Tuition Task Force Reveals
Early Recommendations
The task force said its main
goal was to keep in-state
tuition costs low at the
system's 16 campuses.
Staff Report
A Board of Governors task force
took its next step Wednesday in com
pleting an evaluation of current tuition
policies within the UNC system.
The primary focus of the task force,
which has been at work since February,
is to devise a set of guidelines to aid the
16 UNC-system schools in determining
tuition and fee levels in undergraduate
and graduate programs.
The task force plans to present a set
of 10 recommendations to the BOG in
its upcoming report. A primary recom
mendation will be that the BOG strive
to maintain a low student tuition for
North Carolina residents, a practice
already mandated by the state constitu
tion.
But Gary Barnes, Vice president for
program assessment and public service,
said during Wednesday’s meeting that
keeping tuitions stable was easier on
paper than in practice.
“(The N.C. Constitution) does say
education should be ‘as near free as pos
sible,’ and all we are doing is acknowl
edging that.”
Though the N.C. General Assembly
still has the final say in setting tuition

said students should be glad that the
BOG is eager to take an active part in
the tuition process.
“Students should be encouraged by
the BOG taking action,” Nieman said.
“The board will base (tuition prices)
upon the percentage of growth in N.C.
capital income. Had that been the case
all along, tuition over the last 10 years
would have been much cheaper.”

recommendation that the BOG work to
keep tuition across the state reasonably
consistent in price.
Although some schools and special
ized programs invariably cost more, the
virtue of keeping prices relatively con
sistent is that students will be able to
choose any state school without the
threat of drastic price variations
between them.
The task force’s will mail its report to
all state universities for input.
A meeting with the BOG’s Budget

early September. The full BOG will
vote in November on whether or not to
adopt it as policy.

Plans For
Seniors
In Motion^
He's Not Here will host a
senior party from 7:30 p.m.
to 2 a.m. with food catered
by the Armadillo Grill.
By DeVona A. Brown
University Editor
Wasting no time in getting their pro
jects underway, Senior Class President
Jeremy Cohen and Vice President'
Janora McDuffie are operating in high
gear for the 1998-99 school year.
“Janora and I have worked very hard
all summer for the year,” Cohen said.
“And we’ve had a table set up in the pit,
we’re having a senior class raffle, we’ve
started a freshman-senior partnership ..
It’s a nice feeling to see things we’ve
planned move from the planning stages
into implementation.”
With the help of 53 senior marshals,
McDuffie and Cohen have had tables
set up in the pit since classes began.’
Some seniors left the tables with senoir
pride stickers while many had signed up
for the freshman-senior partnership.
In their platform, McDuffie and
Cohen listed the partnership as a way to
begin new traditions for UNC seniors.
The platform said the program would
“pair enthusiastic seniors with freshmen,
as year-long mentors.”
Speaking on seniors’ participation in
the program so far, Cohen said so many
had signed up that he could not guess
the number of senior volunteers.
Despite the seeming initial success, he
said he was not sure when the mentor
ing program would officially begin.
“We’re just waiting to get as many
(volunteers and interested freshmen) as
possible before we get started.”
Expressing excitement about plans of
a senior newsletter, a senior discount
card for area businesses and senior
weeks that would focus on assisting
seniors in finding jobs after graduation,
McDuffie and Cohen said they were in
the last stages of the senior kick-off
event of the fall semester.
Cohen said the senior back-to-school
party tomorrow night at He’s Not Here
would feature a reggae band from 7:30-
p.m. until 11 p.m. and a dee-jay from 11
p.m. until 2 am. Because the party is at
a bar, only seniors 21 and older will be
able to attend. Tickets are $3 unless'
seniors buy T-shirts at the door. Then, .
the event is free.
McDuffie said the “Top Nine in ’99”
-a list of nine things seniors would do
together before graduation - was not 1
complete but would be finished soon.
“After the senior marshal retreat, we -
hope our plans for the senior year will
really get rolling.”
