to V Amy Will- burn, an Ohio senior whose $440 tuition increase over the last two years forced her to leave all of her West Virginia friends and to seek a less ex- pensive col- lege, the fall term started on the down- side of up- side down. FOR SUE KU- CHINSKI, a New Jersey sophomore and pre-business major, who was waitlisted num- ber 10 in Com- puter Science 5 and got the class because of an enrollment drop, the uni- versity threw open its doors on the up-side of u p - s i d e down. Some called these results ironic while others labeled them strategic moves. A few said that West Virginia University was just seeking more tuition revenue. Some liked the idea and its consequences. Some did not. Enrollment was not standing alone. A myriad of changes took hold of the University ' s students and staff. Although, for the most part, the changes raised the standards and quality of a Mountaineer ' s life, a few developed into controversial issues. Most rising actions were labeled with a pro or con sticker. These new progressive ac- tions, with an occasional twist down, trademarked our period of rising up-side down.
