KcdW* - Offc 2818 ■ In line behind the shrimp and oyster bill is a proposal to triple col lege tuition this fall. Several conser vative senators balked Thursday at accepting a two-year limit on tuition increases. Sen. Roy Blake, D-Nacogdoches, said limiting the tuition increase to two years would leave students con fused. “We need to let the (entering) stu dents know what the costs are going to be so they can plan,” Blake said. The bill tripling tuition this fall and raising it again for the 1986-87 school year has been tentatively ap proved by the Senate. A bill that would repeal the law prohibiting the sale of 42 items on consecutive weekend days has been approved by a House committee, and is pending in Senate committee. !! ATTENTION!!
