Page 2 111 AND HELP US As the new academic year begins here at Capitol Campus, we, the members of THE CAPITOLIST staff, welcome all new and returning students and offer our best wishes for a challenging and fun-filled year. Soon to start its fourth year of publication, THE CAPITOLIST has existed as a means of communication for the entire college community. Although the primary concern of THE CAPITOLIST has been to bring the student body the news, it also serves as an important center of publicity of social and academic functions both on and off campus. This year THE CAPITOLIST will be offering something new in the way of advertising. Free classified ads will be available to anyone belonging to the college community. Charges will still be made for advertising on the part of local-businesses as a means of covering the costs of printing. All articles and advertisements that qualify for printing will be gratefialy accepted. All letters to the editor will he printed uncensored and uncut - however, only signed letters will be accepted. In trying to improve upon past publications, THE CAPITOLIST will, this year, be offering such new features as faculty and student opinion columns, expanded sports coverage, club and organizational columns and a weekly calendar of social events. One of the most urgent needs of THE CAPITOLIST this year will be for new staff members. Help is needed in every facet of producing the publication. We need people with ideas and some dedication to help gather and rewrite news which may come into our office. Photographers, cartoonists and feature writers are also needed to help make THE CAPITOLIST a success. In general, anyone who is anxious to work, in any capacity, for the paper is invited to join us. We of the editorial staff of THE CAPITOLIST are interested in producing a top notch publication for the benefit of everyone but we can't achieve that goal without the help of others. If you want to help, contact either Bob Bonaker or Mike Welliver, 826-B Nelson Dr., Meade Heights, or come see us at our office, W-104, Main Building, phone 787-1663. You'll be glad you did.

"The trustees greatly regret the necessity to increase costs to students and their parents, especially in the knowledge that many students come from low and middle income families," President Oswald said. "The increase in tuition arises from higher costs involved in all phases of the University's operations. "I am a strong advocate of low tuition public higher education in a free society," President Oswald continued. ,"However, I am aware of a conviction of many persons in these financially difficult times that students and their parents must bear a higher percentage of the cost of their education. Every effort will be made to provide necessary financial aid for students needing such assistance in connection with the increased tuition." No State funds are used in the residence hall and food service operations. The charges there reflect the full cost of the operation, including building amortization.
