              the brown and white lehigh university bethlehem pennsylvania 215 861-4181 vol 96 — no 36 friday march 1 1985 woltjen defends tuition increase before forum by chris palmeri vice president and treasurer john woltjen and engineering college dean donald bolle defended the 800 tuition increase and the additional 100 laboratory fee for engineering and science students at wednesday's forum xv meeting woltjen blamed the cost of main taining the new library for a large part of the increase he said the library added 190,000 this year and will add nearly 440,000 to next year's budget woltjen compared this year's nine percent tuition increase to previous years and to other colleges which compete with lehigh for students if you consider what's happening relative to a period of time it's not that bad bolle justified the 100 extra which will be charged to engineering and science students by explaining the increasing cost of maintaining and updating computer labs the university has six computer facilities which bolle estimates cost 100,000 a year to maintain bolle said he did not think it was fair to charge students who were not using the computers bolle said half would go toward maintaining the current labs and the rest would contribute to the building of a new one bolle said the 100 fee only meets part of the cost and that he believes the fee will increase m coming years this differential tuition will affect 1,500 engineering students and 100 science students bolle brought up the point that lehigh charged an extra fee years ago and told of a time when tuition was 750 but 800 for engineering students apply that now bolle said and the students would be paying a thousand dollars extra during the forum's courtesy of the floor freshman lisa palazzi com plained
