Money Plagues Colleges As Education Cosi Climbs
NEW YORK (AP) - The
rising cost of higher educa
tion has led to steep increas
es in college tuition charges
across America, a nationwide
survey shows.
In extreme cases, fees have
more than doubled within five
years. Some state schools have
been driven recently to char
ging tuition for the first time.
In California, a row which
developed when Gov. Ronald
Reagan proposed tuition fees
for resident students resulted
in the outing of Clark Kerr
as president of the University
of California. Kerr had op
posed both tuition and Rea
gan's proposal to cut the uni
versity's budget.
Many educators have expres
sed fear that mounting stu
dent charges will deprive chil
dren of low income families of
a chance to attend college.
Don Stevens, a member of
the Michigan State University
Board of Trustees, said: "Tui
tion is wrong in public educa
tion. It discriminates against
low income families and again
st girls."
"If there were a boy and
a girl in the same family, the
boy gets the nod. The bright
est kids from low-income fa
milies don't go to college," Ste
vens said.
Taking note of mounting edu
cational costs, Gov. Kenneth
M. Curtis of Maine had this
comment in his inaugural ad
dress on Jan. 5.
"Our long-range objective
must be free education be
yond high school for every
Maine boy and girl who has
the desire and talent to use
this education. We will not
achieve this objective during
my administration."
A student point of view was
voiced by Dan Allison, a mem
ber of the University of Ore
gon Student Senate:
"We believe that higher ed
ucation should be available to
all who wish to take advan
tage of it, and raising tuition
does not move in this direc
tion." A pending proposal to raise
tuition fees in 22 state-supported
colleges in Texas by a to
tal of $44 million during the
next two years was denounced
by U. S. Sen. Ralph Yarbor
ough as "a tax on students"
and "an antieducation mea
sure." But almost everywhere, the
fees go up and up.
Tuition at the University of
Minnesota costs resident stu
dents $375 year, compared with
$275.45 five years ago, and
nonresidents $921, compared
with $662.55.
Utah State University char
ges residents $282 against $$80
in 1960, and nonresidents $639
against $285. .
At Indiana's Purdue Univer
sity the tuition for residents
went from $240 to $330 in the
past five years, and for non
residents from $750 to $950.
In 10 years, resident student
tuition at the University of
South Carolina has gone from
$200 to $540, and nonresident
tution from $370 to $990.
In the 1965-66 academic year,
state residents paid $220 at the
University of Wisconsin, non
residents $600. This year the
figures are $325 and $1,050.
The University of New
Hampshire charged residents
$380 five years ago, nonresi
dents $800. Now the charges
are $480 and $1,025, and the
fee for nonresidents goes up
next September to $1,375.
Georgia's state - supported
schools held fees at the 1962
level until this academic year,
when there was an increase
averaging 33 per cent. At
Georgia Tech, resident stud
ents now pay $305 a year,
nonresidents $1,005.
"The increases were made
because it was necessary to
get operating funds," explain
ed Dr. Harry Downs, assist
ant vice chancellor of the Uni
versity System of Georgia.
In Illinois, the proposed bud
get for higher education in
1967-68 is $600 million, up 40
per cent from the preceding bi-
ennium, and some college ad
ministrations regard tuition in
creases as inevitable. The
the purpose of making up a
budget cut must be consider
ed a tax on education. Such a
The questions of higher educa
tion: Should everyone go to college?
How much tuition is fair to the stu
dents? How much control should
state governments have over public
universities?
University of Illinois charges
resident students $270 year,
nonresidents $870, compared
with $238 and $580 in 1961.
California's academic blow
up came when reagan, newly
elected governor, proposed
state educational budget cuts
of about 10 per cent, with an
offsetting tuition charge-first
in hisotry on resident students
He suggested $400 a year at
the University of California's
nine campuses and $200 at the
18-campus California State
colleges.
Nonresident students in Cali
fornia now pay $980 a year
plus a $219 incidentals fee,
compared with $500 and $120
five years ago.
Jesse M. Unruh, Democrat
ic speaker of the State As
sembly, protested:
"Tuition charged solely for
proposal demands the most
through study we can make
before it is enacted."
The California Federation o
Teachers announced plans for
a march on Sacramento, the
capital, by 10,000 educators,
students and parents on Feb.
11 to "resist Gov. Reagan's
attack on public education."
Reagan denounced his cri
tics as "hysterical" and said
they might change their tune
when they get a look at his
forthcoming state budget.
New York, where 24 under
graduate schools had been tui
tion - free to resident students,
adopted a uniform tuition
schedule in 1963 which re
quired payment from almost
all who attend state institu
tions of higher learning.
Resident undergraduates
pay $400, nonresidents $600.
Students at graduate schools,
both resident and nonresident,
pay $600. At medical, den
tal, law and other profession
al schools the charge is $800
for residents, $1,000 for nonre
sidents. However, New York also has
what it calls "scholar incen
tive program," applying only to
resident students, which is
based on family net income.
An undergraduate student
from a family with taxable
income of less than $1,800 pays
nothing. If income is $1,800 to
$7,500 the student pays $200
and the state reimburses the
college for the other $200. If
the income is more than $7,-,
500 the student pays $380 and
the state $100.
Increasing costs have hit
private schools just as hard
as those supported by the stat
es, and tuition charges have
risen accordingly.

