Brooks represented Fresno in the Olympic torch relay and was being honored along with six other Fresno area participants in a picture ceremony held Saturday by Mayor Dan Whitehurst at Roeding Park. Whitehurst, who described the relay as "a national celebration," set up the cere- monyas a chance for the local participants to be photographed together. Brooks, a CSUF senior majoring in therapeutic recreation, spoke right up when the mayor asked the participants if any of them wanted to say something about their experience.

Mayor Whitehurst admired the staff. "Hey, 1 never did get to see this get-up." "said Whitehurst. "It worked out real smooth," replied Brooks. On the torch the Greek words Altius, Citius. and Fortius are inscribed. They signify the Olympic motto — higher, faster, farther.

Bennington College in Vermont comes out the list of the ten most expensive schools to attend.

This year's curtailment of cost increas¬ es, she adds, may mean colleges have finally caught up wilh such deferred expen- . Now that inflation has subsided and interest rates are down, agrees AASCU's Ludwig, college costs could level off for a few years. But Ludwig and College Board officials are quick to note they really arent sure why cost increased so little this year "Everybody's been saying it's because colleges have finally caught up with expen¬ ses and because the economy is better," she says.
