55th Year, No. 19 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, D.C. Friday, February 28, 1975 Corp. to Pay Rent; Gives Up Autonomy by Jim Colaprico Students of Georgetown, Inc. has agreed to pay rent to the University for the space it uses in Healy Basement and to surrender a certain amount of its authority over the extention of its services in an effort to end the legal controversies regarding its relationship to the university. Besides the payment of rent, an evaluating committee will be set up to determine whether the corp's lease should be renewed each year. Also, any new programs that the corp wishes to institute must first be studied by Off-Campus Affairs Dean William Scheurman. If disagreement develops between Scheurman and the corp, the evaluating team will be the final arbitor. The recommendations are subject to the approval of University President Rev. R. J. Henle, SJ.
