can do now is try to stay in shape while

told to come back in January."

"We continue to see excellence at
the university, as evidenced by our
progress in admissions, teaching and
research," Board of Trustees chairman
William Hubbard said. "This modest
tuition increase in necessary for us to
sustain our momentum and continue
to provide the quality of college education
this state expects of its flagship
university."
The state provided only 40 percent
