The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 22, 2000- 3 Costof-cLOCAL/STATE Cost of college rises quicker than inflation By Jodie Kaufman IDaily StaflReporter The College Board released a report yester- day that the price of a college degree is con- tinuing to rise higher than the rate of inflation. A national study released by the College Board report that tuition increased from 4.4 percent to 5.2 percent this year for four-year public insti- tutions. But the University claims its tuition increase is tow'er than the national average. University spokeswoman Julie Peterson said "we're very pleased that thanks to strong state support the University has been able to keep tuition increases modest for the past few years., The University raised tuition 2.8 percent between the 1999-2000 academic year and they current 2000-01 academic year for both Michi- gan residents and non-residents, and for both the lower division and the upper divisions of under- graduate study. LSA freshmen and sophomores paid $6,333 and $19,761 for in-state and out-of-state stu- dents last year, and currently they pay $6,513 and $20,323 respectively. LSA juniors and seniors paid $7,137 for in- state tuition and $21,149 for out-of-state tuition last year. This year students pay $7,339 and $2 ,751 respectively. "I don't think there is a correlation between the number of students going to college and the cost increase," said Laura Wilcox, assistant director for public affairs at the American Council on Educa- tion. "Students now more than ever value the col- lege education. The amount of money that can be earned with a college degree is significantly higher than that of a high school diploma," she said. College Board President Gaston Caperton said in a written statement that loans account for 59 percent of all financial aid compared to about 41 percent in 1980-8 3. Funding for Pell Grants has decreased as well, but may now increase. The Pell Grant is the main source of student aid for needy students, Wilcox said. The grant has to be authorized by Congress each year, and budgets have in the past been lim- ited, Wilcox said. In l998-99 alone, the Pell Grant awarded 3.8 million students with $7.2 billion in families with an average yearly household income of S20,544, Wilcox said. Additionally, Wilcox said, $68 billion of aid is available between federal, state and institutional funding. As to why the tuition costs are rising higher than inflation, said John Cross, University asso- ciate dean for finance and planning. "Nationally institutional costs have been rising, there is no question that they have been rising faster than inflation." Cross said making changes to technology is much more cost efficient, but changing teaching mechanisms is difficult. "While technological assembly costs have gone down as people hasve invented new machines, we don't have machues to make it mtch easier to teach a large number of students, and there- fore our costs increase, as the salaries and wages.increase," Cross said. - Daily Staff Reporter Robert Gold contributed to this report. Lecture wraps up week of awareness By Natalie Plosky Daily Staff Reporter Breast Cancer Awareness Week at the University wrapped up last night with two speakers representing the clinical and personal perspectives of breast cancer at the University Stu- dents Against Cancer's monthly meet- ing in the Michigan Union. Jamie Frey, program coordinator and nurse practitioner of the Breast Care Center at the University Hospi- tals, presented a slide show atthe meet- ing demonstrating the proper breast self examination technique as well as other statistics and graphs. Frey stressed that early detection has been paramount in fighting the disease. Of those women who are diagnosed with the disease at an early stage, almost 97 percent will survive for more than five years. The death rate of cancer has declined by the largest amount in more than 65 years in the 1990s, which can largely be credited to early detection efforts. She said women over 40 years old to get mammogramsevery onetotwo years and for women over 50 to receive mam- mograms annually. She also empha- sized the importance of self exams for younger women.. Frey also dispelled a common assumption that heredity is the largest factorin developing the disease. While 5 percent to 10 percent of breast cancer cases can be attributed to genes, Frey explained that being a woman and growing older cause the rest. Deanna Beyer, an 11-year survivor of breast cancer and a nurse manager at the University Health System, is an advocate for issues of cancer survivorship. She spoke of her personal experience with the disease and some of the issues she has had to face as well as the posi- tive attitude she has gained. "Having a life threatening illness can stretch your limits," Beyer said. "it's given me the freedom to do the things I want todo andtotrust my instinctsmore. I have learned to enjoy the moment and not to sweat the small stuff." Rosalee LoChirco, cancer aware- ness co-chair for USAC, stressed the importance of awareness of disease, even among college students. "Younger women can get breast cancer," LoChirco said. "We want people to know about it so it's not a scary thing, but a controllabte thing." The University's observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Week, spon- sored by USAC, coincides with the American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the month of October. The combined fundraising efforts exceeded expectations. On "Diag Day" last year, 4,000 pink ribbons and infor- rnation packets were distributed. This year, "Diag Day," held last Wednes- day, USAC members handed out5,500 ribbons and information. JUSTIN F1T5PATRICK/1aiy LSA junior Andrea Sethi and sophomore Jocelyn Frank view an exhibit at the 14th annual Speak-Out, sponsored by Sexual Assault and Prevention Awareness Center at the Michigan Union last night. VictimRs of sexual assaults h i By Laura Deneau / Daily Staffi Reporter Megan Rohling, an LSA senior, spoke for the second time about her experience as a rape survivor at the 14th annual Speak-Out last night. She atso talked about the media attention associated with the event, her story and her photograph dis- played on the front page of a news- paper. "I've been approached by people on the street ... People knew me as someone who's been raped before they knew where I was from," Roh- ling said. Btt Rohling said she felt her pres- ence in the media was positive as it prompted people to talk openly about issues of sexual violence and created awareness. "Until we say this is wrong and it needs to stop, it won't stop," Roh- ling said. Last night survivors of sexual violence such as rape, unwanted sexual conduct and domestic vio- lence, including 16 women and one man, shared testimonies about their experiences in the dialogue hosted by the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center. More than 100 people attended. After the testimonials, spectators and individuals who gave testimony participated in healing rituals, guided by Iakamima, an oral historians soci- ety. "Our purpose was to give the "Until we say this is wrong and it needs to stop, it won't stop." -Megan Rohling LSA senior people who participated an opportu- nity to process their experiences and what they heard in a way that pro- vides emnoowerment," Jahara Mek- inney of Hakamrna said. Many people who spoke at last year's Speak-Out thanked Hakamma for providing them with a sense of closure. "Re-telling is often re-tramatiz- ing, and there is always a need for ways to re-process the energy," said Shingairai Chifanda, director of SAPAC. SAPAC expressed two majorgoals at the event: To create awareness and empower survivors. "First, we are trying to create awarness within the University com- munity and the community at large. Second, we want to provide a safe space where survivors can share their stories and be supported," said Kristen Dama, SAPAC networking, advertising and activism co-coordi- nator. October is domestic violence awarness month and an important time for many students. On the sec- ond-floor study room in the Michigan Union, SAPAC will have exhibits through Oct. 29. Many of the survivors who spoke last night made t-shirts that will be displayed along with the Silent Women's exhibit commemorating local women who lost their lives to domestic violence. The Silent Women's exhibit is composed of 12 wooden forms, face- less and painted red, that have placks on their chests informing the reader of the represented individual's name, age and story. The exhibit is part of a statewide exhibition that rotates between differ- ent Michigan universities and com- munity organizations. The Junior League of Ann Arbor has been in charge of coordinating the exhibit on campus. "Even for people who are aware of the statistic that one in four college women are victims of sexual misconduct, it can be very overwhelming when statis- tics are combined with faces," Dama said. Anyone who would like to make a T-shirt in honor of survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence can visit SAPAC's office on North University Avenue on Oct. 17 and Oct. 18.
