This will apply only to full time students. A large portion of the increase in tuition will be applied to raising faculty salaries in order to maintain highest teaching standards, according to Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, UM President. "One of the chief problems facing American institutions of higher learning since the war," Dr. Pearson said, "has been that of paying adequate faculty salaries during a period when the purchasing power of the dollar has been cut in half. "Our tuition never has been adequate to cover the cost of educating our young people. The difference has been made up by public-spirited citizens, alumni and corporations, but of course, there is a limit to what they can do. The University of Miami is non-tax supported and derives its income solely from tuition and gifts." A letter sent by Dr. Pearson to each parent of a University student points out the lag between University tuition raises and those already made in other institutions. In comparison with next year's $650, annual tuition for UM full time day students, Brown University has presently effect­ ive a tuition of $950, Cornell, $1,000, and Dartmouth, $980. The University's tuition rate next year, the letter stated. will remain "among the lowest in the country." All full time students in the undergraduate schools and the college of arts and sciences now paying $275 a semester, Photo by Boll (Continued on Page 4) BALLOONING SPIRIT WEEK off to a flying start canes' flrst touchdown, the balloons will be released, are, left to right, Dr. Thurston Adams, director of making the sky in the Orange Bowl a floating orange student activities, Pete Melnick, Pat McBride and mass.
