Initial student reaction to the
tuition increase proposed by the
USC administration this past week
is generally unfavorable. An increase
of $75 a semester for fulltime
undergraduate and law
students, a $120 a semester increase
for graduate students and a
$150 a semester rise in out-of -state
fees was recommended in the
proposal.
"That's a lot of money," Debbie
Bishop, a commercial science
sophomore, said. "It's more than
my whole grocery bill for a month.
They've got to justify it."
USC PRESIDENT James B
Holderman said the increase was
necessary because state funding
was not as much as anticipated,
and the energy situation has had
an impact on the budget.
"I say it's ridiculous. It's no
explanation at all," Bishop said.
"This is a great deal of money to
any student, and as a veteran, I'll
be hurt because there is no raise
planned for me."

just an example of everybody's
passiveness in excepting higher

"If the circumstances were

least swing into the wind against

could effectively hold up an increase,
but the effects would still
get back to the student in the form
of reduced quality and services. "

veteran's benefits, will have a hard
time affording the increase, according
to Robert Thurber,
coordinator of veteran affairs.
"I think this will really hurt
veterans since they've only had
one 15-percent raise since 1976, and
that was to make up for the
previous several years' inflation
rate," he said. "This just extends
the argument that the G.I. Bill is
constantly being eroded by all the
increases in the direct and indirect
costs of living and going to school,"
Thurber said.

EDWARDS SAID the increase
would also effect the eligibility of
students for loans, work-study
