Although long lines in the Financial Services Building are still a common sight, fee bill settlement this semester is actually moving at a faster pace than it did last year, according to the latest statistics.
The mostjecent.report, which contains information through Sept. 16, indicates 608 more students have settled their fee bills this year compared with the same period last year, said Jimi Bingham, director of student financial operations.
There were a total of 25,722 fee bills issued for the fall semester. Of these, 18,805, or 73 percent, have been settled, he added.
The deadline for settling fee bills was Sept. 10 and late fees are imposed on those students who go beyond the deadline. The fee increases by $25 a week until it reaches a peak of $150.
Bingham attributes the increased number of settlements to two factors.
First, the recent policy requiring students to settle both tuition and housing fees at the same time has helped to expe-diate financial settlements.
“Settling housing and tuition
fees at the same time has posed no problem to students that we can see," Bingham said. "From an administrative standpoint, it is more work, but it allows students to settle their financial situation much quicker."
The second factor which led to the settling of more fee bills is the restructuring of the financial aid office.
"Every indication is that the financial aid office is far ahead of last year, " Bingham said, adding that statistics show the financial aid office to be approximately 2,000 students ahead of last year in processing aid packages.
"I attribute this to the hiring of Fred Hessinger, director of financial aid, and to his implementation of new programs," Bingham said. "There has also been a change in the attitude of the financial aid staff toward working with students."
There are currently 5,003 students receiving a university scholarship and 1,294 students who have been granted a deferr-ment because of financial aid.
"If a student needs a deferr-ment, he must come in and demonstrate to us that he is eligible for deferrment, based pri-(Continued on page 9)

A former university student, characterized by his one-time fraternity brothers as "intelligent and ambitious," was arrested early Monday morning for the bludgeoning murders of his parents Friday in their elegant northern California home.
Russell Marc Glasgal, who was enrolled at the university for at least a year-and-a-half as a senior in public affairs, is being held at San Mateo County jail after police found him at about 3 a.m. in South Lake Tahoe after he checked into a motel called the Fantasy Inn with a female companion.
The bodies of Glasgal's parents were found Friday afternoon by his 16-year- old brother, Steven, said Jim Steinrok, an information officer at the San Mateo Police Department.
Glasgal, who had been living with his parents during the summer, became the focus of the investigation of the slayings when his prolonged absence became apparent.
Glasgal, 22, did not resist arrest once officials spotted the family’s 1977 Buick Regal in the stateline motel parking lot. No
charges were brought against his companion, 21-year old Lisa Wolfin, who police believe may be his girlfriend.
Autopsy reports revealed that Dr. Robert A. Glasgal, 55, a prominent orthodontist, and his wife Sondra E. Glasgal, 45, died from head wounds caused by a large, blunt instrument, possibly a baseball bat, police officials said. No murder weapon has been found as of yet.
Glasgal's younger brother made the grim discovery upon returning home Friday at 3 p.m. The orthodontist, clad in a bathrobe, was found sitting upright in a living room chair in a pool of blood. His head had been battered, officials said. Mrs. Glasgal, whose skull had been crushed, was discovered in a sitting position on the bathroom floor.
Steinrok said there was no apparent signs of struggle from Glasgal's parents. He declined to say whether there was any physical evidence linking the suspect to the deaths or whether there had been known prior problems between Glasgal and his family.
Glasgal was a member of the university's Lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity but went inactive two years ago, house officials said.
Former fraternity brothers who knew him said he was ambitious and always involved with some kind of business enterprise.
"He always had business ventures going—T-shirts, buttons," said Lambda Chi member Bob Doty, a senior in business administration. "He was always selling. Not big stuff, just nickel and dime (items).
"He was a very inactive member — he never kept up with his dues," Doty added.
Apparently, Glasgal left the university to attend UCLA, but this could not be confirmed by the Daily Trojan. However, one member of the UCLA Lambda Chi chapter said he knew Glasgal but refused to comment.
Students here who knew the suspect said he was an amateur film maker as well as businessman. Glasgal was part owner of a film production company. Former fraternity brothers of Glasgal said he at one time made an independent pornographic film that was shown at the fraternity house, said several of the fraternity members.
According to university officials, more fee bills have been paid in less time this year than previous years, but the lines remain.

Few people realize it, but hundreds of university students benefit daily from a service provided by UCLA.
By UCLA? Well, not exactly. However, the Bruin influence on Educational Enrichment Enterprises' lecture note service is undeniable.
Janice Galletly and Kim Siehl were freshmen at UCLA when they noticed their friends at this university did not have a lecture note service similar to the one offered by the Associated Students of UCLA (ASUCLA).
The two economics majors decided to supply what they anticipated would be a large demand for professionally taken lecture notes. In the fall of 1978, after gaining approval from the administration, they set up shop in Tam's Bookstore and established Educational Enrichment Enterprises.
The response from students was enthusiastic. In the few classes the service was offered in, over half of the students subscribed. The success of the ASUCLA's note service portended their immediate acceptance here, Galletly said.
"At UCLA everyone buys lecture notes," she said. "You buy your books, and you buy lecture notes.
"We knew they didn't have the service here, so we decided that we would start it."
The service offers notes mainly for the large undergraduate lecture classes such as Anthropology 201, Astronomy 100, Biology 102 and others, for about $18 to $24 per semester.
"The classes we are interested in are those with over 100 students," Galletly said. "Only then can we make it profitable for us."
Galletly emphasized that the notes are not meant to be "a substitute for your own notes, or a substitute for going to class."
The notes are useful in the large lectures because many times teachers will use overheads and diagrams which students may have trouble copying, she said.
"They're also really valuable for foreign students who have a difficult time understanding their professors," she added. "They can concentrate on the lecture and have a complement to their own notes that they can refer to."
H.	Kim, a senior majoring in biology, said the notes helped her when she took Economics 250.
"The teacher talked fast, so you didn't have time to draw the diagrams," she said. "(The lecture notes) are good to have, just in case."
