NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 7A WOLV-TV Continued from page 1A an aerobics program. Ho said students should expect all new entertainment programming this year as well. "We're essentially starting everything from scratch," Ho said. Another aspect of the new format, which began this semester, is WOLV's new partnership with the Residential Computing office. Rescomp provides technical expertise in repairing the station's older equipment and in assessing requests for new equip- ment, according to Rescomp director Jeff Wright. Ho estimated that the station had spent about $25,000 on updated equipment so far. The new equipment has given WOLV greater ability to broad- cast graphics, offsite reporting and weather reports, he said. Because WOLV has alumni at MTV, CNBC and other broadcast outlets, the station hopes to tap these resources and others as it continues to improve. Communications Prof. Anthony Collings, a new advisor for the station this semester, is a professional resource already present at the University. Collings, a former print journalist who wrote for Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal, won an Emmy for his work as a CNN correspondent before joining the faculty of the communications department. Ho said WOLV remains student-run and has full editorial freedom, but Collings brings his years of experience to the station by editing scripts, advising on broadcast techniques and generally making him- self available to answer students' questions. HOURS Continued from page 1A Tuesday headed to the Art, Architecture, and Engineering Library on North Campus, which maintained its normal hours throughout the break. "I knew that they were closing early during the break, so my group decided to meet in the (Duder- the michigan daily "Prof. Collings is a huge resource, both in terms of his experience and his contacts in the field," Ho said. For his part, Collings said he is confident about the improvements in the station. "The more the news program connects with stu- dents and their interests, the more effective it will be in attracting more viewers," he said in an e-mail message. Collings also suggested that some criticism of the station may be unfounded. "The station was in good shape, but there was room for improvement, and the students were very dedicated to upgrading the quality," Collings said, referring to the state of WOLV before he began advising it. WOLV was founded in 1994, one year after cable television was installed in University residence halls. It had little content at first, covering mostly University sporting events - especially hockey. The remaining time was filled by Infochannel, a University Housing-sponsored service that broad- casts various University announcements and infor- mation in a Powerpoint-style format. In 1996, the station constructed a studio in South Quadrangle Residence Hall and began airing student-produced news and entertainment programs. Since then, WOLV has kept its focus on local, student-based programming. WOLV can be seen on Channel 70 of the Uni- versity residence hall cable system. "Newsfeed," the station's nightly news program, also appears on Channel 22 of Ann Arbor's Comcast Cable system. stadt Center, where the library is housed), and so the reduced hours didn't affect us much," said Engineer- ing sophomore Robert Havey. LSA freshman Zach Liporace was among those unaffected by the reduced hours. "I was out of town during the break, and so the reduced hours did not have much of an effect on me," Liporace said. DIAG DAY Continued from page 1A who we are, what we're about." MSA has been doing more than booking concerts lately. The CHANGE program - con- sisting of inter-group dialogues, service oppor- tunities and collaborations with the NAACP and other national groups - and a joint com- mittee with City Council are two of its recent projects. "CHANGE is really big," Levine said. "The point is to change the culture of this place." The ongoing program, Levine said, is designed to help students have a greater understanding of where other people are coming from. The joint committee with City Council, which the Council approved on Monday, was a major achievement for MSA, which will have the power to appoint the five student mem- bers. The idea for the committee came from second-ward City Council candidate Stephen Rapundalo, a Democrat, after several months of public criticism of City Council by Levine and other MSA representatives, who accused the Council of failing to seek student input on city policy. The committee will "institutionalize commu- nication between students and Council members," according to the MSA's 2005-06 agenda. Diag Day also served as an opportunity for MSA to inform students of their rights and responsibilities regarding alcohol, a personal issue for Levine, whose friend was threatened with arrest when he went to the University Hos- pital for alcohol poisoning. "I don't want students to be afraid to go to the hospital. This is echoed by the police and echoed by the University administration," Levine said. To inform students on the issue, MSA repre- sentatives handed out packets with information on their rights and responsibilities regard- ing alcohol. They also played root beer pong throughout Diag Day as a way to draw atten- tion to the event as a whole and alcohol issues in particular. Diag Day's major selling point was the recently announced Ludacris concert, to be held in Hill Auditorium on Nov. 3. There are still about 1,500 tickets available for the show, and Levine said he encouraged students to pur- chase them before they go on sale to the general public on Oct. 25. MSA held the event to get information about student government out to students, and it appeared to work. "A lot of people have come by and picked up flyers," Stallings said. When asked why he stopped by, LSA junior Doug Emeott said, "I saw they were trying to get word out. I was kind of interested in the first place. I was interested in knowing more." TUITION Continued from page 1A $7,100, coming in higher than the national average, as well as than Colorado's $4,260 and Kentucky's $4,880. Across the nation, tuition and fees rose 7 per- cent to an average of $5,491 at four-year public institutions. The national increase is lower than the 10 percent rise in 2004-2005 and the 13 per- cent rise for 2003-2004. It remains above the rate of inflation. Michigan's 12 percent increase follow two years of state increases falling below the national aver- age, said Dan Hurley, spokesman for the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan. Hurley said the study found that the largest increases happen when state funding is cut. "The state has cut its appropriation by $200 million over four years and enrollment has grown by 10,000 students," he said. Nationally, prices at two-year public colleges, which educate nearly half of American college stu- dents, rose 5.4 percent to $2,191. At four-year private, nonprofit colleges, costs rose 5.9 percent to $21,235. The results come as Congress is negotiating a new version of the Higher Education Act, which would set federal financial aid policy for the com- ing years. A House version passed last month increases some grants, but critics say it would harm borrowers by cutting $9 billion from student loan programs. College Board officials and university presidents devoted, much of a news conference announcing the results to concerns over college access for poor students, who - even if they have high test scores - earn college degrees at significantly lower rates than rich students. They also criticized the prolif- eration of popular state programs that award col- lege grants based on merit, not need. "Basically, they are subsidizing the education of middle- and upper-income families," said Wil- liam Kirwan, chancellor of Maryland's university system, citing as an example the Georgia Hope Scholarship program, which covers'tuition and fees ata Georgia public university to any student with a B average. While state spending on need-based aid has increased, merit-based aid has grown faster in recent years, College Board and university officials noted. Merit aid went from 10 per- cent of all state aid- in 1993 to 26 percent by 2003, the most recent year for which figures are available. Including charges for room and board, published costs at public four-year schools rose 6.6 percent to an average of $11,376.
