If he does call for a tuition increase he will be asking for students to pay more for less. This just does not seem fair especially when SUNY's low division students were hit with a $150 tuition increase at Othe beginning of this academic year. The increase, which the SUNY Board of Trustees tried to prevent, was also the result of the governor's trimming of his SUNY allocation last vear. However, that was only a $9.1 million loss, and this year he cut $26 million from the budget. Will this mean a tuition increase which is greater than last year's? Sources close to the governor say yes. Some say that he may seek a $250 increase a year for all full-time students. Others say he is considering that students contribute $1,000 to an endowment fund when they graduate. What a joke. Why must many of SUNY's students, who are 'piTeH nW IS JiWY AG.ENR .
