Stung Again

BY GEORGE DALEK NEWS EDITOR

In an expected move, the University’s Board of Trustees last week voted to increase tuition for full-time undergraduate and graduate students by $540 and room and board by $260. The tuition price hike of 13.6 percent brings the tuition total to $4,500 while the 12.1 percent increase in room and board fees upped that charge to $2,410 per year. The increase was imminent, since Henry Heneghan, vice president of business and finance, last month announced that an increase of not less then 8.2 percent should be expected. In announcing the increase, University President Leland Miles said, “This step is necessary to ensure the continued quality of our students’ education. Our chief problem, like eveiyone else’s, is inflation, especially the skyrocketing costs of our oil-based heating and lighting. Despite an imaginative and successful conservation program, our energy costs are projected to increase over 33 percent for the next fiscal year,” he said. Over the past two years, the University’s fuel consumption has decreased an estimated 31 percent and electricity by 17 percent. Miles also pointed out that, in contrast with decisions announced by other instituions, the rise here is substantially less than the present rate of inflation which is now hovering around the 19 per­ cent mark. "We will seek to make up the difference through effecting ad­ ministrative overhead reductions and other economies,” said Miles. On the question of specific reductions, Miles was unavailable for comment Monday. University President Leland Miles, last week announced an $800 increase in charges, An increase of $20 in the Recreation Center fee was also an­ (File Photo) nounced as was a decrease in fees from $75 to $70. The decrease in fees is due to an absence next year of an energy charge. The University’s increases in tuition compare favorably with those of other regional institutions Miles said providing a list of other in­ stitutional increases. “Nonetheless we deplore the increasing * \ SOME REGIONAL TUITION INCREASES FOR 1980-81 burden placed on parents of private college students,” he stated. (Full-Time Undergraduates) “In addition,” continued Miles, “our continuing concern over the seemingly endless tuition increases at U.S. private universities has School Amount Increase Percentage Increase prompted UB to develop and to push aggressively a partnership Wesleyan $71& 13.8% concept for private and public institutions in Connecticut.

The achievements of these students and leadership groups are much too long to list completely. As a brief example, through the cooperative efforts of the Schine Hall government, residents have benefited from Isaac’s Place, a refurnished recreation room, a weight room, a study lounge, monthly social events, a successful volunteer security program, a number of painting projects, and more. Each dorm can be sighted 1m cribe for varied and unique contributions to the student experience at U.B.

Jimmy Hodges and Buddy Bray both walked loading the bases for designated hitter Tom Closter. Closter's ground ball to the third basemen gave the Braves a chance for a force play at the plate, but the throw went by the catcher enabling Stanisci and Hodges to cross the plate with the winning runs. Freshman Jim Bittle’s single brought home Bray for the final score of the day giving the Knights the victory. Junior Pitcher Charley Brower pitched the final inning, closing out Quinnipiac batters 1-2-3 and giving him the win. “It’s a great victory for us,” said Coach Fran Bacon.
