Mr. Martin Announces Raise in Tuition Zeno Martin, Business Manager, has announced an increase in tuition for the coming school year. The total expenses for ’52-’53 was seven hundred dollars. Total expenditures for next year will be seven hundred and fifty dollars. This sum is di vided into three hundred and twenty dollars tuition and four hundred and thirty residence fee. Mr. Martin estimates that there will be no actual increase in the amount of money paid- by the stu dent, since the purpose of the in crease is to estimate all hidden fees which often confuse students and parents as to how much one year will cost.
