Georgia students start the trek to Jacksonville on Thursday and by Friday morning the campus resembles a ghost town.

Clemson U. at U. of South Carolina, Nov. 18 -- This is one of col- lege football's oldest and grandest rival- ries. The U. of South Carolina Gamecocks and Clemson U. Tigers have met 86 times in 93 years, never missing an appointment since 1909. South Carolina took the first meeting in 1896,, but Clemson holds the overall edge, 50- 32-4. Brant Long, assistant sports editor for USC's student newspaper The Gamecock, said one USC fraternity burns a Tiger in effigy the night before the game. "The joke around here is that it doesn't matter if a USC coach goes 0-8 or 0-9, if they beat Clemson, then the coach can stay around for a couple of more years," he said.

American U. administrators say facul- ty members may be guilty of grade infla- tion following a Registrar's Office report that students have received a dispropor- tionately high number of A's and B's, and some professors say they are being pres- sured to give more low grades. Provost Milton Greenberg said, "When 70 percent or more of grades are B- or better, it looks like we have a problem. I've asked deans to look into the issue and discuss it with their faculty. We need to evaluate the way we're evaluating." Some faculty members believe the administration is pressing them to dis- tribute a higher number of low grades. Assistant Professor Terence Murphy , said, "There's a fanatical attempt to enhance the reputation of the school. The words pass down from provost to dean to faculty. They say, 'You seem to be giving too many A's, B's and C's, and not enough C-'s, D's and F's.'" However, AU President Richard officials suspect grade inflati Berendzen said the administration does not plan to require professors to allocate a certain number of low grades to their students, as such a plan would infringe upon academic freedom. Greenberg said, "We believe in aca- demic freedom and the right of profes- sors to determine grades based on their evaluations. "I'm suggesting we take a look at their evaluations and see what can be done about raising standards." Berendzen said grade inflation pri- marily hurts those students who work hard and deserve high grades. "If 70 percent of our students were on Dean's List, would it really matter? It would be like lowering the basketball hoop at Bender Arena by three feet. Even I could make a basket. "If they inflate enough, grades will be ignored by graduate schools because all of the transcripts look the same," Berendzen said. "If movie reviewers told you every sin- gle movie was the greatest, you wouldn't know what to go see." In response to the report, Associate t, Dean of Faculties Ann Ferren led a workshop on grade inflation for profes- sors in the College of Arts and Sciences. She said students want demanding classes, and emphasized they should not receive undeserved grades. "If you look at the figures, many stu- dents are calling their courses average. At a minimum we should be making our STEPHEN ROUNTREE, THE BREEZE, JAM courses challenging, so that an an A," she said.

STEVE WEWERKA, NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO, U. OF NEW MEXICO Students at the U. of New Mexico stormed the administration building last spring, occupying it for 13 days in protest of a 7.9 percent tuition hike. Showcase facilities, student demands cause tuition increases nationwide By Helen Jung The Daily Pennsylvanian U. of Pennsylvania An organization which has drawn fire for its efforts to promote white culture and oppose racism against whites plans to form a branch at the U. of Pennsylvania this year, according to the Temple U. group's president. But several campus minority leaders said the possibility of a chapter forming at U. of Penn is unlikely, and Black Student League President Melissa Moody said her group will oppose its establishment "by any means neces- sary" White Student Union President Michael Spletzer said his group visited the campus after receiving several let- ters from students interested in starting a branch at U. of Penn. Students are hes- itant to start a branch on their own, he said, because of possible negative reac- tion. The 150-member Temple group also has visited Drexel U. and area high schools to encourage students to estab- lish chapters.

By Richard Scibelli Jr. The Metropolitan Metropolitan State College Four-year universities and colleges across the country are continuing to increase tuition - surpassing the inflation rate for the ninth consecu- tive year, according to a national sur- vey. The College Board of Manhattan reported that average annual charges at public four-year schools are up 7 percent. The inflation rate for the 12- month period ending in June aver- aged 5.2 percent. Critics of the growing tuition costs accuse colleges of basing rate increas- es solely on those of competing insti- tutions. Robert B. Iosue, former vice presi- dent of Long Island U.'s C.W. Post Campus, testified before a congres- sional subcommittee on college costs that recent increases across the coun- try are due largely to reductions in faculty workloads and the construc- tion of "showcase" facilities. According to the study, increased demands for higher faculty wages and specialized faculty members have contributed to the increases. "There is a lot of money involved in obtaining quality faculty," said Metropolitan College Vice President for Business and Finance Jan Cassin. The Denver, Colo., college has retained the lowest percentage increase of all Colorado state schools, according to Cassin. It's held at 5 per- cent since the 1985-86 academic year. "The trustees intentionally held down tuition at the state colleges because of the access issue," Cassin said. She believes that high charges could significantly alter the role and mission of state-funded schools. The Manhattan study also said part of the increase is due to students' "designer demands." On many cam- puses, these include health club facil- ities, personal computers and private telephones. Cassin said she believes MSC stu- dents' willingness to do without.those "designer demands" has allowed the college to control its increases.
