In the words of Janet Jackson: Western, "what have you done for me lately?" Tuition and housing prices increase every year. Classes are either so large that Lecture Hall 4 is the only place big enough to hold them, or they are removed from the quarter's offerings because of staff cutbacks. If Western is a four-year university, why is it taking the average student almost six years to graduate as reported in the April 4 issue of The Western Front! Colleges around the nation are beginning to realize, with the new wave of budget-conscious students flooding to campus, that they must sell their school. According to an article printed in The Washington Post: • "Michigan State University is promising its next freshman class tuition increases will not exceed inflation for four years. • Moorehead State has frozen dormitory prices for the next four years. • Temple University is freezing its undergraduate tuition next year — for the first time in two decades — and cutting the salaries of its president and deans by 5 percent." Western is proposing a tuition raise, pushing rates to an all- time high. The AS board is considering tacking on an additional $ 10 per quarter in technology fees beginning next fall (see story on page 4). Add to all of this the continuously outrageous Health Center fees, and students are left wondering if it will ever end. A student that began his or her career at Western will have sunk $480 into the Health Center by graduation time; more if he or she was afflicted with an illness that required a doctor's consultation. For students left wondering how they can scrape enough money together for tonight's meal, these fees seem extraneous. SlIiliiii^BHiB^^HIiiiifl Does a remedy for our ailments exist? Quite simply, no. •|BliHiBB|iilljB^iiill Take for example the microcosmic scenario of a student who has lll!l§§^^ been sqeezed for almost $500 in health fees over his or her academic career but doesn' t have the time or energy to brave the crowds and impotence of the Health Center to make use of the SIHlIlBilili^iiiiililiiill service.
