Smelted
a
skunk
lately?
What
do
you
mean,
"the
proposed
increase
was
acceptable
to
the
majority
of
students"?
I
never
heard
of
a
tuition
increase
of
any
kind,
let
alone
one
of
7.5
I
mentally
fumed
while
reading
the
article
in
the
"Citizen."
Hit
with
yet
another
increase.
The
sea
gulls
of
the
world
were
congregating
over
my
head;
my
rent
jumped
25;
I
got
2
green
peppers
over
the
weekend
and
choked
when
I
had
to
pay
$
1
EACH;
and
the
Student
Association
(SA)
says
its
okay
to
raise
my
tuition???
HA!!
By
the
time
I
reached
the
SA
office,
my
mental
ranting
and
raving
had
subsided
somewhat.
Here's
a
copy
of
a
letter
the
Student
Association
sent
to
the
CNC
board
meeting:
According
to
Cindy
(the
person
you've
met
behind
the
SA
office
desk
when
getting
you
locker),
here's
what
happened.
Charles
McCaffray
phoned
Cindy
with
the
news
of
the
proposed
tuition
hike
and
wanted
a
written
response
from
the
SA
Executive
to
the
Board
within
a
couple
days,
so
that
the
Board
Agenda
booklet
could
be
compiled.
I
don't
know
why
a
meeting
couldn't
have
been
arranged
for
such
a
contentious
issue,
but
for
some
reason,
the
five
remaining
executive
members
couldn't
get
together.
However,
Cindy
did
conduct
a
telephone
poll
(a
telephone
poll!!
-
is
that
even
legal
in
the
SA
constitution??)
of
the
the
five
remaining
members

after
explaining
to

that
a

increase
("Minimum"

wasn't
all

bad,
actually

for

(I'll
bet
they
won't
put

Since
it
was
a

and

As
my
math
teachers
can
attest,
my
calculations
aren't
all
that
hot,
but
here
goes.
The
7.5
is
only
applied
to
tuition
fees,
so
let's
take
a
look
at
the
Calendar.
For
UT
students,
they
say
$77.00
per
course
plus
$38.00
per
lab.
Now
my
registration
form
has:
3
sciences
and
labs
at
$115.00
$345.00
and
2
other
courses
at
$77.00
154.00
which
comes
to
$499.00
Now
the
minimum
of
7.5
is
applied
to
$499.00,

DATE:

My
rent
takes
50
of
the
$6800
(at
$420
per
month),
and
when
you
deduct
2
semesters
worth
of
books
and
tuition,
there's
not
much
left.
I
would
suggest
you
grab
a
calendar
and
find
out
what
your
fees
are
going
up
by,
and
remember
to
double
for
semester,
or
triple
for
trimesters,
to
get
the
yearly
cost
increase.
Vocational
programs
are
not
exempt
either.
For
example
there
is
a
$63.45
increase
in
the
tuition
for
the
cook
training
programing.
Everyone
of
us
pays
at
least
$25.00
per
semester
to
the
S
A
Unfortunately
the
Student
Association
Executive
was
unable
to
meet
to
discuss
Mr.
McCaffray'
s
request
concerning
the
proposed
tuition
increase
for
the
1990-91
year.
As
well,
we
are
currently
holding
by-elections
to
replace
four
of
the
-members
who
did
not
return
this
term.
However,
I
have
been
in
contact
with
the
remaining
council
members,
and
although
they
are
somewhat
divided
In
their
opinions,
the
majority
feel
that
the
proposed
increase
is
acceptable.
-and
for
what?
To
have
them
say
they
could
care
less
for
the
students
they
are
supposed
to
represent?
That
they
couldn't
stand
a
little
pressure
from
the
CNC
Administration
office
long
enough
to
sit
down
and
think
about
what
they
were
agreeing
to?
Haven't
they
listened
to
the
radio
or
TV
and
heard
that
around
the
province
some
students
are
camping
out
in
their
college
administration
offices
over
a
proposed
5
raise,
and
others
feel
so
strongly
about
raising
tuition
fees
that
they
actually
get
out
and
march
in
protest?
What
does
our
S
A
do?
Rolls
over
and
plays
dead!
What
a
bunch
of
spineless
wimps!
Campaigns
are
on
for
four
new
members
to
be
added
to
the
ones
already
sitting
on
their
hands.
Take
the
time
to
collar
them
in
the
halls,
cafeteria,
or
classrooms,
and
express
how
you
feel
about
the
proposed
hike.
And
while
you're
at
it,
ask
them
exactly
what
else
they
will
do
for
you
besides
providing
a
place
where
you
can
get
drunk!
In
case
you
were
wondering
how
I
feel
about
the
proposed
7.5(MJNJMIIMD
tuition
hike:
I
THINK
IT
STINKS!!!
