Increases exceed inflation rate

Truth on both sides of college tuition debate

By LEE MITGANG AP Education Writer For the sixth straight year, tuitions at many colleges will increase faster than the nation’s inflation rate. The reasons schools offer for the rising costs have grown so familiar you can almost hum along. Professors’ salaries haven’t made up ground lost in the inflationary 19705. Classroom buildings and dorms are crumbling. Books and lab supplies cost a bundle. Federal student aid is shrinking. Next fall’s tuition increases won’t be as steep as four or five years ago when inflation was just beginning to cool and colleges were announcing stunning increases of 15 percent or more. But they are hefty: At Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, tuition, fees, room and board will rise 11 percent, to $15,650. Harvard’s will cost $16,145, up 6.9 percent, Yale will go up 6.8 percent to $16,040. Syracuse University will go up 7.5 percent; St. Lawrence University in New York state 9.4 percent; Vanderbilt University 9.4 percent; Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla.,- 9.1 percent; Massachusetts Institute of Technology 6 percent; University of Miami 8.7 percent, Grinnell College in lowa 8.6 percent. Many colleges are still deciding next fall’s rates. But it appears average increases may come close to last year’s 7 percent, about 3 percent above the national inflation rate in 1985. That follows increases averaging 7 percent in 1984-85, 11 percent in both 1983-84 and

1982-83, and 13 percent in 1981-82, increases that exceeded the nation’s inflation rate. Is this justified, as higher education officials insist? Or was U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education 'Chester E. Finn Jr. right when he recently criticized higher education’s “tweedy inefficiencies” like faculty tenure that keep costs perennially high? There’s truth on both sides. A recent analysis by the American Association of University Professors found that average

Dear Abby

A remark adoptive parents don't want to hear

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are about to adopt a baby in the near future. When we tell friends and family this, the response is invari ably the same: “Oh, that is wonderful! But 1 am sure you will have your own baby right after you receive the adopted one.” This comment is absolutely devastating to prospective adoptive parents. We understand that people mean well and are trying to say something supportive, hut there are two reasons why this particular statement should never be made: 1. The subtle implication is that adopted babies are not as good as “your own,” meaning one.you bore yourself. My wife and I have many fears and apprehensions about adoption, the raising of an adopted child, and how that child will he viewed hy others. This insensitive comment brings all of our fears to the surface. 2. Second, and even more im portant, friends and family often do

professors’ salaries have begun to rebound. Full professors now are paid an average $42,500. But their salaries still buy less than they did in the late 1960 s and early 19705. . Many colleges postponed building maintenance in the 19705, and now students have to pay the bill. Campus energy costs are dropping, but the savings have been offset by rising insurance rates at some schools, like Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Spokeswoman Susan Shea said the school was about to

not consider that the mother in question may not ever be able to hear a child of her own. My wife has been through many miscarriages, a tubal pregnancy, multiple surgeries, and she may never be able to bear our own child. We have many friends with similar tragic infertility problems and where the woman has no tubes, ovaries or uterus. Imagine the

increase its tuition by about 9 percent, but a sudden big jump in insurance costs has forced the school to recalculate. Others point out that tuition typically covers only a fraction of the cost of college. Federal student aid in fiscal 1986 was about $4.8 billion, roughly the same as the previous year, but was worth less due to inflation. The Gramm-Rudman budget balancing law may require deeper cuts, and schools are having to devote more of their resources to provide grants and loans. Yale spokesman Walter Littell said tuition covered only about half the cost of an education at his school. But critics say there are less justifiable reasons for the rise of tuitions. “The trouble is that there are happy customs of the academic profession that get in the way, like being on tenure,” said Harold Howe 11, a Harvard lecturer and former U.S. commissioner of education under President Lyndon Johnson. “In higher education the public is asked to just sit back and take it. I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume, frankly, that every time a college fixes its roof that the federal taxpayers should provide more student aid,” said Finn.

effect of this comment on them! Please tell your readers that adoptive parents need to be reassured that their child is just as valued as the one they had hoped to bear themselves. Also, please avoid thoughtless and insensitive comments about “having your own” or “getting pregnant soon.” They are brutal. I am a surgeon at a prominent medical school, but sign me ... EXPECTANT FATHER * * * DEAR ABBY: I dread going into public places any more because almost everywhere I go, video cameras are trained on me. I walked into a store the other day and was immediately confronted with myself on TV, and a large message that said, "Smile, You're on Video Camera. Shoplifters Will Be Prosecuted With Videotaped Evidence." Abby, I will never set foot in that store again! Am I abnormal for feeling uncomfortable for having every move I make recorded and shown on a TV screen? Do other people feel as 1 do, and what do you think of this idea? MRS. L.M.S., MECHANICSVILLE, MD. DEAR MRS. S.: I think it’s a shame this method of discouraging shoplifting is used, but look at it this way: Although it is an invasion of privacy, stores that use this method are able to offer their merchandise at a lower cost because they will have fewer shoplifters. And shoplifters cost you and me money! * * * DEAR ABBY: I have a small but important problem. Our school’s big dance is coming up. It’s the only dance of the year so it’s-a big deal. I like to carry a purse with me in case I need money to call someone, or if I need to reapply eye makeup. What do I do with my purse when I dance? Give it to my friend? Put it down and risk losing it? Should I shove the stuff in my pocket and forget the purse? Or dance with the purse on my shoulder? R. IN LEVERETT, MASS. DEAR R.: Carry the absolute minimum, and shove it in your pocket. •
