.On e Small Step... 6::J ~ej t't '91 WHQ aM I TQPq'( -- .---, ~MrN. UM System President, C. Peter Magrath, took a chance with N=W$"N3a THe eDUC~Tiol'l PRe.~iDe.NT, ' the Coordinating Board of Higher education When he pro­ posed a different formula for figuring the funding for the univer­ 1MB eNVi~~NMetlT PRe~iPeNT QR sity. Fortunately the gamble paid off. The UM System stands to receive an extra $9 ' million if approved by the Missouri rHe, D~lJG W~R PRe~jDeNrt'• . General Assembly. It's been a long time in coming, but someone is finally star­ ting to do something about the embarrassing state of funding for higher education in Missouri. Magrath should be comm­ .> mended for taking the first step in what is to be a long journey towards adequate funding. Magrath and the CBHE can't do it all by themselves though. Missouri taxpayers are blessed with lower taxes than residents in most of the other states; but still they whine and moan about poor education standards and lack of funding. When will these '''" people wake up and realize that funding for education is directly linked to the amount of taxes they pay. If Missourians want quality they're going to have to buck-up. You can't get Filet Mignon on a hamburer budget. For many years the cost of higher education has been ab­ sorbed by students and their parents, but with the cost of educa­ tion skyrocketing, they can no longer afford to bear the burden. Legislators in Missouri, and around the nation for that mat­ ter, must face up to their fears of being voted out of office because they voted for an increase in taxes. A tax increase is a phrase that sends chills up the spines of most taxpayers, but it is a necessary evil. Just think of the potential if evey tax­ payer in the ,state paid an extra ten dollars and it went to higher education. It would be a great shot in the arm for many ailing programs. Magrath has taken a step in the right direction, but he must Parking Problems Won't Go Away follow up with his proposal and also take a hard look at what ails the UM System.

One Small Step... 6::J ~e..i f't 'fft WHQ aM I 10»4Y -- .--, ~MrN. UM System President, C. Peter Magrath, took a chance with ~WS'N8a THe eDUC~T i ol'l PRe.~iDe.NT, . the Coordinating Board of Higher education When he pro­ posed a different formula for figuring the funding for the univer­ 1MB eNVi~~NMetlT PRe.~iPeNT QR sity. Fortunately the gamble paid off. The UM System stands to receive an extra $9 · million if approved by the Missouri r He, D~lJG W~R PRe~jDeNrt>• . General Assembly. It's been a long time in coming, but someone is finally star­ ting to do something about the embarrassing state of funding for higher education in Missouri. Magrath should be comm­ mended for taking the first step in what is to be a long journey towards adequate funding. Magrath and the CBHE can't do it all by themselves though. Missouri taxpayers are blessed with lower taxes than residents in most of the other states; but still they whine and moan about poor education standards and lack of funding. When will these people wake up and realize that funding for education is directly linked to the amount of taxes they pay. If Missourians want quality they're going to have to buck-up. You can't get Filet Mignon on a hamburer budget. For many years the cost of higher education has been ab­ sorbed by students and their parents, but with the cost of educa­ tion skyrocketing, they can no longer afford to bear the burden. Legislators in Missouri, and around the nation for that mat­ ter, must face up to their fears of being voted out of office because they voted for an increase in taxes. A tax increase is a phrase that sends chills up the spines of most taxpayers, but it is a necessary evil. Just think of the potential if evey tax­ payer in the .state paid an extra ten dollars and it went to higher education. It would be a great shot in the arm for many ailing programs. Magrath has taken a step in the right direction, but he must Parking Problems Won't 'Go Away follow up with his proposal and also take a hard look at what ails the UM System.
