a close associate of
Kamrad who visited FTU last
year. Nash himself was a former
Olympic golf medalist in the
four-man event in 1960.
In the first heat, FTU rowed a
comfortable race familiarizing
themselves with the new boat.
FTU finished second to
Massachuset'ESlittjipfy ingJorlftS
semi-finals Sata^Sy morning.
In the semifinals the following
morning, FT^UHook the leadjand
retained it beating the likes of
Villanova (Philadelphia City
Champions)," St. Johns, The
Citadel,    Manhatten    (former
champion at the Vail) and
Connecticut. In excellent
conditions, FTU rowed the
fastest time of the day as the
afternoon finals were in rougher
water. They never overextended
themselves.
In the other semi-final, FTU
was surprised to find that
Jacksonville, the State and
jgouthejp Champion, finished
fourth which knock them out of
the finals. Drexel, FIT and
tied for the
__t. Drexel was
another defending champion.
FTU pulled the outside lane        difficult course
losest to the stands. "We felt we
had a good lane," said Kamrad.
"We    had    a    good" - view   of
everyone."
FTU had nearly a one-length
lead with about 1,500 meters to
go in the race after an excellent
start. With about 1,400 meters
remaining, FTU started the first
of three strategic sprints or
bursts. This sprint further
lengthened FTU's lead. When the
field made a move on FTU,
another sprint at 1,000 meters to
go retained their lead and still
another burst with 700 meters
remaining put FTU far enough in
front that they had no problem
holding The Citadel off the
remaining 200 meters of the race.
£ "They rowed just about a
flawless race," said Kamrad.
"And Alison (Pacha) did an
excellent   job 'steering   on    a
After the race, Kamrad learned
from Nash that the borrowed
boat had never been beaten in
national competition. "It was a
beautiful boat," said Kamrad
adding that it was set up very
well.
