THE UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO 0 RECORDAN OFFICIAL PUBLICATION ISSUED BY THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF FACULTIES VOLUME IV, NUMBER 3STUDENT OMBUDSMAN CONTENTS / May 11, 1970QUARTERLY REPORT1 Student Ombudsman Quarterly ReportApril 7, 1970r 4 Income for the Computation CenterWith only a month on the job by the close of FallQuarter, I chose to delay my first report till I hada full quarter's activities on which to report. Thisreport, then, covers about fifteen weeks of Falland Winter Quarters. In this time I have handledabout ninety cases, or an average of about sixcases a week. However, these cases tend to cluster;some weeks very few cases are submitted andmost time is then devoted to ongoing work onolder cases and initiating investigations. Otherweeks numerous new grievances will be presentedso that all work must be devoted to handlingthese. This clustering, however, does not exhibita relation to the time of the quarter; that is,no week is more likely than other weeks to bringgrievances to my attention. Autumn Quarter caseswere highly clustered in the last two weeks of thequarter, but in Winter Quarter these two weekswere the least active. (In Winter Quarter, caseswere heavily concentrated in the second and thirdweeks of the quarter.) Thus, while one couldassert that the strongest correlate of ombudsmanbusiness is weather, one cannot assert that thesegrievances are provoked, or that the response isstimulated, by academic pressure. The clusteringseems to be a product of the coincidence either ofgrievances or of the students' response to them.Before reporting on these new cases, I thinkit is appropriate to report on changes which haveoccurred this year in areas which were dealt withby my predecessor.1. Numerous complaints came to the ombudsman last year about pay scales for student part-time employees of the Division of the BiologicalSciences and The Pritzker School of Medicine. Inthe past these students were paid only on the basisof their year in the College or graduate status. Afterlengthy investigation and discussion, the Divisionand the School have decided to begin paying wageson the basis of skills demanded by the particular jobinvolved. In most cases this will mean a higher wagefor qualified students. This policy will go into effectfor the pay period beginning April 27. 5 A Time of TurbulenceAnnual Report of the Student MentalHealth Clinic 1968-698 Deans' Budget Committee Memorandumsto Faculty and Students of the University9 Addition to Deans List9 Rosenberger Medalist10 Correction10 Additions and Corrections to Departmentand Committee Chairmen List10 Council Statement on FSACCSL10 Citizens Board 1969-7014 Additions and Corrections to New Faculty Appointments List2. Students in the dorms have long complainedabout the early closing time of dormitory switchboards. Beginning early Winter Quarter, aftera certain amount of confusion and some difficultyin the hiring and training of additional personnel,these switchboards began to stay open till midnight. Hopefully, this service will continue.3. For years, non-music majors have complainedabout the lack and poor condition of practicepianos on campus. Space in the basement ofHutchinson Commons has been remodeled andmade available for piano practice rooms for useby all students. The condition of the pianos willobviously continue to depend not only on propermaintenance but on considerate use. (Studentsmay obtain keys for these rooms at the ReynoldsClub Desk.)4. The 1400 East 57th Street apartment building has had a history of security problems. Last1year a full-time security guard was stationed thereat considerable cost. The security guard has become a common feature at most all-female University operated apartments. Since apartmentbuildings with both male and female tenantsusually exhibit less need for this additional service,it seems odd that all University operated apartments are not open to both sexes. While this wouldnot solve security problems it would help at leastto improve the sense of security these residentsfeel. I would hope this change could be made bynext fall.5. As everyone is by now aware, exam schedulesare now available in the Time Schedules — circulated even before the quarter begins. Credit forthis improvement in an area which has long beena source of irritation belongs to the Registrar,Albert Hayes.6. I renewed the attempt to secure coursereading lists for posting in the Reserve BookRoom of the library. I have been assured that thiswill be accomplished in the very near future. Itmay seem a petty convenience, but if handledproperly it can provide additional means for intelligent course selection and even for increasedawareness on the part of faculty of areas ofoverlap and congestion with the courses of theircolleagues. It can only succeed, however, with thecooperation of all College faculty in forwardingtheir reading lists to their College DivisionalMaster as early as possible each academic quarter.Since many courses retain nearly the same readinglists, even this minor chore will be reduced infuture years.