WITH TIME FOR SHARING ON CAMPUS For father information call the Baptist Student Union — 846-6411 Double Tuition Plan Proposed A recent proposal to more than double undergraduate tuition charges at the nation’s public col leges and universities was de nounced today by Helen D. Wise, president of the 1.4 million-mem ber National Education Associa tion, as “an attempt to roll back the clock in higher education for lower and middle income fami lies.” The plan, recommended by the business-oriented Committee for Economic Development (CED), essentially calls for decreased state and federal subsidies of higher education and is aimed in part at narrowing the tuition gap between private and public col leges. Its net effect would be increased financial pressures on middle income families. “This plan aims a direct blow at the children of working and middle income families by sharp ly limiting their prospects for a four-year college education,” said Dr. Wise. “Its immediate effect,” she pointed out, “will be to force many parents to seek commercial loan money at exorbitant inter est rates. If such money can be found in today’s tight market, many families will be unable to afford the higher cost, and stu dents will be forced to drop out of college. “This, in effect, closes the door BONELESS ENGLISH ROAST...V:! $ 1 EXTRA LEAN GROUND BEEF...!!

Since its founding in 1942, the CED, which has headquarters in Washington, D. C., has been a powerful force in the nation’s economic affairs. Its 200 mem bers are mainly executives of major corporations but include a smattering of educators. While its report does not stress the issue, CED comes down strongly on the side of increased public aid for struggling insti tutions, and decreased federal in stitutional aid to public colleges and universities. The latter position is in line with Nixon Administration poli cy, but is directly antiethical to provisions of the landmark High er Education Amendments of 1972 — federal legislation strongly supported by NEA which has since fallen heir to the Ad ministration’s deceptive funding practices. One effect of the CED plan would be to make private col leges more competitive with pub lic institutions and thus “throttle an already badly squeezed system of state colleges,” according to NEA Higher Education Director Charles Bob Simpson.
