Trustees Approve 14.4 Percent Hike For 1981-82 Tuition, Room, Board

The WU Board of Trustees has approved combined basic costs for tuition, room and board of $8,995 for the 1981-82 academic year. This represents a 14.4 percent increase over the previous year's combined basic costs. The increases apply to all undergraduate and graduate stu- dents who are enrolled in the academic areas of arts and sciences, architecture, business and public administration, engineering, and fine arts. Tuition will increase by $900 to $6,250 for 1981-82. Room costs will be up $195 to $1,575 for a double room in the South Forty residence hall area. Board will increase $35 to $1,170 for the year under Meal Plan B. For students who eat a greater amount of food, Meal Plan A will increase $65 to $1,340.

"Berlin," Mackay explained, "is almost a city without history. It is also a city made ugly by the great wall which separates it from East Berlin. This wall is an appalling, violent obstruction which encircles all of West Berlin." The firm of Martorell, Bohigas and Mackay had to come to grips not only with the wall, but with "Checkpoint Charlie," the point of entry between West and East Berlin, which fell within the boundaries of the area they were asked to redesign.
