' 2 I 3 if VALUE ' CCDSTS et' Board approves 16 percent increase for next semester l think it is unfair that tuition is going up, while finan- cial aid is going domm. lt is getting to be a luxury to go to school. A lot of students can't afford it, sophomore Kari Carlson said. University fees will be in- creased for the 1986-1987 academic year due to regula- tions set by the Coordinating Board of Higher Education CCBHEJ. The CBHE required all re- gional universities of Missouri to pay 28 percent of education and general costs with money from fees. Failure to do so would result in less monetary support from the state. To meet the standards, the Uni- versity increased tuition by 16.5 percent and housing costs by six percent. Tuition and room and board for in- state undergraduates will be S2,79O, Melinda Wood, sys- tems manager of Financial Aids, said. The undergraduate in-state fee was S870 per year and was raised to 51,020 per year, the MORE, FORMS Melinda Wood of Fi- nancial Aid gives Julie Luse, fr., infonnation on how to prepare finan- cial aid fonns.

Likewise the graduate in-state fee was S900 and raised to 51,060 per year, the graduate out-of-state S1700 to S2,010. UA 16 percent increase may seem like a lot, but it averaged out to only 75 cents a day, Dean of Students Terry Smith said. According to the Oct. 5, 1985 issue of the lndex, Uni- versity President Charles McClain said that room and board fees are being increased to cover the costs of inflation, utilities, food and services, insurance, wages and labor which rise every year. Double occupancy rooms were S855 per semester and were raised to S885 per semes- ter: multiple occupancy rooms, S795 to S845 per se- mester: compact triples, S755 to S785 per semester. I think it's a bum deal that we're paying more. Because of the increase, I realize that I vid Gray said. HYou can't get away from this fthe increasel by going to Maryville or Springfield. We're all state schools and under the same mandate fto pay 28 percent of costs with feesl, budget director John Jepson said. Due to the increase in fees, students may receive more financial aid, but it's all rela- tive to federal cuts, level of need and amount of aid avail- able, Wood said. l think we're going to see a continual increase of fees be- cause the state requires us to do so. We will try to find local ways, such as on campus jobs, to help keep costs domm, Smith said. When comparing schools, students have to look at the whole picture and ask them- selves, UAm I getting my mon- ey's worth?
