It's time to shake your piggy bank
a little bit harder because going to
UNC just got more expensive.
: The N.C. General Assembly has
increased UNC-system schools'
tuition for the 1989-90 academic year
20 percent for in-state students and
15 percent for out-of-state students.
A law passed near the end of the
legislative session increases yearly
tuition from $504 to $604 for in-state
students, and from $4,458 to $5,127
for out-of-state students. Students
will receive a second billing for the
increase.
The last increase in UNC-system
tuition came before the 1982-83 aca
demic year.
UNC-CH student leaders say they
'are considering protest action against
the increase, but have not decided on
a course of action. "We are vehe-

a number of ways, not just the fact
that it's gone up, but also the manner
in which it was handled and its tim

Brien Lewis.
UNC-system President CD.
Spangler said he opposed the increase
of in-state tuition. "If the tuition
increases continue to be double in
size, that action will change the con
stitution of the University in ways
that would limit access of all people,
and I hope that would not be the
case."
The UNC Board of Governors had
recommended an 8.5 percent tuition
increase for each of the next two
years for out-of-state students and no
tuition increase for in-state students.

The inquiry primarily focused on
reported academic abuses within the
basketball program.
"The evidence is clear that the aca

N.C. State University have been mis
used in a number of instances to the
benefit of some individual basketball
players," Spangler said.
Although there were no direct
NCAA academic violations, Spangler
said the system had been misused.

Abuses were found in the areas of

UNC in a financial crunch last

The University has not replied to
allegations of racial and sexual dis-.
crimination in its admissions policies
by a Winston-Salem man whose
daughter was denied admission.
Don Hall claims his daughter is a
victim of admissions standards that
favor "male, black athletes." The law
suit also alleges that University poli
cies unfairly favor out-of-state stu
dents, children of alumni and children
of employees. .
Hall claims his daughter meets the
academic standards of athletes who
are admitted to the University. He
filed suit against the University on
July 20, but the Attorney General's
office, which represents the
University in legal matters, has not
yet filed a reply. Hall demanded that

seasons, and at the end of the period
