Memorial Honors
Dental Researcher
Speakers related personal
memories of dental fellow
Fusayoshi Matsukawa at
a memorial service Friday.
By Arman Anvari
Staff Writer
More than 100 family members,
friends and colleagues crowded the John
M. Reeves All Faiths Chapel at UNC
Hospitals on Friday to pay final respects
to Fusayoshi Matsukawa.
Nicknamed “Yoshi,” the UNC
Dental Fellow died Nov. 6 from signifi
cant head injuries after being hit by a car
Thursday on Manning Drive.
The memorial began with a non
denominational Christian service and
finished with sev
eral speakers giv
ing their personal
recollections of
Matsukawa’s life
and accomplish
ments. “It was a
brief but very good
sendee,” said
Professor Mitsuo
Yamauchi of the
Dental Research
“Before his death, there was a
very sad feeling around the ...
school because we knew his
accident was very serious. ”

Center. “Each speaker spoke from his
own point of view about Yoshi’s life.”
School of Dentistry Dean John
Stamm spoke first during the memorial
service, focusing on Matsukawa’s
accomplishments as a scholar and his
relationship with others at UNC.
“I focused on the idea that although
Yoshi was at the beginning of his career,
in a sense none of us ever finish our
work,” Stamm said. “I also tried to
emphasize to the family that Yoshi obvi
ously had a real gift for touching people
and making friends and that was reflect
ed by the phenomenal attendance at this
service.
“Not onlv am 1 talking about the
largeness of the audience but also the
diversity of the people there. They were
from all sorts of countries, backgrounds,
young and old. That struck me very

much, and I’m sure it struck the family
even more deeply.”
Most of the service was conducted in
Japanese, including the scripture read
ings and hymns that were sung.
While most of the attendees were
Japanese friends and family of
Matsukawa’s, many of his colleagues
from the dental school attended to pay
their respects.
“Before his death, there was a very
sad feeling around the whole dental
school because we knew his accident
was very serious,” said Cynthia Suggs,
histology technician. “When we came
back to work Monday, word was out
that he had died. It was expected
because of the severity of his accident,
but we were still saddened.”
In the wake of Matsukawa’s death,
many who attended the service contin-
ued to reflect on
his character and
kindness.
“(Yoshi) was
generous and
kind,” Suggs said.
“He went back to
Japan in May, and
when he came
back he had a little
gift for me. It was
not necessary, but
it was just a kind thing to do.
Stamm said the service was compli
cated by the large foreign audience pre
sent and by the fact that many attendees
had to fly in from other countries to pay
their respects. But he said it was handled
well by organizers.
“The service was 80 percentjapanese
and 20 percent English, but it was very
dignified,” he said. “I think it made the
family, especially the young widow,
Yumi Matsukawa, feel better to see what
kind of service was held to honor his
memory.
“I’ve never been prouder of UNC-
Chapel Hill. It was a wonderful service,
and in an amazing way it responded to
the needs of a grieving family.”

ASG Bill Seeks to Deter
Future Tuition Hikes
The UNC Association of
Student Governments said
raising tuition would
restrict access to education.
By Jonathan Moseley
Staff Writer
GREENSBORO - Delegates repre
senting nearly every UNC-system
school passed a resolution Saturday that
discourages tuition increases at state
supported universities.
The statement was in response to
recent student-opposed proposals to
raise tuition at UNC-Chapel Hill and
N.C. State University.
UNC Association of Student
Governments delegates said the moves
magnified differences between the two
research universities and the rest of the 1
system, making the schools less accessi
ble.
“This problem (of tuition increases) is
something that is going to be discussed
at every (UNC) campus,” said ASG
President Jeff Nieman.
The Legislative Affairs Committee
hashed out the details of a bill express
ing disagreement with the recent deci
sion made to raise tuition at UNC-CH,
N.C. State and all other state universi
ties.
The resolution came on the heels of a
UNC-CH Board of Trustees proposal to
raise tuition $1,500 for all students at the
University, primarily to increase facul
ty salaries.
N.C. State officials followed suit last
week with discussions to raise tuition for
their students to improve student ser
vices on campus.
The committee agreed without
debate that tuition increases would be
harmful to students and widen the gap
between wealthy and low-income stu
dents.

“We have counties in this state that,
do not have a single student at Chapel
Hill simply because they’re poorer,”,
said UNC-CH Student Congress
Speaker Mark Kleinschmidt.
“We cannot have that.”
After more than an hour of commit*
tee deliberation and deliberation, the
finished proposal was presented to the.
entire ASG delegation.
The resolution stated, “Under this
proposed tuition increase, the total cost
of attendance at UNC-CH would be
about $13,000, almost twice that of a sis
ter university within the University of
North Carolina (system) ...
“It would not be in the best interest of
North Carolina for its residents to select
an institution based on cost, rather than'
After the unanimous vote in favor of
the resolution, N.C. State Student Body
President Raj Merchandani addressed
the ASG.
“We really believe (the bill) was
important to pass today,” he said.
“It has the potential to affect thou
sands of students.”
The ASG plans to send its resolution'
to every student body president in the
UNC system Monday.
They hope the move will encourage
student leaders across the system to fight
the tuition increase proposals.
The discussion ended in hopeful
anticipation of affecting the final UNC
tuition decision.
Nieman said the Legislative
Committee planned to further develop'
its resolution before presenting it at the
UNC Board of Governors meeting in
February.
There, the BOG will finalize its rec j
ommendations for addressing low fac
ulty salaries, which it will submit to the’
N.C. General Assembly in May.
