After the Board of Governor’s tuition de- cision and recommendation, the General Assembly was in charge of making a decision. The Gen— eral Assembly subsequently re- ‘jected the Board of Governor’s recommendation. Instead, the House of Repre— sentatives ofthe General Assem- bly proposed a five-percent tu— ition increase. Some students see this as a sign of the changing times in the tu- ition battle. Student Body Presi— dent Michael Anthony, member of the NCSU Tuition Taskforce, says, “Usually with the tuition ’ topic, it is the students against the administrators and the Gen— eral Assembly. This time, it is the students and administration against the General Assembly. The administration can see that this can benefit them and the stu- dents.” Student Body Treasurer Daniel Gilligan agrees with Anthony, “It is a major Win for the students. This shows that the Board of Governors is definitely on our l side.” NCSU students seem to have different Opinions. Freshman Joshua Abbe, an aerospace engi- neering major, says, “In the long run, when we all get out and have a job, we’ll look back and realize how five percent was so small. At the same time, we’ll start paying taxes and wish college students would pick up more oftheir own bill. We have to realize it’s not just about us, but society as a whole.” However some students, like Jonathan Gatlin, a freshman in business, are indifferent to the tuition plight.“I’m here on schol— arship so it really doesn’t affect me, but I feel bad for everyone else who pays for their educa— \ tion.” The tuition discussion, at this time, is not final. The senate of the General Assembly has not reached a figure for an antici- pated tuition increase, butthe prospect does not look like they will adhere to the Board of Gov- ernor’s suggested tuition freeze.
