Bill slips through House fight rooms in Senate
Colleges, universities lining up to oppose tuition hike by Thomas Gregory Lindsay-Schaub News Service Springfield Titanis college and university officials are hurrying to fight a House measure that could raise state tuition by 100 percent by 1971. The Walsh bill would set minimum rates, creating two step increases for 1971 and 1972, with freshmen rates near 499 and graduate fees near 860. Private college leaders back the measure to keep public schools competitive, while critics warn low and middle income families face hardship.
