ANDERSON Canadian Press Staff Writer It's called higher education and that's a good term in the inflationary '60s. The cost of going to college is getting higher by the year. No one knows it better than the freshman living away from home and attending one of the higher-priced universi- ties in Canada. During the next four years he'll have to cough up as much as $9,000 for tuition, books, room and board and other living costs. And that doesn't take into account the likelihood that fees and hous- 7 costs will go up again next all. Of course, there are lower- priced universities and col- leges. And it helps if you live at home. But if you can get by without earning at least part of the cost you're probably in a minority nowadays. About 250,000 students are attending Canadian universi- ties this fall, a jump of 50,000 from 1966-67 and nearly 200,- 000 more than the number 10 years ago. : Behind them are 3,922,000 children in primary and sec- ondary schools, a figure that will rise to 4,005,000 in 1975. By that time, says the Eco- nomic Council of Canada, the university population will be 540,000. A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press shows that tuition fees and room- and-board costs are rising de- spite hold-the-line efforts by universities and increased government grants. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics say about one-third of degree-granting universi- ties and colleges have in- creased their fees this year. Two-thirds reported increased accommodation costs--in- creases ranging from $10 to $140 and averaging $55 for the school year. Tuition fees are only a part, usually the smaller part, of a university student's costs. Away from home, he must pay for food and lodging. And even in his home city, if it's a large one, he may find it eas- iet, because of difficult trans- portation problems, to live in or near the university. A U.S. insurance company in a recent survey reported that a student attending Mc- Gill in Montreal must figure on paying $9,000 for his four- year course. The highest in Canada, this includes $800 a year in tuition fees for a medical course, for example, and $1,450 for room and board, travel, laundry and books. HIGHER IN U.S. The survey noted that a stu- dent at the University of Brit- ish Columbia in Vancouver THEY'RE RADCLIFFE 'They're 'Radcliffe', my dear. No, not the college-- the sunglasses. Found them in my Christmas stocking. One of the new styles from an important manufacturer. Darling accessory for my Mongolian lamb outfit, don't you think?" Christmas gift- idea from Foster Grant Inc. will pay an average of $457 for tuition and $1,150 for room and board, books and other expenses--a total of $6,348 over four years. Comparable figures for sev- eral other universities: McMaster University, Ham- ilton--$600 and $1,315 for $7,- 660; University of Manitoba, Winnipeg--$606 and $1,098 for $6,816; Dalhousie University, Halifax--$600 and $1,250 for $7,400. The highest figure in the United States, where costs generally are listed as consid- erably higher than in Canada, is for the University of Chica- g0; $1,980 and $1,850 for $15,- 320. How does the average stu- dent raise the money? He'll get a summer job that may pay most of the following academic year's costs and look for an after-class job for the remainder. Or he may qualify for a fed- eral student's loan on which there are restrictions, such as need. Banks have tuition loans, at regular rates of in- terest, on which the student may borrow up to $1,000 a year. His father or guardian endorses the note and the stu- dent repays the loan when he starts to work. MEMORIAL FREE Students at Memorial Uni- versity in St. John's, Nfld., have the best deal. They pay $575 to $600 for off-campus room and board but have have no tuition fees. These are covered by government grants. Study and living conditions at most universities this year are crowded, the survey finds, and schools have embarked in recent years on extensive and costly building programs to meet the demand. Typical is the University of Calgary. A university official, Sr PO er ge 'Regina campus of the Univer- reporting an enrolment jump of 1,114 this year to a record 4,850, said conditions will be desperate in 1968-69 because there are no plans for new buildings.

The Mc- intyre River will be dammed . ie a ee a ee ey eee oe ee gs a flood-control project, Creating a lake around which all university buildings will be situated. The lake will be used for swimming in summer and for skating in winter. Lakehead also reported an influx of students from a tiny riot-torn part of the world 8,- 000 miles away.

To meet the need the students formed a co-operative with the help of Regina businessmen and are renovating six houses in the city to provide some accom- modation. The CP survey also finds some changes this year in curricula in various universi- ties. A new voluntary arts pro- gram at the University of British Columbia in Vancou- ver was described by former UBC president Dr. John R, Macdonald as "the most fun- damental change in curricu- lum in the history of the (arts) faculty." The program is taught voluntarily by fac- ulty members. Its main topic is a study of "topics relevant to contemporary society." Little Brandon University in Brandon, Man., chartered as a university this year with an enrolment of 582--up about 100 from 1966-67 when it was Brandon College--has institut- ed a wildlife management program. The school is pur- chasing sites for field work-- marshland, floodplain, upland prairie and hill sites. It offers courses in the applied study of natural areas. The University of Manitoba in Winnipeg has installed an IBM 360-65 computer in the education building at a cost of $1,750,000. It is the langest known to be used in a Cana- dian university.
