Living costs up
Rising education costs not unusual
By GARY MURRELL
Rising costs of education are not unusual, but in line with the rising cost of living, according to several campus administrators.
Francis Heller, dean of faculties, said. "It is a matter of supply and demand. More people are trying to go to college than 10 years ago.
"THE DEMAND FOR TEACHERS is greater than even five years ago. This places a tremendous strain on universities as well as elementary and secondary schools."
Eight years ago KU students living in dormitories paid $578 a year. Today it costs $725 a year, J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said.
"When we consider all the expenses incurred by dormitory living, it is not hard to see why our rates have increased."
Other Big Eight schools compare favorably with
KU, he said. Costs for the 1965-66 school year were: Colorado, $790; Missouri, $770; Oklahoma, $740; Iowa, $735; Kansas, $725; K-State, $725; Nebraska, $725; Oklahoma State, $640.
"LOOK AT COLORADO," Wilson said. "Last year it cost $790 for one year, and presently it costs $890. We should feel fortunate under the circumstances."
Increases are proposed for both graduate and undergraduate students next year, said Charles Burrows, associate comptroller. The Kansas Board of Regents plans an increase of as much as $50 for both KU and K-State, he said.
This year fees for undergraduates were $146, $7 over $139 last year.
Starting with the 1967-68 term, graduate fees will increase from $146 to $166 a semester. Burrows said.
THE HIGHEST RESIDENT FEES charged at any of the Big Eight schools is Colorado with $186 a semester. Colorado also has the highest non-resident fees of $560 a semester.
Fees at the other Big Eight schools for last year were: Iowa State, $172.50; Nebraska, $167; Missouri, $150; Kansas, $139; K-State, $137; Oklahoma, $105; Oklahoma State, $105.
Fees for non-residents were: Iowa State, $375; Nebraska, $430; Missouri, $337.50; Kansas, $339; K-State, $337; Oklahoma, $270; Oklahoma State, $270.
"Last year Missouri, KU and K-State were the only Big Eight schools to charge undergraduate and graduate students the same fees," Burrows said.

"This is the smoothest I can get my naturally curly hair. Gorgeous, isn't it?"
(This is how Georgeanne Alexander looked before using CURL FREE. And these are her words.) "Girls with straight hair tell me I'm lucky to have natural curl They just don't know! I leave the house with smooth hair...and get back home looking like curlylocks. In the winter it snows and—instant ringlets. And summer humidity makes my hair frizz up and go wild.
"I saw an ad for CURL FREE in a magazine. It said, 'I was a curly-headed baby, but baby look at me now!' The results looked marvelous. I would like to try it."
"Look what Curl Free did! So sleek I can't believe it's me!"
"Oh...it's beautiful! I've always wanted straight hair. Now I've got it. And I did it myself with CURL FREE. Gee I'm just like the ad: 'I was a curly-headed baby, but baby look at me now!" —GEORGEANNE ALEXANDER.
