Not only can the University boast of
its position as Big Ten football cham-
pion, the school also carries another
unique distinction: University room
and board rates are nearly tops this
year among Big Ten colleges'
Only Northwestern charges more
than the University for single and
double rooms and board. The Univer-
sity does a bit better with its rates for
triples, trailing Northwestern, Min-

nesota and Michigan State.
SINGLE ROOMS with board now cost
$1,935 at Northwestern and $1,906 at the
University. Northwestern doubles run
$1,716, with University doubles costing
$1,638. Triples, including board, are
$1,610 at Northwestern, $1,533 at Min-
nesota, $1,470 at Michigan State and
$1,445 at the University.
Indiana University ranks lowest of
the Big Ten, with singles costing $1,359,
doubles at $1,229 and triples at $1,097.

Norm Snustad, acting associate
housing director, said comparing rates
can be tricky since services differ
among universities. But, he did offer
several explanations for the com-
parably higher rates at the University.
HIGH LABOR COSTS, according to
Snustad, is the primary reason for
higher room and board costs.
"Labor is more expensive here than
in most states," he said. "Other states
have less need to be competitive with
local industry."
Snustad also said dorms here are
older than at most other universities,
which leads to higher repair costs and
less efficiency. He cited West Quad as
an example of an older dorm that is dif-
ficult to clean because it lacks
elevators. This results in higher labor
costs.
IN ADDITION, Snustad said large
windows in many dorms contribute to
high energy losses.
"I'd like to think we have classy
rather than efficient design in our dor-

ms such as Mo-Jo and Stockwell,"
Snustad said.
He pointed to the unlimited food re-
serve policy and dining areas in each
individual dorm as frills not available
at most other schools.
"OUR STUDENTS expect maybe a
bit of higher standards than at other
schools," he contended.
The University, however, provides
only 13 meals per week, while most of
the other Big Ten schools offer 21 meals
per week.
Snustad said since the University has
to compete with apartment sublets in
the summer, it receives little housing
revenue at that time of year. He also
said the University attracts less sum-
mer conference business than most
colleges and has a high rate of dorm
vandalism.
In addition, Snustad said the Univer-
sity is unique in that "we have a dif-
ficulty in getting a large student labor

Carter to

ask

aid for

mid-income

students

WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Carter will announce a major pro-
gram today to provide a reported $1.2
billion to college students from
middle income families because he
fears a 71 per cent jump in college
costs has put their chances for higher
education in jeopardy.
Hoping to stave off a move in
Congress to give a $250 tax credit to
the parents of all college students,
Carter will propose a combination of
grants and loans for the aid, said
White House Press Secretary Jody
Powell.
IT WAS announced last month that
Carter had set aside $700 million in
contingency funds in his fiscal $979
budget for the aid, but sources in the
government and Congress said the
aid package will total $1.2 billion.
Nearly $1 billion will go to increase
the government's $2.2 billion Basic
Educational Opportunities Grants
program, which is now targeted at
low-income students, the sources
said. The rest will go in increased
funding for the Guaranteed Student.
Loan program and campus work-
study programs.
The package will raise the family
income limit from $25,000 to $40,000
for students to receive loans with the
government subsidizing the interest
while they are still in school.
THE PRESIDENT and Health,

Education and Welfare Secretary
Joseph Califano will unveil the
program today.
Powell said the program will be
targeted mostly at the middle class,
but he did not specify what families
Carter would include in the middle
class.
Most basic grants now go to
students from families earning less
thatn $10,000.
THE GRANTS drop to a minimum
of $50 as income and assets increase.
The cutoff point for a family of four
with one child in college is roughly
$17,500 in income.

At present, some 2.4 million stu-
dents attending college next fall are
expected to receive basic grants av-
eraging just under $900 apiece.
For fiscal 1979, Carter has pro-
posed $4 billion for existing programs
to help college students and has
proposed raising the maximum grant
from $1.60 to $1.800. He also has
proposed making more students eli-
gible.
BETWEEN 1967 and 1975, Powell
said, college costs have increased by
about 71 per cent, putting the
average cost of tuition, room and
board for each student attending pri-

vate school at more than $4,000 a
year.
For each student attending a
public college or university, the cost
has climbed to about $2,000 a year,
Powell said.
"For lower- and middle-income
families," the press secretary de-
clared, "the ability to send their
children to college is in jeopardy."

and concern expressed in Congress

in policy or sweeping reform when
Terrance Sandalow takes over the
reins of the Law School next July.
"The role of the dean isn't one of a

Sandalow said. "My role will be to
act as a chairperson of the faculty, a
person who can call their attention to
issues at hand."
IF APPOINTED by the Regents,
as is expected, Sandalow will become
the 12th dean in the Law School's 118-
year history. He was nominated for
the position by a search committee
headed by Law Prof. Francis Allen.
"Prof. Sandalow is particularly

and educational leadership to the
