uts slice SMSU by Missy Pierce his year students, faculty, staff and administration were forced to Zero In On their own resources due to statewide budget cuts. The cuts demanded that departments and groups campus wide tighten their belts and stretch available dollars to meet increasing costs. Tuition fee increases totaled S120 over last year's S420. The 29 percent increase was the highest in the history of SMSU and a substantial amount higher than the increase of 16 percent on the national average. President Duane Meyer explained the increase in fees as an alternative to a cut in the quality of SMSU education. Meyer also announced another fee increase for the next year. About one-third of the students attending SMSU were recipients of financial aid from scholarships, loans, athletic grants or other financial aid options, Todd Morriss, director of financial aids, said. Therefore, many students were directly affected by cuts in student aid programs. Jean Bornholdt, a junior from St. Louis, said, When the budget was cut I was affected severely, because I had work study for the last two years. Once it got cut I was forced to get a loan and seek a job off campus, which wasn't easy. I personally felt the cuts in student loansf' junior from St. Louis, Lisa Wolf said. Wolf is a social work major and said that President Reagan has cut about 40 percent of the budgets in the social work field. cont. on pg. 5 IABOVE RIGHTQ SPRAWLED ON THE SIDEWALK in front of Hill Hall may not be ideal for studying, but a test is a test.
