Basic services include such things as X- rays, lab work and visits with a nurse, Latta said.

"However, it is too pre- mature to talk of how much health fees would cost in that situation. "Prior to 1985, student health services were funded only by student fees. So if we had to become self-sufficient, we would be going back to that same situation, which is still much less expensive than medical service outside of the university?'
