This week’s column is about
money. You know what that is, you
never have enough of it but now
there’s even more of which you
don’t have enough.
Perhaps striking most closely to
home is the rising cost of education.
It’s the same education you would
have gotten last semester, just more
costly now.
At NORTHEASTERN UNI
VERSITY in Boston, Mass., it ap
pears almost inevitable that tuition
will rise ffor the fourth time in three
years. However, Daniel J. Roberts,
their vice president of business and
finance, said that a definite deter
mination to raise tuition has not yet
been made. He assured students
that the probable tuition increase
would be announced as quickly as
possible. Roberts Said, “There will
be no holding back of the informa
tion. Our big objective will be to
hold it down as low as possible.” At
least eastern seaboard universities
give their students some advance
notice of increases . . . accom
panied by explanation.
Closer to home, the UNI
VERSITY OF OKLAHOMA
newspaper reported that a State
House (Okla.) committee has begun
consideration of a bill that would
allow college aud university stu
dents or their parents to deduct tui
tion from their state income tax.
The representative who authored
the bill said the bill would aid those
parents who can only afford to send
their children to college by saving
every possible cent. He added that
Oklahoma students pay about $50
million in fees and tuition annually
to both in-state and out-of-state
schools.
Not everywhere is education on
the increase, however. TEXAS
CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY has
lowered the tuition rates for the
Master of Liberal Arts (M LA) by $35
per three hour course. The decrease
in tuition is from the normal $210 to
$175 for the same three-semester-
hour course.
The decrease was for the MLA
program only and will in no way
affect rates of other graduate prog
rams. The MLA program does not
give a professional or specialized
degree, but is designed for the col
lege graduate who wishes to enrich
his knowledge. Dr. Frank Reuter,
dean of the Graduate School atTCU
said, “The MLA is designed as a
community service to offer new in
tellectual challenges and we felt the
costs defeated the purpose of the
program. Ah yes, well.
SOUTHERN METHODIST
UNIVERSITY will not raise tuition
next year, although it does expect a
$25 increase in board. Dr. William
B. Heroy, Jr., vice-president and
treasurer for SMU, said the decision
against raising tuition was made to
keep SMU in the market for stu
dents. SMU trimmed (yes,
trimmed) approximately $800,000
from this year’s budget in
November to keep it balanced.

Dorm room and board rates are
expected to increase at TEXAS
TECH next year. Although no deci
sions have been made, reports the
campus newspaper, the speculation
is that the dorms face another in
crease in room and board to com
pensate for price raises in food and
utilities. Clifford Yoder, assistant
vice president of auxiliary services
for Texas Tech, said the University
will be sending out questionnaires
to the dorm residents asking what
additional sevices the students
would like and which ones they
think could be discontinued. Those
answers will be taken into account.
Many students are eligible for
FOOD STAMPS and don’t realize
it. The ground rules are simple.
Basically, eligibility to receive
the stamps is determined by the
amount of income available to the
particular household, minus certain
deductions. These deductions, said
the TEXAS TECH newspaper, can
include tuition, medical expenses,
child care expenses and infrequent
expenses such as funerals.
A person who uses food stamps
must be living in an economic unit
with a kitchen or in a situation
where that person must do the cook
ing. If the student is sharing an
apartment with other people and
decides to apply for food stamps, he
must indicate that he is going to
maintain a separate household from
the rest; he can still live in the
apartment, but he must pay for all
his own things.
The stamps are not free unless the
recipient has no income. The allot
ment of stamps always remains the
same, only the price varies. Net in
come of the individual, after deduc
tions, determines the price for the
stamps. As income goes down,
prices go down.
As you may already know, the
only stipulation attached to using
food stamps is that they must be
used to purchase edible foods, fit for
human consumption. Alcoholic be
verages, tobacco products, soap ar
ticles, or pet food cannot be purch
ased with food stamps.
Don’t get too excited, the
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AR
LINGTON pointed out that if you
receive at least half of your support
from your parents, and if they are
ineligible for food stamps and claim
you as a dependent, then you are
ineligible for food stamps too.
This rule is intended to prevent
students from receiving food stamps
when their parents sufficiently sup
port them.
This column appears weekly with
a summary of news received from
newspapers we exchange with other
universities.
