By JAY LEVIN
For the first time in a long
while, Michigan's dorm rates
will not be the Big Ten's highest
next fall. That news, however,
fails to sweeten the burden of
paying what many believe to be
an unreasonable sum for a nor-
mal double room-a lofty $1400.
"I can see the rates rising in
a few years to the point where
nobody would want to live in the
dorms anymore," remarked
Housing Director John Feld-
kamp. Two thousand dollars, he
said, is a real possibility in the
near future.
MEANWHILE, several other
Big Ten schools will see their
rates increase next fall. Ohio
State will undergo the sharpest
rise when rates there take a
6.5% hike, reaching $1,464 per
year.
Elsewhere, Purdue's rates will
increase 6.4% to $1,297, Indiana,
the least expensive, will tack on
an extra $50 to its present $1,097
figure and Iowa remains un-
changed at $1,218. The other Big1
Ten schools have yet to an-
nornce their fall rates.
"No school is alike," said
Feldkamp, "and we don't go by<
other rates." Feldkamp views
such price races b e t w e e n
schools as "insignificant."
UNLIKE most of the Big Ten
dorm systems, the University's
does not provide linen service,
or serve breakfasts.
But, claims Feldkamp, the
dorm resident here gets more
food in two daily meals than
others get in three, because ofI
the dormitories' liberal re-serve
policy. f
He adds that the eliminationr
of the breakfast menu severalb
years ago saves each dorm resi-a

for the most part, the services
would not be used by a large

A plan, outlined in the report,
called for the establishment of
a large dining facility to serve
all the residents of the "hill
area" dormitories. The imple-
mentation of this common eat-
ing area would save each stu-
dent an estimated $45.
Exessive vandalism was also
cited in the retort as a signifi-
cant cost factor.
