"We look forward to having the tra-

roff, a Clemson senior and co-chair of
the rally's organizing committee, in a
statement released by the University.
'U' ON NOTICE
College officials have voiced con-
cern about a clause in the Higher Edu-
cation Act, up for reauthorization in
Congress, that would create a "watch
list" of colleges that have instituted
above-average tuition increases.
They say circumstances beyond
their control often lead to the increas-
es. The University of Michigan, for
instance, has raised tuition in response
to declining state funding.
Other measures have been proposed
to curb the risingcost ofrcollege tuition.
Rep. Michael Castle (R-Del) proposed
an amendment that would cut federal
funding for student aid to colleges that
don't reverse their tuition increases,
Inside Higher Ed reported.
