Tuition Raised by Three Percent for 1997-98 FINANCES ► With an increase of $534, next year's tuition is the smallest percentage increase since 1973. The rise is due to the elevated cost of living. byLORNABELL QC Editor-in-Chief Continuing the tradition of an annual increase in both tuition and room and board, the undergraduate tuition for the 1997-98 academic year has been set by the Board of Trustees at $18,334. This is a three percent increase over this year's current tuition of $17,800. Room and board, which Currently stands at $3,212 will also increase by three percent, to $3,308. The three percent rise in tuition is the smallest percentage increase in 25 years, and is one of the lowest tuition increases when compared to other west coast small colleges. Harvey Mudd College, Occidental College and Pomona College have each increased their tuition by 4.5 percent, 4.7 percent and 4.9 percent respectively. Next year's small tuition rise amounts to a mere increase of $534, nearly $400 less than this year's rise, and is minuscule compared to' the $ 1,550 rise from 1989 to 1990. (Please see chart for tuition increases over the past 12 years.) Although the percentage increase is the smallest in years, the three percent increase in tuition and three percent increase in room and board will add "about $1 million" to the College' s budget, according to Vice President for Whittier College Tuition Inc to- , -ice 19&3 Yea.
