The Ifear at Crei ton Coupled with reduced financial aid was an eight percent increase in tuition and room and board. This hike raised medical school tuition to nearly $10,800 and undergraduate tuition to almost $5,200 yearly. While Creighton still ranked as one of the lowest-cost private Jesuit schools in the coun- try, the combination of less aid and higher tui- tion could have a detrimental effect on the enrollment at Creighton and other private in- stitutions. According to Morrison, the increase was needed to maintain the high quality of educa- tion and standard of excellence. He said that to excel, increased tuition costs were inevitable although Creighton tried to keep increases moderate. Other events also stirred concern among the Creighton community. The university waited impatiently as the Omaha Police Department engaged in a week-long search for senior Arts student Karen Hart, who was reported missing one evening after leaving school. The only trace of her disappearnace was her abandoned truck found at 17th and St. Mary ' s Ave. Almost a week later, Hart was located in Boulder, Colo., and was escorted back tO; Omaha where she relayed her experience. Hart said she was abducted from Omaha and driven to Colorado by two unidentified men. Hart was not harmed in any way, nor was a motive or suspects identified. Vandalism and destruction also victimized other Creighton students. The newly built coach house of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity became the target for a smoke grenade that set Two big winners in ' 84- ' 85; C.U. fans camped out in Lincoln for a weekend to get tickedts for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band; They also gave Ronald Reagan a rousing vote of approval in the ' 84 election. 20

Fortunately, the fire Ws discovered soon enough for the students to escape with minor smoke inhalation. Arson was suspected, but no motives or suspects were identified. j The year also included a nationwide effort ' to cut down on drunken driving by raising the legal drinking age to 21 in all states. Those states refusing to comply would be confronted with sacrificing all federal highway assistance. In Nebraska, the new 21-year-old drinking law became effective in January. At Creighton this meant an adjustment in most university or Student Board of Governors events so as not to exclude the majority of underage drinking students and to maintain a tighter control over those events that did include alcohol. In response to the nationwide controversial issue of alcohol, the Creightonian featured a three- part series on drug abuse during the spring. Also within the boundaries of Creighton ' s campus more subtle trends were established. Students indulged in several new experiences that satisfied many hungry appetites. The introduction of popcorn on campuus not only became a favorite snack, but for some became a new entree on the lunch menu. Students, faculty and staff were reported to consume more than 630 pounds of popped corn daily. Just when Dominos Pizza with free delivery had nearly saturated Creighton ' s late night piz- za patrons, The Wild Pizza made its debut on Above: Arson was the suspected cause of the fire that totalled the Pike Coach House. 21
