Satly (Ear Uppl N.C. State University Chancellor Marye Anne Fox announces she will also seek a tuition increase to fund student services. The N.C. State BOT approves the increase. November 1999 BOG Proposal Sits Well With Trustees at UNC Bv Alexandra Molaire Assistant University Editor Board of Trustees members said the Board of Governor’s Friday decision to raise tuition was a step in the right direc tion, but some say the S6OO increase is not enough to keep UNC-Chapel Hill competitive. The BOG voted Friday to increase tuition at UNC-CH and N.C. State University by S6OO during the next two years to boost faculty salaries. The pro posed tuition increase will now go to the N.C. General Assembly for approval. In October, the BOT recommended a tuition increase of $1,500 over the next five years. The BOG tuition plan represents the first two years of the BOT proposal. Anne Cates, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said the trustees were appreciative of the BOG’s vote to raise tuition. “We hope that by supplementing tuition for the legislature for the next two years, that they will want to push for educational funds when they are bet ter able to,” she said. “We’re trying to motivate the leg islature to assume the role of paying for education.” Cates said the BOT's October recommendation was only to supple- “It’s a first step, but it doesn’t get us to where we want to be to get our faculty compensated. ” Billy Armfield Board of Trustees Member ment the funds that the legislature was unable to provide. “We want the best for you (students) and for your education,” she said. “We stand ready with the 16 other schools in the system to rally the legislature in the future.” Trustee Billy Armfield said he was pleased with the BOG vote because it kept the University competitive with other schools. “(I’m) very pleased cut and save!! >■*->. ftey ca*out' you can earn sss and contribute Are You* to the future of medicine.

The Board of Governors hosts a two-hour systemwide forum to hear student concerns about the increase. December 1999 because it enables us to provide more financial aid,” he said. “It keeps our tuition well below our peer institu tions.” Armfield said the vote was a meaningful step on the road toward competi tive faculty salaries. But he said the increase was not enough. “It’s a Board of Trustees Chairwoman Anne Cates said she appreciated the BOG's vote to raise tuition. first step, but it doesn’t get us to where we want to be to get our faculty com pensated,” he said. Armfield also said he did not under stand the student protests surrounding the increase. “No student on financial aid will be impacted by the tuition increase,” he said. “All students will ben efit from retaining our good faculty.” Trustee Stick Williams said the vote showed that the BOG recog nized the BOT’s intent to increase faculty salaries and protect accessibili ty to UNC. He said that when BOT mem bers met in October, they mandated that 35 percent of the increase go toward grant-based financial aid. “By voting for two years of increases, the BOG is allowing us to address the faculty salary gap and also set aside money for financial aid.” Will Foushee contributed to this story.

January 2000 Vote Draws 6 Presidential Contenders Five of the six student body president candidates say there is still hope to defeat the tuition proposal. By Kim Minlgh Assistant University Editor Student body presidential candidates made an important stop on the cam paign trail Friday as the Board of Governors made their final decision about a controversial tuition increase. And while the high-profile, media soaked meeting could be seen as fertile political ground, the candidates said they too felt the frustration of the approved S6OO increase. Erica Smiley, who has been a visible crusader against the tuition increase since last summer, hoisted a banner high in the air and in sight of the board. After the vote, she was in the media spotlight as she joined other protesters outside. “I’m going to stick to my guns,” she said. “This thing can’t die with the deci sion of the BOG. It can’t die when the semester ends. The difference between here and Raleigh is we have electoral power over our representatives. If (they) won’t fund our education we’re going to put someone in power who will.” Brad Matthews also quietly held a sign in the room and attended the press conference. “It was encouraging to see such a strong student turnout and to see a lot of support on the board itself.” He said the numbers could be pared down even more at the General Assembly. “The (Board members) who supported (us) are well-respected and very influential citizens in this state.” Though he assumed a prominent role in the display of protest outside, he said he was driven by student interest. “I was doing my part as a student to make sure our voice was heard.” Matt Martin, who missed the vote because of class, said he was heartened Broad decides to delay action on the capital fee portion of her recommenda tion, pending consultation with the N.C.

February 2000 by the 11 votes against the proposal. “I hope to use the dissenting opin ions to talk to the General Assembly,” he said. “I’m disappointed but glad to see there were 11 governors willing to stand up for students.” He said convincing the officials in Raleigh to protect students’ wallets would take more than student opposi tion, it would take communication. “It’s not just a strong student presence show ing up with signs, but talking to the leg islators.” Joshua Ray said he and candidate Preston Smith swept the campus in the morning to gather student support. Although he was disappointed by a small student turnout, he said the fight still had potential. “We went out to gamer student sup port. We tried to cram as much support in that room as we could,” he said. Ray said the fight wasn’t over. “It doesn’t stop there. If we can get our stu dent body together with other schools then (the legislators) will listen. We need to keep pushing the issue. Nothing’s ever final.” Smith said that although he was dis appointed by the vote, he was not sur prised. He said students must now turn their attention to preparation. “We have to start dedicating ourselves to a long term solution.” BRAKES 50% OFF Pads and Shoes EXPIRES 5/15/00 EXHAUST S2O OFF any exhaust that consists of muffler & tailpipe EXPIRES 5/15/00 c ]N(ommaticms Q^equestecf For Chancellor’s Undergraduate Awards For Excellence in Student Activities & Leadership Nominations are encouraged from all members of the University Community Senior Awards Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award Irene F.