• • •The majority of cases initiated since my appointment have been highly particularistic. That is,they involve specific problems in specific situationswhere the difficulties are not caused by inadequateor inappropriate rules, policies, or procedures butare caused by a variety of factors such as misinformation or misunderstanding, lack of knowledgeon the part of the complainant of who is responsible (or culpable, as the case may be), and mostoften of all a sense of futility on the part of thecomplainant at getting himself heard and believed.Action upon these cases is very simple: gather andsubstantiate the facts and bring them to the attention of the appropriate person or persons. (Discovering the identity of that appropriate person orpersons can be a tedious task of trial and error,and it is one that a complainant is likely to find highly exasperating. However, for someone in thisoffice it is not only part of the job, it is a meansto more ease and efficiency in future cases.)Description in detail of any of these caseswould be very unlikely to bring about an improvement in services, because there is in these casesno pattern of aggravation to be exposed. Andto anyone but a future ombudsman the methodology would be mundane and repetitious. Thesecases vary from getting a television set releasedfrom a University apartment storeroom to clearingup some misinformation about "incompletes" inthe securing of Murphy scholarships, from gettingautomat machines repaired to seeing that University apartments were appropriately heated duringsevere cold spells. In all of these cases I waspleasantly surprised with the high degree of cooperation given by various administrators.In a smaller number of cases the initial problemor grievance seemed to be caused by an existingrule, policy, or procedure or by an operationalorientation or attitude that the complainant foundodious or inequitable. Several of these turned outto be the result not of the rule or procedure butof the misapplication of the rule (usually on thebasis of misinformation) in a particular case. Themisapplication generally caused the complainantto misapprehend what the formal rule was, andsettlement, via the procedure outlined above,generally brought results to his or her liking andusually recognition of the legitimacy of the actualrule. In other cases misapprehension of the actualrule occurred where the real obstacle was a subsidiary or technical rule. An instance of this wasthe following.A dispute was brought to my attention involvingthe use of Faculty Exchange by a student groupfor publicizing a non-campus event. There seemedto be disagreement as to whether there are criteriaof subject matter to which large-scale mailings bystudent groups should be subjected. There are not,at present, any such criteria. This particular mailing was sent back for lack of a Faculty Exchangereturn address and formal Office of Student Activities approval. (All student groups should checkwith the Student Activities Office about thesetechnicalities before sending large mailings.) Thereis apparently some question as to whether subjectmatter criteria should be set up in the future.I feel there should not be any such criteria. Faculty Exchange is a service provided so that members of the University can communicate with eachother, not just so they can transact strictly Uni-2versity business. Obviously, if Faculty Exchangebecomes flooded with mass mailings some mechanism might need to be instituted to discouragefrivolous use and reduce financial burdens, such asa pro rata charge. However, scrutiny of the subjectmatter is uncalled for and illegitimate save in casesof public nuisance or abuse.In other cases, however, the existing rules orprocedures were indeed the cause of grievance,and I would like to discuss a few of these cases indetail.1. When a student who has already been admitted to the College performs exceptionally poorlyin the last portion of his or her last year in highschool, he or she may be put on "admissionsprobation." The rules governing this status demandthat the student's academic record be reviewedat the end of each quarter, and unsatisfactoryperformance in any quarter is sufficient groundsfor removing the student from the College. Besidesa certain amount of ambiguity as to what constitutes unsatisfactory performance, and in spite ofthe intelligent manner in which the procedure isnormally applied, the rule has so many flaws thatit should be either overhauled entirely or discarded.First, by taking a single quarter's work as thecriterion the student may find himself excludedon grades received by many first year studentsduring their initial adaptation to college. Second,coincidence may bring about an unrepresentativequarter's grades, thereby excluding a studentwhose true potential will thus never be known.Third, the particular emotional or motivationalstress which caused the impaired performance atthe close of the student's high school career maynot be overcome in a single quarter. This does not,however, mean that once this problem is overcomethe student could not and would not be a goodor even exceptional student. Fourth, the imminentthreat of exclusion is not only a cruel tormentto place upon a first year student but may itselfcontribute to continued academic difficulty.In conclusion, either no one should be admittedon probation (that is, either withdraw the acceptance or honor the acceptance without prejudicein each case) or the period of probation should beextended to a full year, the criteria for successshould be clarified and put more in line withnormal academic standards, and stronger efforts should be made to get at the cause of the declinein academic performance.2. Standards of dress for library employeeswas another case of rule dispute. At issue waswhether slacks for women or jeans for anyone wassuitable attire for