Staff Takes “Trip”
The staff of the COYOTE
requests that students and fac-
ulty participate, if they wish,
in the editorial page. This can
be done through the letters-
to-the-editor column or indi-
vidual editorials.
Please keep in mind that the
COYOTE is to act as a medium
of exchange for differing views
and ideas. In fact, one of the
main purposes of attending col-
lege is to gain exposure to a
variety of new ideas.
The news today is continually
filled with such controversial
subjects as Viet Nam, LSD,
free love, and declining morals.
As an educated person in a
world filled with such things,
it is only natural that you should
have opinions about them.
If you are willing to take the
effort of putting your ideas on
paper for the COYOTE, you will
be helping yourself and your
fellow students.
All letters and editorials
must be in good taste and bear
the name of the writer. The staff
reserves the right to omit, when
necessary, any part of an edi-
torial or letter.

The opening of a new school

Nine very sleepy Coyote
staff members and an even
sleepier advisor, Mrs. Alex-
ander, assembled on the front
steps of McFarlin Auditorium
at Southern Methodist Univer-
sity Friday, October 13. They
were present for the Fif-
teenth Annual Southwest Jour-
nalism Forum. Members who
attended were Ann Wilton,
James Doss, Maurine Christen-
berry, James Hawkins, Ricky
Chesney, Nancy Williams, Judy
McAuley and Dalton Fox.

--Rising costs of food, labor,
operation, and construction.
The report also says tuition
is now nearly three times as
high as it was 20 years ago.
And out-of-state fees are going
up especially fast. Non-resident
students are paying one-third
more than they paid in 1964-
65. In that year only four large
universities charged more than
$1,000 a year; this year there
are 22.
This increase in out-of-state
tuition “generally reflects

will alleviate some crowded
conditions and provide needed
facilities but, unfortunately,
this relief is still a year away.
We are confident that despite
the inconvenience that may be
encountered, the spirit of coop-
eration and helpfulness on the
part of students which has al-
ways existed at Weatherford
College will continue to be
manifested. Every effort is be-
ing made to continue the pro-
gress and development of the
college as rapidly as possible
to meet the demands being
placed upon us. Your ernest
efforts to take full advantage of
every opportunity will as-
sure you of a quality education.
I would again like to stress
to both the faculty and the stu-
dent body, in this our first
official student newspaper of
the year, that I have designated
this as the Year of Dedication.
I truly expect all students, fa-
culty, and staff to dedicate
themselves in making this an-
other outstanding year at Wea-
therford College. This last year
on the old campus should be one
of accomplishment and effective
improvement for all concerned.
It is good to have you here
and we look forward together
to a wonderful year.

WASHINGTON (CPS) — Four
fifths of the nation’s state col-
leges and universities have
raised tuition, fees, and room
and board rates this year.
A report just issued by the
National Association of State
Universities and Land Grant
Colleges (NASULGC) and the
Association of State Colleges
and Universities (ASCU) says
“There is hardly a student in
the country who will pay as
much for his freshman year of
college as he will for his senior
year.
“Tuition, fees, and room and
board charges are rising so fast
and so often that today’s uni-
versity senior is paying about 15
per cent more for his education
this year than he did as a fresh-
man in 1964,” the report adds.
And that’s if you’re an in-state
student. Non-residents are pay-
ing 23 per cent more than they
did as freshmen.
The NASULGC represents
large state universities and the
ASCU represents smaller state
colleges and universities.
The report shows a 6.5 per
cent increase in the in-state tui-
tionand fees at NASULGC in-
stitutions, from a medium of
$330 last year to $351.50 this
year. Our-of-state tuition went
up 8.4 per cent from $784
to $850.
At ASCU institutions, in-state
tuition and fees rose four per
cent, from $250 to $260. Out-
of-state tuition and fees rose
nine per cent from $550.50 to
$600.
Room rates rose sharply at
the big schools, increasing 12
per cent for men and 16.3
per cent for women. Room in-
creases at the smaller colleges
and board increases generally
were all slightly smaller.
The report says there are
two major reasons generally
given by institutions for fee
increases:
--Failure by state govern-
ments to appropriate sufficient
