Dillard noted that the total annual costs at WCU for tuition, room rental, and board of $1,395 are the second lowest of the lb-campus UNC system. I he room rent increase, to become effective next fall, would raise the total to $1,440. The higher total still would be third lowest in the system even if none k\ the other institutions increase their rates, Dillard said. At present, tuition at WCU is $480 a year (ranking 10th among 1<> campuses), room rent at $480 is 8th among 16, and food is $435 a year, the lowest rate in the system. Dillard said no other increases in charges for next year are anticipated. Chancellor H.F. Robinson pointed out that the residence hall operations are entirely self-supporting and that required maintenance on the halls necessitates the relatively small increase. Student Body President Mike Killam voted against the increases and expressed the fear that the increase would not raise revenues because students could live as cheaply in off-campus housing. Dillard pointed out that fewer than half of the students at Western live in residence halls and said the increase would affect only about 3,000 residence hall occupants, The board also was told that the tuition rate for part-time out-of- state summer school students to $30 an hour and to regular session part-timers from out-of-state to $40 an hour. Dr. Robinson said applications for next year are coming in at a rate of 35 to 40 percent ahead of last year. As of last Friday, 1,067 applications from new students had been received as compared with 754 a year earlier. In other matters, the board: --Approved appointment of Alfred H. Bloeser. Ann A.

Western Carolina University expects to reach a student body of between 8,000 to 9,000 within three to five years, visiting members of the University of North Carolina Board of Governors were told here Dec. 11 by Dr. H. F. Robinson, WCU chancellor. Applications for next fall, he said, already are running 35 per cent and more above 1974 levels, and noted the 1974 applications resulted in a growth of more than eight per cent this year. He predicted that by next fall, WCU will have to begin limiting enrollment in the same manner that some other institutions already have done. Western, he said, should be allowed to grow over the next few years even beyond regulated maximum annual allowances to overcome difficulties caused during recent years by frequent administrative interruptions.
