Board Passes Tuition Increases
For Law, Medicine, Business

By LIBBY WITHERS

Tuition increases for law,
medicine and graduate business
students were approved by the
University Board of Visitors
Friday.

The Board approved an
in-state tuition increase for the
Medical School from the
current $800 to $900 for the
1973-74 session.

Out-of-state tuition for the
Medical School will increase
from the present $1,850 to
$2,100 for the coming session.

In-state law students'
tuition will be $600, an
increase over the $520 charged
last fall. Law school tuition for
out-of-state students will be
$1,725, an increase from the
current year's $1,445. Tuition
will increase to $2,000 for
out-of-state students in the
1974-75 session.

Graduate School of
Business Administration
tuition for in-state students
was set at $800, and for
out-of-state students at $1,725
for the 1973-74 session.
Out-of-state tuition will rise to
$2,000 the following fall.

Total charges for tuition
and fees in the other University
schools will remain the same
but allocation of the totals has
been changed by increasing the
student comprehensive fee by
$25, to a total $195.

Of the increase, five dollars
will go for student health costs,
five dollars for recreation and
women's athletics, and $15 for
faculty fringe benefits.

The board also approved
the establishment of a' special
five dollar fee for law students
for the publication and
distribution of the school's
yearbook, The Barrister.

In other business the board
named the 500-seat McLeod
Hall auditorium, the new
nursing education building, in
honor of former University
Rector Charles Rogers
Fenwick.

Mr. Fenwick, a member of
the Board of Visitors from
1958 to 1966 and Rector from
1964 to 1966, represented
northern Virginia in the
General Assembly from 1940
until his death in 1969.

The board also voted
Friday to change the name of
the former Red Cross Training
Center on Midmont Lane to
George Baskerville Zehmer
Hall. The building has been
used since September for the
Continuing Education School
offices.

Mr. Zehmer headed the
Continuing Education School,
formerly the Extension and
General Studies Division, from
1925 to 1958. A pioneer in
adult education, he brought
the extension services to a
broad University division with
seven regional centers.

The Board also elected
thirty-five new faculty
members for the 1973-74
session and approved
re-elections, promotions, leaves
of absence, title changes,
resignations and appointments.