in Washington
"I must say that this is one of the
most useful education experiences
I have ever had. It certainly com
pares favorably with the experi
ence I've had at Yale and Har
vard." U. S. Senator Win. Proxmire
"It is my opinion that if these
techniques were instituted in the
public and private schools of our
. country, . it would, be the greatest
single step ' which we could ' take,
in educational progress."
-U. S. Senator Herman TaLmadge
In North Carolina
I now have the ability to read a
great many more books. I can
easily read two average length
books In an evening. I previously
took two conventional reading
courses and made no significant
improvement Based on beginning
and end tests, my rate increased
five fold with improved compre
hension. lit. Col. Louis Brooks,

What She Said:
I can do my homework in half the
time and know it better than I
would have before. Yet, you get
just as much out of the literary
style as you would the old way.
You get more of an overall picture
instead of having the story come
into your mind in bits and pieces.
High School Student
Virginia Marshall Sotton.
What Her Mother Said:
I want to express my thanks for
all you have done for Jinny. Be
fore taking your course, she was
having trouble in her schoolwork,
although she had a high I.Q. and
was very well-read. No one was
able to diagnose her trouble as
slow reading for she loved to read
and had an extensive vocabulary.
Finally, as a last resort, we de
cided to try your reading course,
what a miracle it proved to be!
Her reading rate came up from
250 w.p.m. to 5,281 w.p.m. and she
has been on the Honor Roll at
school ever since. It was a lucky
day indeed when she enrolled In
your course.
Thank you again and now I am
going to try Reading Dynamics
myself and see If I can match
Jinny's fabulous record.
Mrs. Marshall Sutton, Mother
What Her Mother Said Later:
I have not only greatly Increased
my reading speed but my compre
hension as well. I have also learn
ed to study and comprehend tech
nical material at a rate I would
have believed Impossible to
achieve.
Mrs. Marshall Sutton
Conventional rapid reading cours
es aspire to 450-600 words per
minute. Most Reading Dynamics
graduates can read between 1,000
and 3,000 words per minute, and
many go even higher.

where 9 out of every 10 scientists who ever lived, are still alive,
where more scientific progress is made in 1 day than was made in
the whole world in the first 1000 years of the Christian era . . .
where more new technical information has been published in the last
15 years than in the previous 15,000 years .... fast and efficient
reading is necessary to keep mankind alive and free in this most
dangerous of all ages !
Fast and efficient reading is not new. Julius Caesar, Theodore
Roosevelt, John Kennedy, John Stuart Mill and many others read
Jhiswayv . fWhat IS new is Mrs. Wood's iiriique methods-" of
teaching Reading Dynamics skills. Today, thanks to her pioneering
work over many years, not just the fortunate few but nearly every
one can increase his reading efficiency 300, 500, 1000, or even
more. So sure are we of this that we make the following ....
tl$g MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE :
We guarantee to increase the reading efficiency of each student
AT LEAST 3 times with good comprehension. We will refund the
entire tuition to any student who, after completing minimum class
and study requirements does not at least triple his reading efficiency
as measured by our beginning and ending tests.
