              Fees Also? by NANCY COONEY "We will have to raise the tuition next year there is no question about that," said Fr. John R. Cortelyou, president of the University. Cortelyou pointed to increases in salaries, and in cost of operation, especially with the new facilities on the uptown campus. In short, he Workman Hurt in Fall From Schmitt Center A steam fitter working on the Arthur Schmitt Academic Center suffered two broken ribs and a broken blood vessel Friday when he fell through a dirt shaft at the construction site. Ben Story, 43, who works for the M. J. Corboy Corporation, heating subcontractors for the S. N. Nielsen Company, is reported in satisfactory condition as of Saturday morning at Alexian Brothers Hospital. The accident, which occurred at approximately 3 p.m., caused a temporary halt in construction as Story was taken away in an ambulance.Volume 45, Number 14 DePAUL UNIVERSITY, CHICAGO January 11,1967 TUITION UP '67-'68 Refuse To Reveal Rate says, "We've got to come to the realization that the cost of higher education is increasing."His position is backed by the American Council of Education which stated the following in the Dec. 16 issue of Higher Education and National Affairs: "Spending for each fulltime college and university student averaged $2,442 last year, about 35 per cent more than the average of $1,815 ten years earlier. Higher average figures were shown for private institutions .. $3,102 for 1965-66." Cost Remains Lower With present tuition averaging $1,020 for 17 credit hours, Cortelyou says that the deficit is obvious, and he points out that DePaul's tuition is still lower than those of the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Roosevelt University and Loyola University. At the University of Chicago, tuition is presently $1,710 a year, but will be raised to $1,980 for 1967-68. Northwestern's rate is $1,800, while Roosevelt's runs $1,122 for 17 hours. Loyola's present tuition is $1,220, but this will escalate to $1,320 next year. New Increase Necessary Fr. Theodore J. Wangler, vice-president of student personnel service, feels that not only is this raise in tuition qualified, but "the deficit in this year's budget is enough to have demanded a raise last year." He would not pin down a specific amount regarding the increase, but said that the figures are still in the hands of the comptroller. His position is, "I hope we will get by." But if an analysis of present fees in relation to the cost of the University's services shows a deficit, fees also will be increased. Will the increase in tuition appreciably affect next year's enrollment? In Fr. Cortel you's words, "I would hope that it wouldn't. I think we're living in a more affluent society." He adds, "At the same time, I think the University is bending every effort it can bend to get out and get more financial aids for students. Lincoln Park Glistens in Winter Dark RUSTIC REMINISCENCE: The little red barn (left) at the model farm at Lincoln Park near the uptown campus causes one to recollect the good ole days when Christmas trees were hand-cut in the forest and brought back on a sleigh. Noticeably absent at that time, however, would be the towering Hotel Lincoln. CROOKED AND WIDE AWAY Unlike the "straight and narrow," this winter wonderland lane (below) in the zoo near the Lincoln Park Campus winds majestically through the snow with only glimmering lamplight to reflect shadows on the crystal-white background. Julia Lewis Dies Noted DPU Donor by VINCE CERRI Mrs. Julia Deal Lewis, the wife of Frank Lewis who donated to DePaul University in 1955 the Kimball Building, died on Dec. 27 in Palm Beach. "Her counsel was highly valued during the years she served as honorary chairman of the DePaul Women's Board. With all her charitable activities, she was always a devoted wife and mother, and our deepest sympathy is extended now to all the members of the Lewis family," said Fr. Comerford O'Malley, DePaul chancellor and personal friend of Mrs. Lewis. Fr. John R. Cortelyou commenting on her character and scope of activities said that under her guidance the Women's Board started holding luncheons for graduating coeds. "She was proud of DePaul University coeds. She had a genuine interest in what the University was doing and in the progress of the new Lincoln Park Center. She was a warm friendly woman with an intense sense of loyalty. Any affair she put on, like a benefit party, she was always certain to include her Vincentian friends." Mrs. Lewis delved into many types of religious and social programs. In St. Stephen Parish, she organized the first Catholic Boy Scout Troop in Chicago. With the help of Father Moses Kiley now Archbishop of Milwaukee they pioneered the little Mission of the Holy Cross, a movement that was to grow into the great Chicago Catholic Charities organization of Chicago. In the pre-depression years she fostered and patroned the Illinois Club for Catholic Women. The Mrs. Frank J. Lewis Fund for Tuberculosis Poor is active in providing milk, cod liver oil, medication and emergency aid that may be needed for the out-patients of the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium.The Tribune editorial of Dec. 30 said that, "By their capital gifts to continuing institutions, the Lewises guaranteed that their good works would live after them indefinitely, and be of assistance to many persons not yet born."
