"A price increase of about 1
a dollar is all we're talking ,
about - from about $11 last
year to $12.95 this year,"
Weeden said.
He said, however, the
possibility of a cap and gown ~

"prohibitive."

."V
As of now, we sell what are
classified as disposable |f
{owns. To stock inventory of m
i reusable nature would be W
cost prohibitive," he said. ?
"There are different
{owns for different degrees, ?j
rhe price of a Ph.D. gown 11
tow runs about $130. We ?|
couldn't afford it and neither
could the students," Weeden J)
?id. "The deposit on a ||
rental gown would run 1
higher than the price we're
asking for the disposable f|
unes." g
Since gowns vary in size,
Weeden said, it would be Kj
financially impossible to i
accommodate different I
classes through the years
and to replace losses.
