It could soon cost more for students to go to William and Mary.
The college's finance committee voted unanimously yesterday to recommend raising tuition by 400 dollars.
The tuition increase is designed to help the college compensate for a nearly five-million dollar reduction in state money.
The action must be approved by the full board of visitors, which meets in November.
If approved, the increase will go into effect in the spring semester.

An A-B-C agent accused of giving moonshine as a gag gift will not be criminally charged.
Special prosecutor Don Caldwell says there's not enough evidence to charge Agent Bev Whitmer.
Whitmer presented two game wardens with mason jars containing a clear liquid at a farewell dinner in Franklin County in May.
At the time, he described the liquid as "water."
But the two wardens said it smelled and tasted like liquor.
They later dumped it out.
Caldwell says because the evidence was thrown out, it's impossible to prove what it was...
AND since A-B-C keeps no inventory of its seized moonshine, it's impossible to say ANY was taken by Agent Whitmer.

Fred Pledge is currently serving an eight-year sentence for accepting bribes from drug dealers on the streets of Northwest Roanoke.

Should the court rule in Pledge's favor, his time in prison could be reduced by as much as five or six years.
