As chairman of the Parking Committee, Professor Tregarthen discussed how the Committee, in Springs of 1974, had developed the recommendation that $80,000 be raised (through bonds) for improvements to the parking-lots, with $6 Grad School and $8 fees to be charged. This recommendation was sent to the regents in Boulder. Over the period of time that the recommendation was in Boulder Tregartben and the committee "assumed somebody was making Tests Change minor modifications to our plan." Instead, an "immediate" decision was necessitated after the Regents in Boulder decided that UCCS needed to buil.d new lots and improve the old lots at a 300% funding increase. "All PRINCETON, N.J.

How Much Will You Bear / The title of this article is what comes to my mind when I think about tuition figures every year. Every' year when I go up to the state legislature to lobby against higher tuition I wonder just when the students (and perhaps even the legislators themselves) will say NO I MORE. , ,/ There is a growing body of opinion (witness the Joint Budget " ! 1;;> . Ill' , Committee Hearings for UCCS) that the only beneficiaries of higher /~/,..: . education are its graduates. And that theory goes on that in the case of VI. tf ·' , ./1,;' .. :' / tax-supported public institutions where the graduate has not paid, in V1/ 11' I " tuition, most of the identifiable cost of his education, he is the 'I il!. I beneficiary of an undeserved subsidy, on top of everything else! The \ " proponents are concerned about continued fmancing problems and \ suggest that in order to narrow the gap in tuition between public and private institutions that tuitions rise at public institutions. II They concede that this would be a hardship on the poorest /I lit 1/ // students-but they propose an increase in public subsidy. However, we as students know that financial aid programs have never kept pace with cost increases-right now the.full funding of the BEOG program is even being debated in Congress! But when they turn to the impact upon the middle-class student ($10-20,OOO/yr) they deny that the result of two or three-fold increase in tuition would be any real hardship. So the low-income family is already out of its depth in trying to pay educational costs. The upper-income family can and will pay more. So virtually the entite load in increased tuition would be on the shoulders of the middle-class family. But the key argument against raising tuitions in the public sector of post-secondary education is neither the fact of it's inequity to the middle class, nor the fact that doing so would reduce access for the low-income student. The best argument for a nationwide system of low tuition or even no-tuition public institutions remains that such a system benefits the society more than it costs the society. I have no answers for the funding crisis in Colorado. In October the Colorado Student Coalition presented testimony to the state legislature's Joint Education Committee. In the report several LOOK!