public-meeting employees of thelibrary. The slacks issue was quickly resolved andthe library affirmed a policy of equality in allemployment practices. The seemingly laughableissue of wearing jeans really is an economic problem of some merit. In inclement weather or industy Harper Library stacks, dress slacks imposeupon students the costs of cleaning and highercost of purchase which reduce their profit fromwages. Settlement was reached by making provisionfor on-time changing of clothes in bad weather orprotection of clothes with work garments. Decisions as to detailed dress standards were leftto departmental supervisors.3. There were several disputes regarding withdrawal from dormitory contracts. I have requesteda clarification of the meaning of sufficient grounds("strongly compelling reasons," securing a replacement, etc.) which I hope will be circulatedprior to next year's dorm contracting. I have alsorecommended that students, preferably from theInter-House Council, serve on the withdrawalscommittee. This recommendation was adopted.Another recommendation was that the clause permitting increases in rent during the academic yearbe dropped from dorm contracts. All rent increasesshould take place, and normally have taken place,prior to the signing of these contracts.4. There has been and will continue to be serious dispute regarding past and future disciplinaryprocedure. However, as this procedure is in flux(a state in which it will hopefully not remain muchlonger) criticism cannot focus on actual effectsand side effects of existing procedure and wouldaccordingly only reflect my opinions, biases, fears,and recollections of the last disciplinary hearings.A third type of case which I handled this yearinvolved a plea for additional or improved servicesand facilities. I shall mention only three.1. General grumbling has long held that Collegeadvisers are poorly informed as to the quality ofcourses, degree requirements, and course additionsand cancellations. A large portion of this problemis due to the poor feedback they receive fromfaculty and students. Hopefully, the course evalu-3ations movement will provide them with betterinformation on course quality. However, forkeeping abreast of changes in degree requirementsand course additions and cancellations, the advisers are dependent upon continual communication with the faculty. To improve this processI have requested that each Divisional StudentAdvisory Council investigate the particular problems in its area and recommend remedial mechanisms or at least exert some pressure for qualitative improvement of existing channels of communication. Hopefully, the Council will also comeup with recommendations on how guidance incareer and graduate school selection and achievement can be improved.2. General grumbling has also deplored the lackof parking facilities in the campus area. Apparently, little additional pressure is needed. Thecity has refused to grant further building permitsuntil additional parking space is provided. Sincebuilding projects are already in the works, theUniversity must of necessity deal with an areatoo long neglected.3. On several occasions, student groups havecomplained about the lack of space for studentorganizations and facilities. Since a somewhat fluidsituation now exists with regard to space, due tothe opening of the Regenstein Library and theHinds Laboratory for the Geophysical Sciences, Ihave requested that the Department of PhysicalPlanning attempt to open more space in ReynoldsClub for student organizations. I hope these planscan be developed soon. Demands for more immediate occupancy have been handled by some shufflingof space among existing student activities with somesuccess. However, this remedy is obviously a stopgap measure and will not suffice over the long run.Lastly, I would like to say a few words aboutgrievances which are not brought to the attentionof the ombudsman. Students apparently feel, byand large, that the more pervasive an irritation is,the more futile are attempts to remove it; thatthe more longstanding a rule, policy, or procedurethe more likely it is that attempts to amend oralter it will fail. Thus many of the most primarysources of discontent are never raised and so arerarely handled in such a way as to effect improvement.This is not to imply that the ombudsman can orshould develop and implement pervasive reforms.But he should gather information on the extentand causation of these largescale grievances so thateffective reforms can be intelligently developed. In performing this function he is largely dependentupon student use of the facilities of his office andcontinual communication with him. The utilityand the value of a student ombudsman, by beingdependent upon student recognition and use, isthus dependent upon the trust students have inthe current office holder. In the hope that effectivestudent participation in the selection procedurewould help allay the suspicions which clouded myappointment and have perhaps reduced my effectiveness, I have favored a selection procedureidentical, save for certain details, with the oneinstituted for the selection of the next ombudsman. Yet even with increased trust in theappointee, the office will continue to be dependentupon student use of this facility. Hopefully, thisresource will, in the future, be put to more andbetter use by those it was intended to serve.Steven CopeINCOME FOR THECOMPUTATION CENTERFebruary 10, 1970TO: Current and Prospective Users of theComputation