Dormitory students line up for supper Wednesday evening outside the Central Cafeteria for a end-of-the-year picnic.
The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges approved a CSU request Friday to increase some dormitory and apartment rents and to offer another lower priced meal plan to residents. The approval means students can choose to pay higher rent or pay for the lower priced meal plan with four fewer meals. The increases, to take effect during the 1986-87 school year, will be the second dorm hike in the last two years. Administrators say the increases are necessary to offset a rising cost of utilities and maintenance repair bills. The increases range from a 1.9 percent increase, $1,635 to $1,666, for a double occupancy room on the 14 meal plan to a 5 percent increase, $1,994 to $2,094, for a private room in the dormitories. Two bedroom apartment rates will increase 2.1 to 2.4 percent also, depending on whether the apartment is furnished or not. The number of meals a student can choose to pay for has been changed. Dormitory students can choose from a 20, 14 or 10 meal plan a week. Previously, students had two choices — 20 or 15 meals a week. The 15 meal plan has been reduced to 14 meals. The student may eat any two of the three meals offered during the seven day week. The new 10 meal plan, targeted for the student who goes home on the weekend, allows the student to choose any two of the three meals

served from Monday through Friday. Robert Fields, director of housing, said the 10 meal plan was started to give students more flexibility. "One of the things I keep hearing is 'I don't eat breakfast,"' Fields said, concerning the students.
Fields said about 40 percent of the dormitory students didn't eat all their meals they paid for in the past. Under the 10 meal plan, Fields said he expects the participation rate for the meals to increase to 90 or 95 percent. Administrators said they offered the new plan because students complained were paying for meals they didn't eat.
Many problems develop with typists, clients By Susan Garrett Procrastination is a term all students are familiar with as the semester winds down. Resumes, book reports and term papers all seem to pile up at one time. Many students turn to a typist at this time of year for help. But, being late this time can be dangerous, because typists are finding themselves turning away business. "It is a nightmare," said Carlo Engel, operator of the Copy Center in the University Center, "I was booked for a month in advance."
"First come is first served," she said. "This is a one person operation. I will not give someone precedence over another." Engel said one student even tried bribery, but it didn't work. Engel said she edits the material as she types it, but will "not change any of the actual text." Her editing includes spelling and punctuation. Engel said some of the faculty do not appreciate her making some student material look better than the student really is. She said one instructor told her she would not send her students to the Copy
Center for that reason. One problem Engel encounters is students and faculty who want her to type directly out of a book. Students bring books they want material typed from, but she refuses to do it. "I've made people angry with me," Engel said. "But I just can't do it. It's against the law. Sometimes students will bring in typed copy material, and want me to type portions of the material. "It reads like it came straight out of a book. I'm curious do the professors except this?" But, Engel said all of the work
she does isn't plagiarized. "I have also done projects in here that are really excellent," Engel said. "Some projects come in hand written and you can tell the student has done the work." Engel said she has learned a lot from operating the Copy Center. She has had to type everything from football material to children programs on little fish. "I think I need to be given a honorary degree in everything on campus," Engel said. The Copy Center is not the only busy place in town this time of year. Kim Przybyl has spent today
typing seven term papers. She runs a typing service out of her home and says she is swamped. The end of semester rush has created several problems for Przybyl. Przybyl says she received a phone call at midnight from a student wanting to know when she could type his assignment. "They get impatient," she said. "I have had several calls late at night." Przybyl said she does not change the context of the material she receives, but does correct spelling. A big problem is reading students handwriting, she said.
