Belden announced the SA's newest campaign against Gov. Jim Doyle's proposal to in­ crease tuition. "We need a tuition freeze and we need it now," Belden said. "Not only that, but we need more funding for higher education. We are being robbed of an opportunity to receive a quality education in the state where we as students, along with our parents and grand­ parents, have been taxpaying citizens for generations." Belden said that the zero percent tuition increase has received criticism from mem­ bers of the UWM community; however, the SA must push forward with this effort. The average debt of a UW graduate, Belden said, is roughly $16,000. Since 2002, tuition will have raised by a per year amount of $2,100. All in all, the UW System had to deal with a 37 percent tuition increase. If the property own­ ers of Wisconsin got an $800 increase over two. years on their property tax bill, he said, the offices of the state's repre­ sentatives would be overrun. "Our campus is not going to stand by while others try to find ways to cut, skim and trim down our budget," Belden said. "We are losing the quali­ fied faculty and staff who need to teach us the fundamentals of education." Not only that, Belden said, but programming is getting cut, student services are be­ coming less accessible and the university is becoming almost inaccessible to underrepre- sented students. Two years ago, the state took $250 mil­ lion out of the UW System to balance the budget and now they want to "patch that hole" by giving $50 million this year, he said. "If you (Doyle) fail to pro­ vide the needed funding for higher education," Belden said, "don't be surprised when Wisconsin's best and brightest graduates flee the state after paying the costs of overpriced tuition."

"This book was a National Book Award finalist and deservedly so. It is a candid and honest look into a surgical resident's expe­ riences. I have a particular interest in the topic because of my medical ambitions, but it is a book that will be of interest to all. Gawande really humanizes doctors. He gives a detailed, realistic, behind-the-scenes look at the happenings in medicine today, which will affect all of us at one point or another during the course of our lives. One can learn so much from taking a look into another's perspective and this is no exception"
