In the past six months, the university has eliminated the undergraduate program of the College of Education, threatened to increase tuition by $500 and housing fees by more than 17 percent, and imposed a $25 surcharge on graduating students. The school's latest plans, released late last week amid a flurry of conflicting statements, call for the elimination of the College of Criminal Justice and the Department of Media Arts. Despite these extreme cutbacks, there has been little outcry from the student body. At the rally at the State House last week, only 400 people bothered to attend. In a university with many more than 10,000 full-time students, this is a poor showing.

One wonders how many of these apathetic students will still be able to afford to attend USC in the future. Student Government President Ashley Abel refused to protest the discontinuation of the undergraduate program of the College of Education. At a board of trustees meeting concerning the elimination of the program, Abel stated he felt it wise to defer to the judgment of USC President James Holderman. Although Abel's attempt at leading a rally at the State House is commendable, it does not compensate for the students' lack of concern. The small turnout at the State House has done little to change the legislature's mood. Since 14,000 plus students can be expected for a USC football game, ms Bates Hou in the building.

If the students of USC will not protest the cuts that the school is being forced to make, then who will? The faculty caught the attention of the media during the Faculty Senate meeting condemning the actions of President Holderman, but the students of the College of Education were barely heard. Although students may feel that nothing can be done, more budget cuts and fee increases are inevitable unless the student body begins to take the initiative by protesting the actions of the Legislature, rather than simply watching the university strangled for lack of money.
