The university debates compulsory budget fees with a $15 voluntary contribution plan and two installments. A Pi Delta Opsilon survey shows over 90 percent support, while Student Government struggles to collect fees. The 1982 centennial issue marks campus struggles, residence pledges, and a new Student Activities Fee of 22 dollars with 16 for athletics and 7 for student activities.
A meeting of the Richmond College Student Government proposed ending publication of The Richmond College Messenger. Weeks later editor B A Morvissette resigned saying there is no place for an intelligent literary magazine on campus. The year saw a frolic titled Just Paney by faculty with proceeds to charity. The Board of Trustees denied making the activities budget fee compulsory next year, sparking student anger. Lack of student support led to discontinuation of the voluntary budget fee and a cease of all student publications.
