Mentioning the Unmentionables ★ ★ ★ ★ Pink Pantie Poacher Nabbed
A charge of peeking at cuties and a yen for pink panties put William Thomas Moltz. 21. a transient from Pennsylvania behind the University station jail s bars Wednesday night.
The alleged peeping-tom was surprised on the third floor landing of the rear lire escape at Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall by special officers Thompson and Benken. campus police, when they flashed their spotlight on the wall during their 10 pjn. patrol.
“He was looking so hard he didn't see us ’til we flashed the light on him,” the officers said. The girls in the rooms were apparently totally oblivious to their stealthy admirer,
because no alarm was voiced until the campus police went into action.
The more interesting aspect of the case came to light when the stocking-footed prowler’s shoes were found on the sundeck of the hall with a pair oi pink panties in each shoe. Even more interesting was the discovery of three more pairs of panties (all pink) on Moltz’s person.
After capture and search of the pantie-lover by campus police, he was turned over to the L.A. police at University station jail where he
High Costs Raise Tuition To $16 Per Unit in Fall
President Fred D. Fagg Jr. addressed yesterday’s all-U assembly in Bovard auditorium on the problems of university finance in an informal talk to the student body. Expansion of univefsity facilities, salary increases for the faculty, and improvements of the physica 1 plant highlighted his talk.
“This is a question of facing the facts,” Dr. Fagg said, “the price spiral has caught up with the university.”
Foremost in Dr. Fagg’s discussion was the announcement to students of a tuition raise effective Sept. 1. It was his desire to talk to the students about the situation before giving a general announcement to the press.
INFORMAL AID
The president’s desire to address the student body without a loud speaker, formal introductions, or other trappings exemplified the informalness of the assembly. At 10 a.m. President Fagg walked out on the stage and immediately commenced his talk.
“We cannot do the job of running this university as it should be done without making changes,” he announced. He pointed out that two years ago tuition was raised $3 per unit and that an increased raise is necessary to continue the high standards of the university.
'Hie new rates will be $16 per unit in all colleges and schools except medicine, law, dentistry, and the Graduate School of Religion. The rates of tuition in medicine and the Graduate School of Religion re-
main unchanged. Tuition in law and dentistry is increased from $225 to $250 per semester for a full course. There are no changes in the few special fees remaining in the university fee schedule. General fees were abolished two years ago.
The average cost of a school year for students carrying 31 units will total $496.
QUESTION POSED The president was interrupted as he explained the raise by a student in the audience Ifc-ho asked if any other universities were charging as much as $16 a unit.
President Fagg proceeded to explain that “SC has been slow in raising rates,” In answer to the question from the floor he cited the tuitions of other schools: Amherst changed its rates from $450 a year to $500. Dartmouth $450 to $550, Yale $524 to $624. M.I.T. $600 to $700. and Stanford has upped its tuition to $499.95. GI school allowance is $500 a year, including books and supplies.
“We knew that in view of continuing increases in costs of supplies purchased by the school, coupled with increased wages and higher costs of maintenance, we must have more income ” he said. “We are a year behind increases now, since most schools raised tuition for this academic year,” he added.
DEANS RECOMMEND On tie deans’ recommendations, department heads and students were consulted in meetings concerning the increase and budgets were discussed before the problem was presented to the assembly. Last week the board of trustees agreed to the increases for next fall.
Faculty salaries throughout the country have been going up for a number of years. President Fagg pointed out. SC is facing competition for outstanding faculty members, and the school must follow the trend if it is to maintain the high national standard of its staff.
“The job of obtaining and maintaining our high quality faculty is a tough one now, and will be increasingly so in the future,” President Fagg said. He went on to quote figures showing that the bulge of veteran students now in school (Continued on Page 4)
Editorial
A Future Insured
From the straight-from-the-shoulder words of President Fred D. Fagg: Jr. yesterday, Trojans could see clearly the picture of SC’s future and the need for action to insure that future. Certainly no one can complain that all the facts weren’t given, or that the blueprint wasn’t a compelling one.
We think that yesterday’s assembly was indicative of a new spirit at Troy, one of vision, hope, and a compelling will for a better tomorrow. The informal spirit and the democratic approach exhibited by President Fagg should be a source of comfort and hope for all who are striving for the Greater University.
No one can complain that SC is not “getting something for its money.” Here is the break-down of what we will see in the New Troy:
1.	Increased faculty wages to obtain and maintain SC’s able faculty in the competition throughout the nation for outstanding faculty members.
2.	Scholarships, grants-in-aid for needy students, and additional loan funds.
3.	The block in which the Student Union stands wjjl he organized into a special student center. Changes will include a new cafeteria in the near future, a new book store, and a YWCA building.
A religious organization building will be erected as well as a chapel. These improvements will necessitate remodeling of the present union.
4.	Rehabilitation of and additions to playing fields and sports facilities.
5.	Additional supplies and books for the University library.
6.	New improvements and supplies for all science laboratories and increases in equipment.
Those Trojans who missed yesterday's assembly should read and understand this program well. You will do a service to your fellow students by passing this copy of the Daily Trojan on to another reader after you have finished.
Troy should ktiow and be proud of the new plans, the new spirit, the new hope that is taking form in this Banner Year.