CenterFROM : John T. Wilson, ProvostA midyear review of the financial condition ofthe Computation Center has revealed a continuedincrease in the difference between expenses andincome, even when augmented by underwriting.Present estimates indicate that the financial support required this fiscal year from the University'sunrestricted funds will exceed $500,000, a newhigh. The University's general budget will not support this level of continued underwriting of theCenter.In emergency sessions the Director of the Center, the Computer Policy Committee, and I haveexplored avenues for reducing expenses during theremainder of this fiscal year. Substantial reductionsin expenses must be made. Hopefully, these willnot seriously affect the planned availability ofcomputer services, including the new IBM 360/65computer.However, control of expenses is only a partialsolution to the deficit problem. A more importantpart lies in increased support from those on thefaculty and staff who use computational services4for teaching, research, accounting, and other functions. The University community has sufficientcomputational requirements to support a Centerof high quality. The continued availability of sucha Center is presumably of great importance tothis community. Therefore, I suggest that eachof you, whenever possible, use the Center ratherthan facilities which may be available to youoff-campus. The new 360/65 equipment will provide service at a cost per unit of computing lessthan has been the case in the past.It is to your interest, to that of your colleagues,and to the University in general that funds available to you for computation services be spentin the Computation Center. It is only if you do sothat a high quality Computation Center can bemaintained at this University.A TIME OF TURBULENCEANNUAL REPORT OFTHE STUDENT MENTALHEALTH CLINIC 1968-69March 15, 1970Midway through the academic year October throughJune it is our custom to survey Clinic trends andto examine whether broad shifts are occurring.Those with primary responsibility for providinghealthy conditions of living and learning may thenconsider what changes they may wish to initiate.Before turning to our report of the past yearlet us review Clinic use through February 15 bystudents enrolled for the current academic year.Preview of 1969-70For the first time since the inception of theClinic in July of 1956, we can report that theproportion of undergraduate users is more nearlyin line with their campus registration.Can we account for this shift? A substantialreduction in the size of the Class of 1973 allowedreduction in overcrowded living conditions. Weknow that population density in itself may increaseanxiety and tension, and in a youthful populationthis can more swiftly reach epidemic intensity.In 1964-65, when the entering class was increasedby almost one hundred students, we reported asharp increase in Clinic use by first and secondyear undergraduates which far outstripped theincrease in undergraduates on our campus. Weconcluded from a review of their symptoms thatthere was not a greater incidence of mental illness but rather that the services provided by the University to ease transition from high school tocollege were overtaxed.It is characteristic of youth to require a moreimmediate response from those around them. Wecommented last year on the urgency and impatiencewith which young students demand the accomplishment of radical change in themselves and in theirenvironment. If reduction in numbers of their peersallows them more frequent access to seasonedadults, they can achieve change in a more gradualfashion. Thus, anxiety and tension engendered bychange can be more readily mastered. In an earlierreport we commented on the adverse effect ofa very intense, tightly scheduled orientation fortnight after which students felt abruptly droppedinto an amorphous, seemingly uncaring, community. Are we now providing a more extended periodof supportive acculturation? This then may enableyoung students to take confirmation from the University community that change need not and indeedcannot be accomplished overnight and that thereis time for the gradual infusion of learning andmastery of what has been learned.Two groups of Clinic users show no change inthe current year. These are graduate students whoare new to campus and first-year women. Althoughonly 40 percent of the Class of 1973 are first-yearwomen, they continue to be 63 percent of first-yearClinic users. Apparently we have as yet been unable to introduce supportive measures which willmake the transition to college less disruptive tothis vulnerable group.Graduate students who are newcomers to campus continue to use the Clinic at a rate which is15 percent higher than their proportionate enrollment.' We can expect higher usage by these youngadults as they enter professional education or afield of intense specialization. They are nowrequired to give up many options, and the oneoption they have selected, especially in the earlymonths, seems no longer as full of promise as wheninitially chosen. To many of these students it ishelpful to have an opportunity to consider theirchoice in a neutral environment such as the Clinicprovides. But perhaps the number of studentswho are beset by doubt and diminished capacityto work would be smaller if clarity in academicprocedures and expectations were increased. Weare at a point in time when most areas of highereducation are undergoing a highly publicized,searching