Hi, there0 |0 m: X9 n( s# z0 h  |

9 M/ o) O) j5 Q  S: R8 FGood news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree. / ^+ K7 S( S: ]: `: S) j; f  p

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
