Catalog misleads on fee spending by Rita S. Cellucci Assistant News Editor

The college's catalog may mislead students about the use of the $480 general fee for undergraduates, according to John Barclay, chief financial officer. According to the college catalog the general fee is used for registration, activities and services provided to full-time students. Services include the library, counseling center, career center and health services. But according to Barclay, "the

Most colleges and universities build these service costs into their tuitions, taking into consideration that some majors are more expensive than others. Along with this general fee, Cabrini students are also being charged course fees for art, language, science, communication and computer courses. An introductory language course fee is$ IO. The

money goes in the bank." However, this money can go anywhere it is needed, either to those services, bills, or a department's budget. The college course catalog listing of expenses attempts to show "instructional costs," Barclay said. All full-time undergraduates at Cabrini must pay a $480 general fee. The number of full-time students totals 750 and the college receives $360,000 a year in these fees. This is a separate charge from the tuition ancl course fees for language, science and communication classes. "Every college charges a gen-

Security director stepsdown by Melissa Landsmann SemorAss

Dan Neyer, director of security, will resign his position, effective in June. Neyer, who worked as director of security for seven and a half years, will take a job teaching English at a Kansas junior college. Neyeradmits that few changes have occurred in his department during his tenure, citing the fact that security has basically reacted to climate changes in campus security. The major climate change Neyer is referring to is the recent legislation pressuring college security departments to release campus crime statistics. "People want to know more about campus security now more than ever before," Neyer said.

"When I started working here as director of security it was more of an Andy and Mayberry operation. It was more relaxed," Neyer said. "Now, it's an ulcer pressure job. It's a 24 hour-a-day J.ob." Dan Neyer Neyer, who considers his strongest point as director to be dealing with his staff, has recently been encouraged by administration to put more distance between himself and his staff He said that the job desciption has changes to include

If you receive a letter from resident life stating that you violated the alcohol policy of the college what do you do next? What are your options, your rights and what is in your best interest? Believe it or not the answers lie in your student handbook, which may have

been put aside as soon as you received it. The violation occurs first. The student receives the letter that they have violated college policy. According to resident life director, Catherine Caulfield, in general, people are aware of their violations. They must contact resident life or Dr. Marilyn Johnson, conduct hearing adviser, within five days. Caufield said she is flexible

with that time frame. "Last semester, Andy (Mcilroy), Tammy (Causely), Anna (Hazelrigg) and I came up with a set of recommended sanctions," Caufield said. If students are charged with a fine for visitation violations.they have the option to perform community service. In the case of an alcohol violation, Caulfield said the fine could be reduced if a student is willing to

attend a three-hour alcohol education seminar. "That is what we have been operating from so we can try to be consistent," Caulfield said. Johnson, who has been a student adviser for two years, said when a student comes to her they discuss the options: do nothing and accept the sanctions, have an administrative hearing or a conduct review board hearing. An administrative hearing qmsists of the student's

head resident, the director of resident life or the dean of students, and the student. Caufield said that most people go this route, although, by doing so, they waive the right to appeal any sanction. Caulfield said that a student can go to the conduct review board for a sanctioning reason but most often