scrutiny and restructuring. It then becomes very easy for students to externalize what5may be internal confusion. The presence of adultswho have conviction about their work can offerthe kind of sturdy support which then permitsthe young initiate to perceive for himself what isinternal confusion, to separate this from what isexternal to himself, and to find renewed energy topursue life goals.1968-69: A Time of TurbulenceThe past academic year was a time of turbulence on our campus and at other universitiesacross the nation. We can expect that youth willrespond with heightened and less manageable intensity and that this may achieve epidemic proportion when our society is seeking a rapid reordering of its structure. We examined the difference in impact on Clinic use between upheavalin the immediate environment, such as the sit-in,and catastrophic national events such as the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Dr.Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert Kennedy.We reviewed Clinic applications for the weekfollowing these assassinations and compared themfor the same period in the two preceding years andin the year following. In none of these was thefluctuation in applications of significance. The twoyears preceding the sit-in showed only the trendof rising applications that we noted generally forthe Clinic.This was not so for the two week period of thesit-in, when applications rose by 33 percent; in thefollowing year they dropped by the same amount.Those applying did not appear in the list of suspended or expelled students, and few even referredto the sit-in in their requests for service. Ratherthey described the usual problems of studentsseeking relief from emotional distress or illness.It was our conclusion that disruption in the immediate environment provoked a loss of equilibriumin students customarily able to manage their liveswithout recourse to psychiatric intervention.Only two first-year students described difficulties in terms of the sit-in: "I don't feel basicallyinsecure, just very upset; the sit-in ties in veryclosely with the despair of my friends. I've usuallybeen pretty idealistic and even unrealistic aboutthe world, but the sit-in brought a lot of uglinessout I hadn't seen before. My friends have lostall their faith in people and the meaning of theuniverse. I don't feel nearly that desperate, butvery upset. The friends I usually talk to are allgoing through the same thing. I need some otherperspective." The very high proportion of undergraduatesfound among students disciplined for the sit-in isconsistent with the inner turbulence characteristicof their age. The open expression of strong emotionrelieves unmanageable tension, and the discomfortand loss of composure in those they provoke servesto make their own less humiliating.What we have said about the new graduatestudent and his uncertainties applies even morestrongly to the young undergraduate. We notedsome of the typical comments made by first-yearstudents who felt sufficiently uncomfortable tomake use of the Clinic.From a seventeen-year-old: "I experience extreme tension and fear of insanity resulting fromdissatisfaction with my ability to live in and dealwith the University of Chicago."From several eighteen-year-olds :I have always been concerned with makingfriends and have a hard time tolerating coldness. In high school I had a group of friendswith whom I was secure. This is true here too,but I am trying to discover what kind of criticalframework I can use to evaluate people.I have trouble getting myself to do importantdistasteful things such as homework.I want to sort out of myself the values I havegrown up with. I want my insides to be free.I want to regain my capacity to function well,to have a certain harmony, solidness, and equanimity.With one exception, the complaints we havelisted sound deceptively simple; none are. Theymask a range of difficulties from relatively mild todeeply entrenched for which only intensive psychiatric intervention can be effective.Yet even for this group it is helpful to havefrequent encounter with adults who reflect a senseof sureness about themselves and their profession,who can listen and be moved by what they hear,who are firm without rigidity. When we know thatwe do indeed provide opportunities for such contact, a student's inability to use such help can beidentified as his own problem. We can then hastenand support his search for values which aremeaningful to him and which do not erode responsibility for his own life style.Too frequently in these times, students havedemanded support from the university communityfor idiosyncratic needs in the area of academic6aspirations, living conditions, or sexual behavior.They have insisted that these be changed fromde facto to de jure so that their own anxiety anddoubts about their behavior can be avoided andtheir way of doing things receive the stamp ofauthority. By responding to such demands we onlysucceed in postponing that personal confrontation,that inner encounter which enables students totest, expand, strengthen, and unify their resourceseven in these turbulent times. It is this which willplace them on the road to finding that "harmony,solidness, and equanimity" for which we all quest.Six-year TrendThe following tables reflect the fluctuation inClinic use. For the past year 8.5 percent of studentsenrolled on the Quadrangles used our services.Hospitalizations were at the rate of 1.9 per thousand. Fourteen percent of Clinic users were referredto private therapists, 5 percent to the OutpatientDepartment of Psychiatry, and 4 percent to othercommunity clinics and agencies. A preview of1969-70 indicates for the first time a drop inClinic use by undergraduates in their first andsecond years.Dr. John F.

