By far the greatest portion (over 60% in my supervisor's group) of the charges 
incurred by theory students is the $0.80/hr. set charge instituted last
December for console time on a CSRI sun.  A solution would be to provide theory 
students with access to theory SUNs.  At present, theory students have no 
choice but to work on CSRI SUNs (even if only as terminals attached to neat.ai) 
and pay the heavy cost.

I am given to understand that the AI group has decided to bite the bullet and
accept the higher costs as still cheaper than buying more AI SUNs.  Whatever 
the theory group decides, we should all be aware that legitimate SUN use has 
simply become more expensive than it used to be.
