Beginning this winter term, registra-tion fees will increase f from $10 to$17.50, according to Sally Fyke of thecollege's business office. CThe increase is due to the ever risingcost of paper and maintenance of thecomputer, Fyke said.John M aus, director of finance , saidthe cost of maintaining the computeris increasing. "As the Hewlett-Packard3000 (the college computer) ages, thecost of maintenance goes up." tAnd the cos t has cer ta in lyescalated, according to Pat Benekos,director of the computer center. "It' s adifficult situation . The computer com-pan ies want more money fo rmaintenance agreement contracts dueto the age of the equipment."The $7.50 increase will be reexamin-ed after spring term registration,William P. Garvey, president of Mer-cyhurst College, said. "Registrationwjll not go any higher next year. It ma ^evefT'OU adjusTed tfrjp year .

The budget did notcorrespond correctly with this type ofenrollment. Therefore, registrat ionfees-had to be increased," Dr. Garveysaid.Lillian Cohen, coordinator of theAdult College, believes; adult studentsmight be hard hit with the new fee. Butshe agreed thafi services rendered atMercyhurstSare still the number>fonereason adults choose to come here.Unlike most colleges in the area,Mercyhurst does not charge a com-puter service fee. Villa Maria Collegecharges $25 penterm, while Gannoncharges every studen t $100 for a com-puter lab fee each year. >,Cohen also said the cost for theadult student here coordinates withthe tu ition and fees of other colleges inthe area....;& fc& ^-afe^" 'No one likes to increase coats, buttherealTfy oflhe matteF"ls, Ir s thecost of doing business," Maus said.

Can students st illafford to! register?College cos ts just can't be beat anymore. Another priceincrease will affect your wallets as winter term registra-tion rolls around. i- i *The registration fee has jumped from $10 to $17.50. Theadditional cost was printed in the winter term schedulewhich ^appeared on campus this week.Many students may not have .been aware of theprevious registration fee, so the additional $7.50 may beunnoticed.While the ad ditional cost may not be astronomical, thesituation must be examined from an overall perspective.In these term s, students are paying an extra $15 toregister. h ^Students who are trying to make ends meet are en-countering another expense. In addition to purchasingbooks each term and paying tuitio n, students are nowfaced with paying more money to register. This becomesa burden for those students striving for? financialindependence. -.The extra $15 is a burden to the students but it benefitsthe registration process. The administration is concernedwith. maintaining the computers so efficiency can be re-tained. Avoiding a price increase while at the same timemaintaining efficiency are the two objectives whichshould have been exercised. i' However,the s tudents seem to be the ones paying for amiscalculation in the college's budget. Financing Jheregistration process should have been accounted forprior to the academic year, not in the middle of it.It was stated by the college president that the registra-tion fee may be adjusted in the future but students muststill pay the additional fee this term.
