Student Center Update
The University Student Center, located south-west of campus bet¬ ween the HB and PE buildings, is near completion! Started late in 1984, this 42,000 square-foot building is expected to be open for student use in April, 1986.
Funding for the project started in 1980, when student service fees were put into an Escro account. Since then, the student service fee has reached its ceiling of $15 per student per semester.
According to Jane Duckworth, Director of Student Activities, this multi-purpose center will serve as UTSA's "living room," a place to "hang out" in between classes or on weekends. Built by the Carta Bianca Corporation, the new Student Center will offer a recreation room complete with darts, pool, video and card games;' two TV rooms; and a two-story lounge   with   a   fireplace.   Also
available are meeting rooms and a large room for dances and ban¬ quets. This dramatic "ballroom," complete with a sixteen-foot ceil¬ ing, seats 250 to 300 people for film viewing or lectures.
Another area of the Student Center will house student wwk space. Thirty cubicals will offer typewriters, reading lamps, and lockable file cabinets to those who wish to use them. And don't worry, if you get the munchies while you are studying or relax'
during the day, and popcorn, nachos, and snacks at night, is
another place to eat your fill. You can eat and lounge under a tree on
the large garden patio, or up above on a second-floor balcony.
Films and cultural events will take place in the Student Center
throughout the semester. The University Center Program Coun¬ cil, will decide what is offered.
Most of the activities are already

Active Or Not — Service Fee Assessed To All Students      Reps Introduce
by Lori L. Smith Staff Writer
As most students know, tuition is only $120.00 per hour for Fall, 85'. This reflects the increase that we have heard so much about. So what's the problem? If a student enrolls for 12 hours, the bill should be $144 - right?
WRONG. Tuition is not only item that students pay for each semester.   They   pay   to   be   a
member of the student life at UT¬ SA, regardless of their activities at school. They are paying addi¬ tional fees that are automatically added to their bill. The University collects a General fee, a Student Service fee, and a University Center fee.
The General fee is used to repay bonds sold in 1980 when UTSA built the MS and ARTS buildings. A portion of this fee is
also allotted for the new Universi¬ ty Center Building.
The Student Service fee has been increased this semester from $6.50 per housr to $7.50 per hour. This fee supports offices that are used by students, such as on- campus counseling services, the Student Health Service, and the Student Representative
Assembly.
The University Center fee sup¬ ports both University Center pro¬
grams (concerts, speakers, etc.), and the new University Center Building.
These miscellaneous fees add up: 12 hours •$12.00 per hour for tuition ($144), plus the General fee of $6.00 per hour ($216), plus the Student Services fee of $7.50 per house ($306), plus $15.00 for the University Center fee: a grand total of $321.00 for 12 semester house at UTSA.
