ASA: ÎIt is vital' students attend Town Hall on tuition

The future of our university is to be decided in the upcoming months. Just two weeks ago, President Likins presented the Arizona Board of Regents with three possible tuition models that would be implemented next fall. The highest model places a $1,000 tuition increase for in-state undergraduates and $1,250 for graduates.

Furthermore, out-of-state tuition for undergraduates would increase $1,250 and $1,500 for graduate students. These models are not set, but before the January Arizona Board of Regents meeting, Dr. Likins will propose his final plan for tuition and financial aid for our university. [Read article]

Reports have surfaced that the UN team in Iraq may not be doing its job. Just a couple of days ago, it was revealed that one of the 100 inspectors conducting these supposedly rigorous inspections is involved in an S&M club back home.

What's disturbing here is that he had the audacity to keep his sex life private. When you become an agent of an international body with the duty of fulfilling a completely technical, myopic task under the scrutiny of 99 other people with complete oversight capability, nothing is private.
