Section 3 Chicago Tribune, Sunday, February 15, 1981 College costs hit $10,000 a year By Casey Banas Education editor komr OF THE aatioa'i most Brestirioui universities (liiS'zsm III and colleges will crack the cost for atudenU for the first time next fall. Vermont'! Bennineton College, which prides itseu an a low faculty-student ratio of 8 to 1, will charge Us 600 students $10,560 for tuition, room, ana noara, up irom $9,430 for the current year. A shade behind is Harvard university, at Yale University will be at $10,340, Brown University at $10,280, and Stanford University at $10,005. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY will Just miss the mark at $9,994. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Has increased its tuition 19.4 per cent from $6,200 to $7,400.

It has not 1 i WMtelioEe Hardy set room and board charges lor fail, out an estimates. 10 per cent hike will push its total cost above $10,000. "Inflation nits colleges just lute tne tamuy pocitei-book." said Joe Paul Case of the College Scholarship Service of the College Entrance Examination Board. Case, who directs the college board's annual survey ot student expenses Issued in June, said college costs for students have skyrocketed 90 per cent in tne last decade. "A MOST CONSERVATIVE estimate will be 90 per cent in the next 10 years," emphasized Case, who expects top prestigious private universities to reach the mark by 1991.

But he also predicts tnat incomes will rise and families should hot have to pay a greater share of their earnings tor college, even witn continuing soaring costs. Usually half the students in top colleges have some type of financial aid package of loans, scholarships, and campus work. College costs are so high, Case said, a family with an annual income of $100,000 and two children in college may now qualify for some financial aid if they are enrolled at the most expensive campuses. "Even with an income of $100,000, could you afford for college costs?" he asked. Two leading area private universities, northwestern and the University of Chicago, have not yet set new rates for next fall.

The current tab is $8,383 at North western and $7,815 at the University of Chicago, and it's not likely either will reach the $10,000 mark for this fall.

Supporters of ERA get a 'last chance9 By Mitchell Locin ADMITTING THAT nnnierous roadblocks are in their path, supporters of tLe Equal Rights Amendment are gearing up for a "last chance" try at ratifying the proposed constitutional change in Illinois with two key procedural votes expected in the next two weeks.

The front line is again the House, where attempts at ratification over the last few years have repeatedly fallen just a few votes short of the three-fifths majority of 107 required for passage. The House Rules Committee will meet Tuesday to recommend whether the House should keep the three-fifths rule for ratifying constitutional amendments or follow the request of ERA hopefuls to change the rule to a simple majority of only 89 votes. The issue will then go to the full House later in the week or next week, A DEADLINE of June 30, 1982, the congressional finish line for action on ERA, faces the amendment's supporters. So, Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie Chicago, promoter of the rules change, said that the recently-begun two-year session of the General Assembly presents "the last chance for ratification" of ERA in Illinois.

The rules change "would absolutely secure ratification of ERA in the House," she said. Illinois is one of only four states that require more than a simple majority to ratify amendments.
