Tuition, financial aid, enrollment grow in new state budget By Karl Schweizer campus government editor Western students will see higher tuitions, more enrollments, and a leaner university budget starting fall of this year. They will also see higher state financial aid. Al Froderberg, the Vice-President for External Affairs, said resident undergraduates will pay $ 1,971 for tuition next year under the state budget that passed the S enate and House of Representatives last week. They will pay $2,256 in 1994-95, he said. This year undergraduates paid $1,785 in tuition. Froderberg said students were being asked to pay a greater percentage of the cost of then-educations. Student tuition pays 25 percent of the cost now, but it will cover 27.7 percent of the cost beginning this fall and 31.5 percent fall 1994. Froderberg beamed about the higher financial aid, however. The legislature put $55 million into the state need grant program — enough to fully fund everyone who is eligible for a grant, he said. "Financial aid is going to be terrific. The state need grant is going to more than double. That's the flip side of the increase in tuition," he said. Slightly more than half of the tuition increases will pay for financial aid, Froderberg said. Next year, a student from a family of four with an income of $27,000 will be eligible for up to $1,050 in state grant money, according to an estimate provided to The WesternFront by Kathleen Sahlhoff, director of Student Financial Resources. But Sahlhoff said her numbers would be estimates until she gets exact figures at a Higher Education Board conference this week. The legislature also increased enrollments at Western. Western now has 9,001 full-time-equivalent (FTE) students, Froderberg said. This fall it will have 9,216 FTEs, and 9,360 in fall of 1994, he said. The cut to Western's budget will amount to a 7-percent cut when hidden items are figured in, Froderberg said. One such item is the state's refusal to pay for utility inflation, he said. AS candidate cut from runoff By Karl Schweizer campus government editor Ken Wood has been disquali- ^ fied from participating in the Associated Students presidency runoff. AS President Erin Middlewood disqualified him after he failed to comply with an AS Board order that he remove his Campaign signs. The disqualification means that I James Walsh, last week's third place candidate, will face frontrunner Keith Boyd in Wednesday's runoff election. The board forbade Wood from campaigning for the Wednesday I election after finding him in violation of the AS election codeon May 10. It gave him four hours to remove his campaign signs. Wood said in a telephone interview that he had already scheduled his after- * noon, and he didn't have time to get a ladder and remove them. Wood was accused of campaigning within 25 feet of a polling place during last week's election. Election Board Chair Tiffany \ Gerrish filed a complaint stating she saw him at the Miller Hail polling station at 9:15 a.m. .May 5. And Jennifer Howenstine, a worker at the Legal Information Center, said in a separate complaint she saw Wood close to the Arntzen Hall station at 10:53 a.m. the same day. The Election Board deadlocked last Friday on Gerrish's and Howenstine'scomplaints. Although Gerrish, as Election Board Chair, voted in favor of her own complaint as well as Howenstine's, the final vote on both complaints was 2-2. But Gerrish and Howenstine appealed, so their complaints went before the AS Board Monday. Wood admitted he had been within 25 feet of the Miller and Arntzen Hall polling stations. He said he had spoken with a friend who owed him money at the first location and that he'd been talking with his girlfriend on the the way to his class near the second location. He said he had read the election code and didn't think talking to his friends constituted "campaigning." "I don't think standing near a polling place for three minutes is going to affect the outcome of the campaign," Wood said. ^iiiilipliiiililil K^miMI Photo by CassaMr^ Burdsal ^fll$|a f rafft majors, got frosted at Saturday's Kappa Kamival. The code states "On election days, there shall be no campaigning, candidate signs, or campaign literature within 25 feet of any polling station." But AS board member Jennifer Kang said Wood should have known that his presence near the Arntzen station constituted campaigning because Gerrish had warned him an hour before to stay away from the Miller Hall station. The AS board voted only on Howenstine's appeal. It refused to hear Gerrish's complaint because she had filed it more than 24 hours after the incident. Kate Debelack, the vice-chair of the Election Board, accused Gerrish of altering the date on the complaint after getting her to sign it. Debelack said in a letter to the AS Board that she signed the complaint form for Gerrish at4 p.m. on May 6, 31 hours after the incident. Her letter stated Gerrish then altered the date to read 9 p.m. on May 5 —12 hours after the incident. After Debelack presented her letter to the AS board, she resigned from the Election Board. Gerrish said she had written the complaint before the 24 hour deadl ine, but couldn 't find another election board member to sign it. She said she thought it would look bad to sign her own complaint. But Debelack angrily denied Gerrish's explanation. Debelack said she had been with Gerrish the entire day of May 5. She said Gerrish had several hours worth of opportunities to ask her to sign See ELECTION, page 3 Presidential candidate talks about fundraising experience Photo by Todd McGee Melvyn Schiavelli and wife, Jean. By Todd McGee staff reorter Melvyn Schiavelli, provost of the College of William and Mary, answered questions Monday from students, staff and faculty aboutwhathewoulddoas Western's president. Schiavelli is from Williamsburg, Va. and is the firstof three candidates toaddress questions and concerns of those affiliated with Western. The forum is a required part of the hiring process and gives the community an opportunity to participate. Schiavelli's humor and thorough approach to answering questions made him appear comfortable and relaxed throughout the forum. "If you plugged in the College of William and Mary's mission statement to Western's, you'd have to do very little editing," said Schiavelli. His visions for undergraduate education are: •To serve students better on arrival having more classes taught by senior faculty members. •Create a faculty that cares about students, and has concerns outside of the classroom. He wants to develop a faculty-mentor program. •Implement an academic-advising and career-planning program. •Change the contents of the core curriculum every decade. •To put an emphasis on oral and written communication skills, critical thinking and See SCHIAVELLI, page 2
