Europe’s plans help raise stocks to highest level since August Bailout fund reported to be greater than expected, US companies report profits By David Randall & Stan Choe The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Stock index- es closed Monday at the highest point since the U.S. debt limit showdown in August. The market was driven higher by a round of big corporate take- overs and reports that Europe’s bailout fund will be larger than originally thought. The Nasdaq composite turned positive for the year. Netflix Inc. plunged 26 percent in after-hours trading after the DVD-by-mail and video streaming company forecast a sharp drop in fourth-quarter profits. Investors are still waiting for a resolution to Europe’s debt problems. European leaders said they made progress at a weekend summit and plan to unveil concrete plans for containing the crisis by Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 40 points in the first hour of trading but moved steadily higher through midday following reports that Europe’s takeover fund will be greatly expanded. It finished with a gain of 104.83 points, or 0.9 percent, at 11,913.62. “The market is expecting that there will be some kind of deal worked out Wednesday,” when Richard Drew | Associated Press European financial ministers are scheduled to meet, said Uri Trader Walter Lundon, second from right, works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Monday.

VIEWPOINT Out-of-state tuition bigger in Texas

The Tuition Policy Advisory Committee begins its first of many regular meetings today, as it will deliberate from now through November on a tuition rate to recommend to Presi- dent William Powers Jr. Powers will make his recommenda- tion to the Board of Regents, who will then set the final tuition rate for the next two years. According to its Oct. 12 forum, TPAC is operating under two cost-conscious directives from the UT System, which include tying any requests for an increase in tuition to four- year graduation rates and capping all tuition increases to the change in the consumer price index. The CPI is a statistic calculated by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics . It is a relatively basic calcu- lation of changes in the cost of living in an area. It measures the changes in the prices of commonly purchased items and services, including coffee, cereal, gas, toys and haircuts, to de- termine how much more or less people have to pay to live somewhere. Based on Texas’ CPI, the UT System determined all tuition increases will be capped at 2.6 percent. Yet, the CPI for the United States is about 1 percent higher, a fact mentioned only as a side note at TPAC’s forum but one that has much larger consequences for the oft-side- noted one-fifth of our student population: out-of-state and international students.

THE FIRING LINE Leaving no stone unturned

I read Thursday’s Daily Texan feature on rapper Kreayshawn and thought it was awesome! I commend The Daily Texan for choosing to chronicle what is a very real shift that is occurring in hip-hop. It is a scene that is not given its due respect, and there are so many young, talented rappers who are not getting the attention they deserve. Not only is it a disservice to the artists themselves, but also to the potential audience of people who can have their lives enriched by expe- riencing a rich culture that is transforming the music industry. The genre has entered a renaissance that can’t be ignored. I have to thank you all at The Daily Texan for not leaving any stone unturned and bringing to the UT community many promising artists and diverse representation from all genres.
