Missouri governor dies
when airplane crashes
by Jim Salter
Associated Press
GOLDMAN, Mo. — Gov. Mel Carna
han, the Democratic candidate in one of
the most hotly contested U.S. Senate races
in the country, was killed when the plane
shuttling him to a campaign rally crashed
in rainy, foggy weather.
The Cessna 335, also carrying Car
nahan's 44-year-old son, Roger, who
was piloting the plane, and campaign ad
viser Chris Sifford, 37, went down Mon
day night 25 miles south of St. Louis. They
had been on their way to a rally for Car
nahan, 66, who was running against Re
publican Sen. John Ashcroft.
There were no survivors, said Jerry
Nachtigal, the governor's spokesman. In
vestigators from the National Trans
portation Safety Board were sent to the
scene.
“We found wreckage in very small
pieces spread over a large area. We have
found some remains we cannot identify
at this point,” Jefferson County Sheriffs
Capt. Ed Kemp said.
Ashcroft's campaign immediately sus
pended all advertising and other opera
tions.
“Obviously this is not a time for
politics. This is a time for the state to come
together,” Ashcroft said.
Carnahan’s name will stay on the Nov.
7 ballot because the deadline for chang
ing it was Oct. 13, Secretary of State Bek
ki Cook said.
Lt. Gov. Roger Wilson will serve out
the remainder of Carnahan’s term, until
Jan. 8. If more voters cast ballots for Car
nahan than Ashcroft on Nov. 7, the seat
would become vacant when Ashcroft's
current temi ends Jan. 3,Cook said
Tuition rate soaring, study says
by Matthew McGwire
College Press Exchange
As a college degree becomes more
necessary, it is also becoming more ex
pensive, a recently released College Board
study found.
Tuition at public and private institu
tions has doubled over the last 20 years,
while the median family income has risen
20 percent since 1981, according to the
study. In the last year alone, the cost of a
four-year degree has risen 5.2 percent
at private institutions and 4.4 percent at
public institutions.
According to the study, yearly tu
ition, fees and room and board increased:
• $814 at private four-year colleges,
$16,332 this year versus last year's
$15,518, a 5.2 percent increase;
‘ • $148 at public four-year institutions,
$3,510 versus $3,362, a 4.4 percent in
crease;
• $490 at two-year private institu
tions, $7,458 versus $6,968, a 7 percent
increase;
• $56 at two-year public institutions,
$1,705 versus $1,649, a 3.4 percent in
crease.

The price of a college degree in the U.S. continues
to rise faster than inflation, according to a new survey;
average costs 1999 and 2000:

The study also broke down tuition
costs by region and found the most ex
pensive private four-year education comes
from the New England states at $21,215
per year, while the Southwest average
is $11,965 annually.
Results from the study weren't all
grim, however. While a college degree
may be more expensive, employers are
paying more for those who attain a
four-year degree.
Students who enter the work force
are getting paid 18 percent more that
those who graduated twenty years ago.
Alos, students who attain an advanced
degree are making 27 percent more than
their decades-old counterparts.
The. study also found that financial
aid given to students over the past 10 years
has increased to match the steeper tuition
bills.
Think about it!
