Students are asking themselves, not only how they'll come up with all that money, but whether or not they should have to come up with it all. Last year students voted to asses them elves $12 a quarter to pay for the Recreational Center currently under construction north of the Warren Apartments. According to Bert Kobyashi of the Recreation Department, under the terms of the agreement drawn up between the Associated Students and the University, students weren't to be asses ed until after completion of the Center. Approval for this quarter's premature asses ment came from the Vice Chancellor's office, according to Kobyashi . joe Watson, Vice Chancellor of Undergraduate Affair, was unavailable for comment. Kobyashi himself is in favor of thIs quarter's $12 increase, believing it to be the mo t economical way of assessing st udents for the center.
