Board Of Visitors Raises Rents
In Dorms, Married Housing

stated the reasons which make the
raising the school's tuition
necessary. He said, "My primary
reasons for recommending an
increase are to offset operating cost
rises which range from five to seven
per cent annually, to help cover
faculty salary adjustments next
year, and to augment income to
offset progressive additions to
faculty, staff and supporting
equipment.

"The latter are needed to
prepare for expanding enrollment
from 200 to 500 students
commencing in 1972 when the new
building will be ready for
occupancy.

"A secondary reason for this
increase is to coincide with similar
actions at other graduate schools of
business."

Selective School

"What we are trying to do is
build a very selective and quality
school with a low tuition that can
compete with such schools as
Harvard, Dartmouth, and
Columbia," said Glen L. Dunlap,
Assistant Dean of the Graduate
School of Business Administration.

A tuition and fee increase will
also be instituted at Clinch Valley
College, an extension of the
University similar to George Mason
College.

Langbourn M. Williams, effective
October 7, 1968, was also
