The value of the contracts is the highest awarded by the Division of Highways on a single day in the history of road building in Illinois. SHOP IN MCHENRY that involves evaluation committees to decide what each course studied is worth for college entrants and guidance of employers and parents. But they are taking their time about recommending changes -- at least five years -- until a'new plan can be perfected. Meanwhile, a simple "passfail" system of reporting student performance ha&~, been put into effect by some-schools, even by some colleges. Parents, however, are very much concerned over tinkering with the traditional method of reporting on how their children are getting on in school. They are 83 percent opposed to the drastic "pass-fail" report -system, according to the Institute for Development of Educational Activities Innovations Survey. LOW PRESSURE The lowest air pressure at sea level ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere was observed during a hurricane in Florida in 1935. The pressure dropped to 26.35 inches of mercury, only about nine-tenths of the normal^ air pressure at sea level. A group of Spanish explorers visited the Grand Canyon, 3 generations before the Pilgrims" landed atPlymouth Rock (1540, and 1619.) Drastic examples at increased costs were fdund by the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges during a survey of member institutions. All but 19 of the 97 surveyed raised tuition, fees, room or board charged students, last year. Sharpest Increases The sharp increases in outof- state tuition generally reflect moves to make out-ofstate students pay a larger share of their costs, while state tax funds are devoted to underwriting costs of instruction for in-state students, who are charged lower tuition. Many increases in tuition -- for both in-state and out-ofstate students--also are justified by a desire to keep charges in line with those in neighboring states. The need to compete with other institutions for scarce faculty talent is another pressure. In sharp relief against the general picture of rising charges have been a few examples of reduced charges. Pennsylvania State University has made the most dramatic reduction, lowering instate tuition and fees from $525 to $450. A few governors have also called for free tuition policies in their states. Despite these straws in the wind, "a widespread leveling off of tuition, room, and board rates doesn't appear likely, certainly not in the next few years," noted a recent article b£ Winfred L. Godwin, director of the Southern Regional Education Board. "Although state support is increasing, legislative appropriations are just not keeping up with higher costs," Godwin observed. "Someone must make up the difference if colleges and universities are to con- AUGUST 16, 1967 - PLA1NDEALER - SEC. tinue providing quality education. And the burden is falling in ever greater measure to the student. Student Share Mounts "In the ten years between 1953-54 and 1963-64, only student fees were increased as a share of instructional costs," Godwin continued. "Income from the federal government, from state and local governments, and from private gifts and endowment earnings all declined on a percentage basis." Other SREB figures indicate that student charges have risen 80 percent in this ten year period, although the cost of living has increased only 17 percent. In addition, in both public and private institutions, students pay a larger share of their education costs today. In the public sector, they are paying 16.4 percent of student education costs today, compared with 11.9 percent ten years ago. Faith Church Host To Vacation Bible School Aug. 14-25 Vacation Bible school is being held at Faith Presbyterian church from Aug. 14 through 25, 9 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.
