Mr. John Doherty. Acting President Texas Public Interest Group University Center, Campus Activities University of Houston Dea: Mr. Doherty:

On October 15, 1973 the University of Houston and the Texas Public Interest Group, Inc., entered into a contractual agreement whereby the University would collect an optional student service fee for TEX-PIRG.

Per terms of the contract,Section IV, -

"This agreement shall terminate in the event the total number of students authorizing the collection of the optional student service fee during the Spring and Fall semester of any calendar year after 1974 is less than thirty percent (30%) of the total number of students registered at the University for such Spring and Fall semester . . ."

The number of students authorizing the collection has ranged frcm 5.51: to 12.88%. Attached is a sumary of the TEX-PIRG contributions frcm the Spring semester 1974 through the Spring semester 1979.

It is my understanding the question of terminating the contract arose in the Spring of 1977 and a continuance was granted through Spring 1978. At that time Mr. Clarence Johnson, State Research Director of. TEX-PIRG was to seek a new contract. The University has not received any correspondence regarding a new contract.

Mr. John Doherty June 7, 1979 Page 2 As of this date, the University is terminating its contract with the Texas Public Interest Group, Inc. Thus, beginning with the Fall semester, 1979, the TEX-PIRG fee option will no longer appear on the schedule fee statement.

Should you wish to discuss the above action, please do not hesitate to call me at extension 4939.

Sincerely, Na t.h L Fred L. Drake Vice Chancellor
