The Commission on Tuition and Fees voted Wednesday to recommend tuition be raised $290 in 1975-76.
The final vote, five to four, was generally students against faculty. with students voting for the 10% hike rather than the much higher increase the faculty wanted.
A Faculty Senate committee on Employment and Renumeration has proposed a 12 to 13% cost-of-living increase with an additional 5% merit increase. Staff is requesting a 14% increase, with half for cost ofliving and half for merit.
The $290 increase, which is approximately 10% more than the current $2,910 flat rate, would not be sufficient to cover a 12% raise.
Figures presented by the financial services office estimated that in order to pay for a 12% increase in faculty salaries and other expenditures, tuition would have to be raised $583. or slightly over 20%.
The recommendation now goes to the Resource Manage-

Housing Policy altered
Freshmen will no longer be required to live at home or in university approved housing due to the housing shortage.
The university residency statement has been changed to read, “We urge new students to live i l residence during their first year at the university.” University policy previously requn *a mat freshmen live at home t * in university housing, such a residence halls or fraternit and sorority houses.
The un. ersity has been able to provid .* an additional 366 spaces for si ’dents, and another 91 art under legotiation, but there is still a long waiting list for on-campus housing.
In August, President John R.
Hubbard sent a memo to faculty members, asking them to provide housing for students if possible.
“At present we face the greatest scarcity of available housing in our history.” wrote President Hubbard.
Two fraternity houses are being leased by the university. Men's North, formerly the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, houses 42 students.
Another house is leased to Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and was supposed to have 11 spaces spaces for transfer students from the Men’s Complex, which is already overcrowded, but the fraternitv says it needs the space
New dentistry dean expected by January
A new dean of the School of Dentistry probably will be appointed by January siad Dr. Harvey Colman. chairman ofthe committee that began the search for a new dean in March.
‘‘We’ve narrowed it doen from more than 50 to a group of individuals who we ate looking at in greater depth.It’s more than six but less than 20,” he said.
The interim dean ofthe school is being considered for the post, an administrative aid inthe school said.
Dr. William Crawford has been acting dean since October,
1972.	when Dr. John Ingle resigned after coming under fire from conservative dental alumni groups.
“Dr. Crawford is definitely being considered at this point,” said Sue Van Germert, Dr. Crawford's administrative assistant.
“he was asked to submit his resume and to appear before the
search committee,” she said.
Dr. Ingle resigned after the Century Club, a university dental support group, and the USC Dental Alumni Association criticized his handling of the school and his views on dental care.
Leaders of the Century Club abd the Dental Association demanded Ingle’s ouster and brought 72 charges against him to the attention of President John R. Hubbard.
Among the complaints were that Ingle advocated socialistic programsin dental are, that he was responsible for bringing unqualified minority students into the school and tha he ad appointed too many Jews as professors and department heads.
Ingle received considerable support from the university. Dental students held rallies in his defense and 97 members of the School of Dentistry faculty (Continued on page 2 )
for new pledges.
Harris Plaza, formerly a residence for students over 21, has been changed to a residence for undergraduate men.
Graduate and married students have been provided with 105 spaced in the Casa Del Rio apartments at 825 W. Adams.
Space has been provided for undergraduate women at Mount St. Mary’s College between Figueroa Street and Adams Boulevard. A tram is available for transportation to and from campus.
A tram has been scheduled to pick them up at 7:15 and bring them back ah 5:15 p.m. Their schedules have been made to fit this time schedule.
Debby Epstein, a freshman in drama, came to Los Angeies from Massachusetts and is livir<» at the Harbor Bourlevarct apartments. She has no car and has to get up early to catch the tram.
She said she waits until 1:15 for class to begin three times a week and until 10a.m. two daysa week. She is also taking a nip.ht class and has to find a ride back on those nights.
Epstein, an experimental admissions student, sent in her housing a month late, said Rudy Levya, director of the Experimental Admissions Program. Epstein said she was only three days late. She is on the waiting list for a room in the residence halls but even if she is admitted this semester she won’t be able to move in because she is bound to a lease until Jan. 23.
President Hubbard said, “Past experiences tell us that about six weeks after the beginning of classes, sufficient changes ha\e occured for us to be able to find housing for virtually all of these students, on or near the cam pus.”
ment and Planning Committee, which can either approve it and visory Council, or send it back to the subcommission for reworking.
Under a $290 increase, faculty salaries would probably be hiked 6% to 7%.
Faculty dissatisfied
At the Faculty Senate meeting Wednesday, after the Tuition Commission had made its recommendation, faculty expressed dissatisfaction with the recommended 10% hike and questioned the expertise of the Tuition Commission on financial matters.
But some faculty members said the recommendation would be sent back to the Tuition Commission as faculty outnumber students on the Resource Management and Planning Committee.
“I think it’s very unrealistic that we voted for it and I think it’s going to be bounced back to us,” said one member of both committees.
Students voting for the increase were Mavme Cannady, Joe Flanagan, David Press and Peter Scolney. Devrie In-triligator. assistant professor of physics, also voted with the students.
physical education and chairman of the Faculty Senate.
Allen Mathies, associate dean of the Medical School and chairman of the committee, and Jerry Wiley, associate dean ofthe Law Center, abstained.
Grant Beglarian, dean of the School of Performing Arts, left the meeting before the vote, although he said he would have voted for the $290 increase.
Students on the committee had expressed hope earlier that the meetings would not result in a battle between faculty wanting pay raises and students trying to keep tuition from risingtoo high.
Good Discussions
Mathies, chairman of the committee, expressed concern that the students and faculty not be divisive. He said he was pleased with discussion at the meetings, which he said showed that people were concerned with university-wide finance.
“The tenor of the committee and its discussion have been very good,”he said.
Perry expressed similar sentiments after the meeting. “I’m really concerned about any identification of the vote, that it was right down a party line kind of thing,”he said.
“My big concern is that I hate like hell to have that kind of dichotomy suggested , the polarization between students and faculty.”
He added that discussion in the meetings between students and faculty was not polarized, and said he was pleased that the students were doing nothing hard-line or irrational.
Asked about whether the faculty would turn the recommendation around in the Resource Management and Planning Committee. Perry said. “My hipe is that it doesn’t come to a kind of showdown where we’re outvoting each other and talking about power blocks.”
fi^Slcirian said tuition increases and salary raises ahd nothing to do with each other as P»r he was concerned.
