Story on Page SA Tuition 'Grief and peace' bill may not pass By Joshua Niziolkiewicz Staff writer

A bill that would provide fi:ee tuition to stu· dents with a B average or better will likely not pass the Illinois Senate. illinois House of Representatives bill 30-41 will probably not be passed this session, said illinois Rep. Lou Lang, who authored the bill. The bill has been stuck in the Senate Rules Conunittee since March 8, after being passed by the House. If it is not passed by the end of the week, the bill will die and will have to be reintro­ duced. Lang said that he does not expect the bill to be voted on next week, but he assures students that it will be inunediately proposed again in future sessiOns. "Even ift he bill dies, I will try again in the fall," Lang said. "If (it) dies in the fall, I will bring it up Sara Figiel / Assoc. Photo editor in the spring, and keep doing so until it passes." Lang said that he does not understand the lack Christoffer Mansby, an intern at the EIU Counseling Center, talked about dealing with grief Thursday night in the Charleston- Mattoon of interest in the mles conunittee conceming the room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. bill. "Families want it badly, and we can afford it," Lang said. "Even without a sruplus in the budget, illinois has a large enough budget to pay for it." Lang said the program would cost Illinois $170 rnillion. Counseling Center explains "We have a $46.5 billion state budget, and we have $1.5 billion in our rainy day budget alone," Lang said. Acting Vice President ofExtemal Relations Jill types of grief, stages of denial Nilsen said that the bill could benefit students, but there is not enough information about the funding for the program.
