tudents were enraged when California State University trustees recently proposed a Scontroversial plan to impose incentive fees to encourage students to graduate faster. Fortunately, this proposal has been shelved indefi nitely. I was excited and relieved after the election when the passage of Proposition 30, a tax measure that avoids deep funding cuts to higher education, was passed. Unfortunately, my joy was incredibly short lived. How dare the trustees even consider such a ridiculous theory, that by gouging specifi c students’ pockets for revenue will actually be an effective way to motivate students. If tuition isn’t being hiked, they are cleverly considering tacking on fees some- where else. “Cal State Chancellor Charles B. Reed and other offi cials had argued the incen- tive plan would free up class space for thousands of new students while helping current students complete their degrees sooner,” according to the LA Times.

The Weekly Chuckle By BRYAN WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The “fi scal cliff” refers to more than $500 billion in tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect after Jan. 1 for fi scal year 2013. Many say this is inevitable, unless the president and Re- publicans reach an alternative defi cit-reduction deal soon. If we go over this “cliff,” taxes will rise for almost every taxpayer and many businesses will be taxed more as well. When a national tax cut expires, the applied result is a tax increase. Approximately $400 billion in tax cuts expire on Dec. 31. The biggest cut would be $65 billion, enacted across the board for most federal programs.

With so many people obtaining a med- ical marijuana card I believe California should make smoking weed legal. “Legalizing and regulating marijuana in California would benefi t the state,” said a CSUSB student who asked to remain anonymous. Secondly, I think marijuana should be legalized because it will benefi t the econ- omy. Today, people pay for marijuana as well as food and beverages containing marijuana in legalized clinics. Imagine if these products were sold legally, in a smoke shop, it could be taxed. I believe the state can make a huge profi t from the sales of marijuana. Granted, people will still grow and sell marijuana illegally, however, that can be reduced due to selling it in public outlets. Buying it from a dispensary will also make it safer to smoke, knowing it is not laced with other substances. Third, I believe the number of misde- meanors and felonies of possession would reduce jail populations. I have heard of people who were put in jail for driving under the infl uence getting released early because there is not enough room. Personally, possession of marijuana is a stupid reason for someone to be arrested. In reality they just take up the space for a real criminal in jail.
