Wan also said she does not like to see the
tuition increase because students are not getting
anything out of it, such as more classes offered
or campus activities.
Even though some students said they did not
like the raise in tuition, they did agree that of all
state-supported schools, USC was fortunate to
haVb the smallest increase.
Student President Tom Young agreed. He
said the tuition increase is not as bad as it could
have been.

said. The 4.9 percent increase, however, allows
(JSC to work with an extra 1.9 percent.
Young said he personally represented USC
and other institutions in a two-month lobbying
effort to keep tuition down. He said the outcome
af the increase was much better than anticipated.
