USES OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS FEE

President Darden laid before the Board the following letter and statement from the
Comptroller.

Dear Mr. Darden.

Enclosed is a statement for the Cavalier Daily showing expenditures through May 31. You will
note that revenues exceeded expenditures by more than $5,000.

Should the Board see fit to allocate $1.00 of the $5.00 now being charged each student for
student publications to other student activities, the income of the Daily would be reduced by
approximately $3,600 per year. This would still leave them a small surplus to take care of
possible increases in costs.

In addition, projected enrollment increases over the next few years should substantially
increase their revenues with the fee at $4.00 per year.

Very truly yours,
/s/ Vincent Shea
