A study issued by UHS earlier this week disclosed that prices of some prescription drugs are three times higher at Harvard Square pharmacies than at other Cambridge drug stores further from the Square.
They surveyed the prices of 14 drugs commonly prescribed by physicians at UHS including antibiotics, tranquilizers and antihistimines.
Dr. Warren E. Wacker, director of UHS, said yesterday that in submitting this proposal to the Administration, he would also suggest alternate sources of increased revenue. These include increasing the University's contribution to the UHS, and charging a token $1 per visit.
The UHS's fee-increase proposal must next be considered by the office of Hale Champion. Financial vice president. Wacker was confident, however, that the ultimate figure will be approximately $155.
Two recent cost accounting studies by UHS personnel revealed that the cost per student for total UHS services in 1971-72 exceeded the student health fee by $30.
