Rising Tuition Spurs Tax-Credit Program WASHINGTON (CPS) Tuition increase* are at the heart of the proposals for a tax-credit for college tuitions, for it is the rising cost of going to college that Sen Abraham Kibicoff, the spon sor of the tax credit programs, says is making it difficult for middle income families. Higher tuitions are being considered by the Ivy League and at many private schools, Colum bia, for example, raised tuition $200 this year to a total of $1,000. It was the fourth increase at Columbia hi six years George Washington Uni versity raised tuition from $1,250 to $1,400 for the ninth increase in eleven years. Syracuse raised tuition from $1,500 to $1,620 for undergraduates; Stanford, from $ 1.400 to $1,505; and Catholic University from $1,200 to $1,300. A few private schools, such as Finch and Sarah Lawrence College, already charge more than $2,<M)G in tuition alone. The National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges reported that this year the median instate tuition at its 07 members schools was up 5 4 per cent over last year Out-of-state tuition, the report said, is up 10 0 per cent from a median Figure of $612 last year to the present median of $734 Median room costs were up 5 1 per cent for men and 4 per cent for women and board costs rose 2.3 per cent for men and 3 per cent for women Only 25 colleges in the association managed to hold the line against increa ed student charges this year, the report said, and a very few insti tutions were able to lower some fees Last year only 14 institutions had failed to show an in crease in fees. Pennsylvania State University was one of those able to lower fees, and the school put a lower in state tuition into effect Jan 10. A three term year at the University Park campus now costs a Pennsylvania resident $450 in tuition fees. The previous cost was $525. Temple University in Philadelphia also reduced tuition for the year to $450 Tuition had been $920 Both cuts were made possible by increased help from the states lemple was officially declared a "state instru- i mentality" last fall and thereby came in for in creased state aid. Decreased fees were also found at the Uni versity of Hawaii where $14 was cut, the Univer \ sity of Rhode Island where hoard rates dropped | $-rX), and the University of Wisconsin where tui tion for the branch centers was cut. Wisconsin, however, saw increased fees go into effect on its Madison and Milwaukee campuses. The report also showed that out of state stu dent fees are rising more quickly than in state fees. Last year, NASULGC reported that only j nine schools charged non-residents $900 or more and that only four of these charged more than $1,000. This year there are 20 schools that charge more than $900 and seven have gone over the $1,000 mark. Out of state tuition was raised this year at 59 schools, the report said, and in-state tuition went up at 52. On the whole, out-of-state increase were larger than those for in-state students with 26 institutions jumping out of state fees $100 or more. In state fees went up SI00 in only one school, the University of New Hampshire. The report also indicated that the cost of going i to college is higher in the East and least expen sive in the South and West. The NASULGC mem bers with the highest in state tuitions are almost all in the East, the report said. Of the 15, only the University of .South Carolina is south of Virginia. Three state schools in Virginia are among the 15. Fourteen of the members of the association charge state residents $22 or less. All but the ‘ University of Connecticut are in the South or Southwest. Sixteen of the members charge out- 1 of state residents $500 or less in tuition and re quired fees for a year. Almost all of these arc in the South or the West. Most schools explain the fee increases as a re suit of inadequate appropriations from the state legislature and rising costs. The need for addi tional revenue to finance expansion and construc tion is often cited as a factor in increasing fees. Greek Probe Continues At Eastern Washington CHENEY.

Eastern has three fraternities and two sororities. One of the fraternities has national affilia tions. The others reportedly are seeking such affiliation. All five organizations received Board of Trustees approval to seek national affiliation in 1964. The board’s approval was condi tional, stipulating that the organi zations must certify that they have not joined a national so ciety with restrictive membership clauses in its constitution or by laws. The trustees also ordered the school’s Greek chapters to re main the sole agencies in deter mining membership and initiation eligibility. 1st Assembly of God 1330 Madison M. W.
