I love this notion that the people who tend to be the poorest
must be nailed for more cash when budgetary predictions go wrong. I
occasionally take out my tuition receipt from 1991 just so I can
reminisce. Ten percent isn't a huge hike, but ten percent plus ten
percent plus... And I didn't have to pay for laser printing then either (I
know the charge is not unreasonable, but it's a point I'm sour about). I'm
finally going to get that little piece of paper that certifies that my
brain is full, so I'm not immensely (read: personally) concerned  about
the increase. But I know that if it does go through I'm not going to be
very sympathetic to Alumni fundraising campaigns.

On a related note, it's somewhat sad how loud you can be when you put your
dollar where your mouth is...

Regards,
Yohaun.
