What, if anything, would you do to change the policy? We now need to find out if we, as students, feel that the greater ease in registering for classes is worth the difficulty in paying early.

The administration is willing to work with us to gain that satisfaction. 2. With the current lack of funding from the state legislature, what do you feel should be an appropriate hike in next year's tuition? We are not in favor of tuition hikes. However, hikes in yearly tuition arc inevitable if the university is to maintain quality in our high education. In the past few years, tuition hikes have ranged between 6 and 9 percent.

Wcare determined that the university provides the best education money can buy. 3. What changes, if any, would you make in programs and lectures at the university? Our lecture program is one of the top programs in the nation. Wc would push for more cooperative efforts to continue lectures at a to bring in lower cost.

In the past few years, the students have paid increasingly more in tuition and special fees. Instead of helping the students by increasing spending on higher education, or at least keeping it the same, the Legislature has decreased its financial support. If the students try to make up for the money the Legislature cut back on, it would send it the message that if the budget needs to be trimmed higher education is the place to go because students will make up what it cuts out. 3.
