FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015 THE INDEPENDENT DAILY NEWSPAPER FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 DAILYIOWAN.COM 50¢ Regent mulls UI hiring Tuition increase backed By KATELYN WEISBROD [email protected]

The tuition-freeze train may finally come to the end of the line. The state Board of Regents will vote in December on whether to approve a $200 increase — about 3 percent — in tuition at the UI for in-state undergraduate stu- dents next school year, while freezing tu- ition for such students at Iowa State Uni- versity and the University of Northern Iowa. The cost would ring in at $6,878. Other students across the three institutions would see increased tu- ition, while all students would pay more in fees. At the regents’ meet- ing on Thursday, both Schoenfeld UI Student Government grad student President Liz Mills and UI Graduate and Professional Student Government President Joshua Schoen- feld said they supported the increase. “At this point in time, it is clear the university is in need of increased funding so as not to affect the quality of the ed- The state Board of Regents meet in the IMU on Wednesday.

TREPANNING THE SKULL

Friday, October 23, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can make a difference if you voice your opinion and do your best to bring about positive changes. Let your competitive nature put you in a position in which you will have greater control over your life, environment, and future. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Network, share your interests, and put more into your relationships with the people you find most uplifting. An opportunity will come from a most unusual source. Don’t rule out anything before you have taken time to investigate the possibilities. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be prepared to make last-minute changes in order to avoid a situation that could get ugly. Use discipline and you’ll avoid emotional reactions from unreasonable people. Learn from past mistakes instead of repeating them. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Choose to make personal improvements instead of focusing on what others do wrong. Build your self-esteem by working hard at doing your best. It’s easy to hide behind a negative attitude, but you can rise above it if you show courage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Socialize, and you will meet someone import- ant. Your insight and the expressive way you interact with others will result in exciting opportunities. Initiate the changes you would like to see happen. A day trip will help you relax. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Socialize with friends who contribute as much as you do. Surround yourself with people who are supportive, progressive, and forward-thinking. Make a romantic move that will bring you closer to someone you love. Don’t limit what you can do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t hide from your problems. Express your thoughts and feelings, and put the past behind you. Letting someone hold something over your head will be debilitating. It’s up to you to take control of your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An interesting idea will grab your atten- tion. Look for ways to incorporate new concepts into your current lifestyle in order to bring about a healthier balance between work and play. Too much of either will lead to costly consequences. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t overreact to what’s going on around you. Evading difficult issues will not make them disappear. Eventually you will be forced to be honest and share your thoughts. You’ll have more fun if you deal with matters promptly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t rely on anyone to handle import- ant personal matters. You can get a lot more done if you work alone. Plan a nice surprise for someone who means the world to you. Your efforts will be appreciated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Observe others’ reactions, and you will know where you stand. A chance to put money aside will help you feel at ease and in control. A change of attitude regarding someone or something from your past will improve your outlook. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t count on anyone to honor a promise, and you won’t be disappointed. Rely on yourself and your resources in order to finish what you start. Keep your personal affairs a secret, and you’ll sidestep someone trying to damage your reputation.

By JORDAN HANSEN [email protected]

With the Hawkeyes lolling in a bye week, now is as good of a time as any to examine how things might shake out in both Big Ten divisions. Iowa, obviously, got a firmer hold on the Big Ten West with its victo- ry over Northwestern on Oct. 17. Things in the East, however, got quite a bit more complicated. Michigan State’s improbable last-gasp win over Michigan kept it undefeated and tied at the top of the East standings Iowa volleyball coach Bond Shymansky talks to the Hawkeyes during a time-out in Carver-Hawkeye on Sept. 27, 2014.
