No Fee Increase For Athletics At Kansas State
Kansas State University may not raise its overall student fees to fund athletics. Board of Regents chair Henry Bubb said any extra funds must come from within the existing fee structure. President James McCain proposed a $5 per semester hike, but the board discussed without action. The plan aims to cover an estimated 60,000 needed to keep the football program solvent in 1964. The Kansas State Student Senate is exploring other fund-raising options, including curtailing programs, selling more tickets, and alumni contributions.
