Course fees in the art department
range from $8 to $58, said Kelly
Craven, who works in the accounting
office in the art department. The aver-
age course fee is $25.
Craven said the lower fees are
usually for general art survey courses,
such as art history. The more expen-
sive fees are for studio courses, such
as the ceramics studio and photogra-
phy studio courses, she said.
“The students are basically buying
materials from the department that we
get at a wholesale rate,” Craven said.

Three Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members turned them-
selves in to Denton police after warrants had been issued
in connection with the alcohol poisoning of a pledge last
month.
Fraternity members Edward J. Carrington, Marshall
sophomore, Jeffrey Newton, Plano junior, and Michael
Eubank went to police with their attorneys Tuesday and
were arrested on hazing charges. They were each released
on $200 bond later that day, police said.
A fraternity member, who would not comment for the
story, said Eubank is an NT student; however that infor-
mation could not be varified Wednesday evening.
As a result of the alcohol poisoning of Michael Brown,
Irving freshman, the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, known as
the “Pikes,” was put on disciplinary probation for a year
by the Dean of Students Office for serving alcohol to a
minor.
However, the fraternity was cleared by the university
of any hazing charges based on a joint investigation of the
Dean of Students Office and the Interfraternity Council.
Zach Tucker, IFC adviser, said the arrests do not
change the council’s decision.
“We did our investigation and decided it wasn’t haz-
ing,” he said. “It is simply a difference of interpreting the
(hazing) law.”
Assistant District Attorney Kevin Henry said the charges
were based on the hazing statute that prohibits activities
which could cause someone to be injured in an attempt to
not be thrown out of an organization.
Dean of Students Greg Sawyer said, “At this point, this
has not affected their status as students. We are going to
wait and see what information the police have uncovered.
I am open to entertaining new information, but presently
we are not going to attempt to relook at the case.”
The three students could not be reached for comment

COLLEGE STATION (AP)
— Texas A&M University Wed-
nesday sidelined its Corps of Ca-
dets’ cavalry unit after a female
cadet reported three members as-
saulted her last week to keep her
from joining the all-male group.
The woman reported she was
attacked Sept. 17 in a parking lot
and threatened further harm if she
did not withdraw her application to
the Parsons’ Mounted Cavalry.
University police director Bob
Wiatt said at the time there was not
a full report of the woman’s inju-
ries, but she was wearing a sling on
her arm when she was interviewed
by the officers and had been treated
for anxiety at the student health
center.

Course fees to many students are a
mystery — they show up on tuition
bills and are paid. But how is the
money from these fees used, and why
are some course fees $5 while others
can cost up to $400?
Course fees, according to the 1991-
92 tuition and fee register, cover the
cost of consumable supplies, syllabi,
tests, salaries and wages for graders
and lab assistants and some equip-
ment that students use.
Every student pays a minimum $5
fee for each course in which they
enroll, but this year, 2,442 course fees
are more than $5, and the highest fee
is $400.
Phil Diebel, vice president for fis-
cal affairs, said each department de-
termines its course fees, but there are
ways in which the university regu-
lates the amounts.
‘There isn’t a set maximum fee,
but course fees must approximate the
cost of materials and services pro-
vided,” he said. “The fees are also
audited on an annual basis to ensure
that the level of the fee is appropri-
ate.”
