Term paper business getting bigger
By ELLEN HORTON
‘‘Some day it will peter out. The
professors will stop assigning term
papers if business gets too good.”
Those were the words of Bart
Bartlowe, operator of Term Paper
Arsenal in Atlanta, just one of the
many stores across this country and
Canada whose business it is to sell
prepared term papers to college
students. And business is getting
good
Since the first ‘‘term paper
factory” began operations in Boston
18 months ago, the business of
merchandising term papers to
students has mushroomed Advertise
ments are running in campus
newspapers nation-wide. "Are you
cramped for time? Let us help you”
reads one ad for firms such as
Educational Research. Inc., Reliable
References, Termpapcr Research
Unlimited, Inc., Creative Consul
tants, and Term Paper Arsenal.
THE FIRST TERM Paper Arsenal
started in Los Angeles fall quarter of
1971. In addition to the Arsenal in
Los Angeles, there is a branch in San
Francisco and in Atlanta. The firm is
also trying to franchise stores
throughout the country.
A release from Educational
Research, Inc., describes the
company as “the largest service of its
kind in the country providing
educational research, plus legal and
political research. In addition, they
have access to a library of many
thousands of papers plus over 2,000
writers with minimum of B.S. and
B.A. degrees who write on virtually
any subject in as many as 67
languages ”
The Arsenal branch in Atlanta
opened in mid-January, and is “doing
better every week,’* according to
Bartlowe. They have papers on 1,200
subjects covering 25 general
categories (at the undergraduate
level). Literature seems to be the
most popular subject, with sociology
and business papera also much in
demand.
THE COST OF A paper varies
with each company, most firms
charging a certain rate per page Rate
is also determined by the subject of
the paper.
For example. Education
Research, Inc., charges $3.85 per
page for mo6t undergraduate papers,
and $4.50 per page for a paper on
the graduate level. The Arsenal in
Atlanta has a basic rate ranging
anywhere from $2.75 to $4 per page,
again depending on the topic.
Most companies have toll-free
numbers, enabling a student to call in
his “order." Delivery is usually
guaranteed within one week after the
company has received payment. But,
according to Bartlowe, most of the
Arsenal’s business comes from
“walk-in” customers A student
simply comes into the store, finds
the paper he needs, pays for it, and
congratulates himself on another
assignment well done
If the company doesn't have a
prepared paper on the particular
subject the topic is assigned to one of
their writers.

Meeting set
on day center
By JIM CORBETT
A meeting to discuss the future of
the University’s day care center is
planned for Thursday, according to
Joe (Bubba) Fowler, SGA president.
Calling the possibility of closing
the center a “misunderstanding of
previous decisions,’’ Fowler said,
“The committee was formed to
study the commitments that were
initially made concerning the day
care center."
The possibility of closing the
center, which opened Feb. I, wu
first indicated in a Mar 29 letter
from Ted Hammock, assistant to the
vice president for instruction, to
Myra Klein, director of the center.
THE LETTER stated that the day
care center could be closed during
construction of the adjacent Ecology
Building if the construction
endangered the children. After
construction is completed the play
area of the center will be turned over
to the ecology department, it said
The eight persons to meet
Thursday arc Fowler; Ms Klein;
Hammock, Steve Patrick, Student
Senate treasurer, Elizabeth Presley, a
student; Dr. A.L. Kleckner, acting
vice president for instruction; C harles
E. Kozoll, associate dean of student
affairs, and David Lundy, of campus
planning.
IT IS THE contention of the
administration that the building
assignment was temporary, but
student leaders contend that it was
understood. when the SGA
appropriated $ 10,000 for renovation
of the day care center building, that
the program would continue for 3 to
5 years.
In a later letter to Ms. Klein,
Hammock emphasized the temporary
nature of the assignment, saying,
“The temporary nature of the
assignment was made clear from
the beginning to representativea of
the Student Government Associa
tion."
Student .ources countered that
there was a verbal agreement that the
center would remain in its present
location "for a reasonable length of
time."
‘THEY WERE looking for a
space that would not be given to
them and then taken away the next
year,” a source stated
Jerry Rogers, acting president of
the Mamed Students Council, said,
"The Mamed Students Council is
shocked by what has transpired so
far ”

Health fee hike
due to patients
The SI 50 per quarter increase in
Health Service fees approved by the
Board of Regents will help defray
additional expenses brought about
by an increase in patient visits, nsing
costs of medicine, salary pay raises,
and increased use of laboratory and
X-Ray facilities. John R Curtis,
director of University Health Services
said yesterday
The additional money received
from the fee hike will also be used to
buy equipment for the new addition
to the Health Services which is now
under construction The money will
also be used for furnishing of the
new building. Curio said.
PATIENT VISITS, one of the
major causes of the increase
according to Curtis, have been on the
increase for several years. They have
nsen from around 45.(X)(J in 1969 to
65,000 in 1971, Curtis said. He
expects the number of patient visits
to reach the 75,000 mark next year
Another cause of the increase was
increased use of lab facilities “Lab
procedure costs have shot up m the
past three years tremendously, so
have X-Rays," Curtis said
The 51 50 increase follows a $ I
increase of last year which raised the
Health Service fee from $14 to $15.
Health Services and the Student
Senate had asked for an increase to
$14 SO, ( urlis sod but the
administration thought the $2 50
hike was excessive lor that year
The recent $1 50 raise brings the
Health Service fee to the $16.50
mark sought last year by Health
Services and the Student Senate.
Curtis said
