Ninety-four years of editorialfreedom Vol. XCIV, No. 37-S Copyrigh 1984 Ann Arbor, Michigan --Tuesday, August 14, 1984 Fifteen Cents Twelve Pages College costs to rise 6 percent nation-wide From staff and wire reports The average cost of attending college this fall will rise 6 percent for students living on campus, ending a three-year string of double-digit increases, accor- ding to an annual survey released yesterday by The College Board. For the third straight year, highly selective Massachusetts Institute of Technology will be the most expensive college in the nation, with total annual costs climbing 9 percent to $16,130. THE 6 PERCENT average increase students can expect this fall follows three years of double-digit college cost rises that ran well ahead of the nation's overall inflation rate. College officials have generally ex- plained that steep tuition increases were necessary to allow professors' salaries to catch up after the severe in- flation of the 1970s. The annual College Board survey examines the total costs of more than 3,200 public and private colleges, in- cluding tuition and fees, books and sup- plies, room and board, personal expen- ses, and transportation. The Blanchard administration an- nounced yesterday that all of Michigan's public four-year colleges now have agreed to freeze their tuition for in-state residents. THE LAST TWO schools to agree were Saginaw Valley State College and Michigan Technological University, according to Rick Cole, Gov. Blan- chard's press secretary.

The SWAT teams are down from arena rooftops. Traffic, smog, and crime are returning to normal. Olympic organizers are gleefully toting up the receipts. And athletes and spectators alike are returning to their hometowns to share their joy or disappointment and to retell the wonders of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, U.S.A. THERE IS much joy and disappointment to share, and many wonders to tell - including the fact that these Games were held at all, let alone that they are being touted in some corners as the biggest, best and most successful Olympics ever.

Heptatitis search slows By GEORGEA KOVANIS University Hospital is reducing its effort to find the Hepatitis-B carrier who infected five hospital workers, a hospital spokesman said yesterday. According to Stephen Hause, researchers have. "pretty much run out of leads" in determining who infected four nurses and one doctor. He added that the hospital will not continue its stepped-up efforts to locate the carrier who is believed to have been a patient in the thoracic surgery ward where all of the infected employees worked. Caroline O'Donnell, one of the infected nurses, died July 31 as a result of the virus. Three other nurses and a doctor were also infected. "The urgency of finding the source is pretty much gone, Hause explained. "A simple answer was not forthcoming," said Dr. Dennis Schaberg, head of the hospital's infectious disease control office. He added that there is a "high likelihood no explanation will be forthcoming." The hospital has followed-up on the obvious clues, he said and because of this there is no need to have five or six people working on the case full time. However, he said, one researcher will still spend time searching for the source of the fatal outbreak.
