A record $2,361,870 budget was approved for the 1972-1973 school year, according to Dr. Fredric B. Irvin, president of Newberry College. “In order to help meet the newly approved budget,” Dr. Ir vin said, “the Board voted to increase tuition for the 1972- 1973 school year by $200. Board ing students will pay a total of $2,590 for a school year while commuting students will pay $1,650.” “We are making every effort to keep student expenses down,” Dr. Irvin said, “but the pro blem of keeping up with infla tion and avoiding additional deficit financing left the Board with no alternative but to in crease tuition.” Newberry College was one of the few private colleges that did not increase its tuition this year. The Board will also ask the three Synods of the Lutheran Church in America that con trol the College to increase their annual financial support by $70,000 to $250,000.

Dr. Cummings, who has been a member of the fa culty since 1960, will conduct research on academic problems stimulate research on the part of other faculty members, and act as the liaison between the College and federal and state research programs. Dr. Irvin also told the Board that the new $650,000 Music Building under construction will be ready for occupancy in late January or early February.