DEANS' BUDGET COMMITTEEMEMORANDUMS TO FACULTY ANDSTUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITYThe Deans' Budget Committee was appointed August 5, 1969 by John T. Wilson, Provost of theUniversity, at the request of President Levi, tostudy the problems of the 1970-71 budget year.Members of the Committee are Sidney Davidson,Dean of the Graduate School of Business; A. AdrianAlbert, Dean of the Division of the Physical Sciences; Roald F. Campbell, Dean of the GraduateSchool of Education; Dr. Leon O. Jacobson, Deanof the Division of the Biological Sciences and ThePritzker School of Medicine; and D. Gale Johnson,Dean of the Division of the Social Sciences. DeanDavidson is Chairman of the Committee.November 19, 1969The Deans' Budget Committee of The Universityof Chicago has recommended a 3 percent increase inthe University's academic and business budgets andtuition increases of $225 for all students in the1970-71 academic year and $150 per year each yearfrom 1971-72 until further notice.The Committee made its recommendations toPresident Edward H. Levi in its initial report datedNovember 7, 1969. The report is now under consideration by the officers of the University in consultation with the deans. Since submitting the report,Dean Davidson has asked for more time in which toconsider its recommendations in view of a possiblefurther decline in the level of government grants andcontracts.The Deans' Budget Committee noted that theUniversity's fiscal year 1970-71 will be one of financial stringency. It added :It appears that total income at present levels oftuition and gifts will be barely adequate to meetthe 1969-70 level of expenditures. . . . Increasingbudgeted expenditures involves many risks of financial distress and (with an increase in tuition)of student protest. Yet not to increase expenditures in this period of inflation presents the danger of lower quality performance of. essentialUniversity services and faculty and staff departures from the University.The specific recommendations of the Committeeare as follows :1. A 3 percent increase in the basic academic andbusiness budgets of the University. This will increase the budget by approximately $1,340,000.2. A tuition increase for all students of $225 peryear ($75 per quarter). Tuition would be$2,475 per year for graduate students and$2,325 for undergraduates. Assuming an enrollment level of 8,400 students in 1970-71,this would produce a net increase in incomeof about $1,400,000 after deducting a 30 percent student aid allowance.3. An announcement that tuition will increase by$150 per year ($50 per quarter) each yearfrom 1971-72 until further notice in order tofacilitate longer-run planning by students andparents as well as the University.The Committee stated "we will continue ourstudy of longer-run financial planning and will submit at a later date our recommendations for thenext five years."Current tuition at the University is $2,100 peryear (three quarters) for undergraduates and $2,250per year for graduate students.Tuition figures at other comparable institutionsare as follows:1969-70Brown University $2,300Columbia University. . 2,360Cornell University 2,415Dartmouth College 2,350Harvard University 2 ,400Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology (MIT) 2,230Northwestern University 2,210Princeton University 2,350Stanford University 2,145Yale University 2,350February 13, 1970The Deans' Budget Committee of the Universityhas reaffirmed its recommendation for a tuition increase of $225 for the 1970-71 academic year. TheCommittee's original recommendation to this effectwas reported November 19, 1969. Following the request of President Levi, the Committee reconsidered its recommendations, particularly in light ofrecent budgetary developments in federal government programs and continued circumstances thatcould negatively influence endowment and gift income.The Committee's affirmed recommendation callsfor tuition increases at both the undergraduate and graduate level at $75 per quarter ($225 for the academic year) for the 1970-71 academic year.Still under consideration by the Deans' Committee are other aspects of the total budget, particularly the level of any general increment and thepossible need to recommend increases in room andboard charges for undergraduates and increased rental levels for graduate housing.April 14, 1970The Deans' Budget Committee has recommendedthat there be no increase in married student housingrates for the 1970-71 academic year.The announcement was made after a lengthystudy by the Committee.At the same time, the Committee stated that thecoming academic year would be the second successive one without a rate increase and, since costshave been rising rapidly, it is likely that a rate adjustment would be necessary in 1971-72.The Committee also noted that the detailed analysis of costs and revenues of individual married student housing units, which it had requested, is nowunder way.The Committee recommended that the method ofaccounting be reviewed to reflect the full cost ofmarried student housing. It also reaffirmed itsearlier recommendation that the study, when completed, be made public.ADDITION TO DEANS LISTArnold W.
