I FEBRUARY I, 1974 TWENTY CENTS Dean Reveals Students Challenge Williams $250 Tuition Rise For '74-'75 0n Public Sector Placement By Ricardo Hinojosa Discussing a subject which he says will not lead to popularity Dean Albert M. Sacks presented his view that a tuition increase ofat least $250 is needed for 1974-75. The tentative proposal was pre- sented at the faculty meeting held January 25.
