<DIV><SPAN class=332475617-29092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a request
from a student who needs to replace his French Horn after an unfortunate
"dropping the horn" incident. (The horn will cost $4000, but
he currently has $1780 in his COA budget that he can use. He's
requested that I increase his COA budget so that he can take an alternative loan
to cover the cost of the new horn. He claims this is a school related
expense because he uses it for school and plans to go to grad school as a french
horn performance major and his auditions are coming up soon.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=332475617-29092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, is it a stretch
to call this a personal/miscellaneous expense? My first reaction was, "heck no,"
but I want to make sure I'm being fair. He's not a music major here at SGU
or I might be leaning more in his direction.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
