Venceremos Brigade speaker
tells about Cuban experience

'UNDERCOVER CAMPAIGN':

CBS accuses White House of
attempting to discredit media

By BERNARD WELTON
"Before the revolution, there
was definite racism. The U.S. had
brought everything that wa s
American, including racism. It was
a package deal." So spoke Jac-
queline Rice concerning Afro-
Cuban racism in a speech to about
50 people in the Union last night.
Miss Rice, black Socialist Work-
er Party candidate for Congress
in the First Congressional District
in Detroit, directed her attention
to relating her experience as part

in for another tuition hike for
1970-71.
The Regents approved a 15 per
cent tuition hike in April, warning
at that time that if the size of the;

amount recommended by Milliken,

higher.
Another provision included in!
the appropriation bill requests a
new system for regulating and
equalizing tuition levels at the
various state universities, colleges
and jr. colleges.
This provision, will institute a
structured tuition system which
would require the same tuition
payments from all in-state Uni-
versity students regardless of their
program or year, for the 1971-72
academic year.

the University proposes that in-
,state students pay $21 per semes-

demic year. Presently, in-state stu-
dents pay $568 per academic year.
Out-state students would still$
pay 75 per cent of their educa-
tional costs as presently required.I
The new system, which would:
require the same tuition payments
from medical students as from un-
dergraduates, was proposed in an'
effort to equalize the tuition
charges throughout the state's
higher education institutions.
The structured tuition level pro-
posal would not go into effect un-
til the 1971-72 academic year in
order to allow University officials
and other state educational offi-
cials to discuss and make recom-
mendations on the plan..
