Legislator Brandon White suggested that the USGA sponsor a peti-tion expressing the students' dislike of the tuition increase. Service Committee Chair Henry Lovoy said the legislature needed to push this issue and work together as a team. Legislators then turned their attention to the recent election. Acting on President Bruce Taylor's recommenda-tion, they passed an amendment to the spring budget giving a one-time salary to the election commission manager Michelle Wallace will receive $700 for coordinating this year's USGA elections The USGA constitution provides guide-lines for this payment since this office is it more difficult for UAB students to work, attend school and graduate. Now we're on the 10-year plan," Harbison "They have fought everything this university has wanted. They fought the band, they fought football. They built big fraternity houses at Tuscalooea; why can't they build some here? This is all a blatant effort to keep students from hav-ing an affordable education and to make Harbison said Trustees for its tuitionhike. The USGA resolution stated that tuition ishigher at UAB than at any other school in the state and that the resolution was unfair. Harbison said that the increase makes itdifficult for students to work their way through school. UAB faces a 6.5 percent increase, while the Tuscaloosa campus will face a 4 percent increase, he said. "We should pay the same amount unless we get treated according to what we pay," Harbison said. "I think the trustees ought to come to UAB, talk to regular students and explain the tuition and rent increases. They should come here and spend time in the buildings that bear their names, meeting the students," Stuff Writer Undergraduate Student Government Association Secretary Ralph Harbison introduced a resolution in the USGA's May 13 meeting condemning the University of Alabama System Board of By Kim Grissom Lovoy introduced a resolution expressing the need for a student infir-mary to deal withbasic health-care prob-lems. He also introduced an amendment to the spring quarter budget requesting $1,200 for a laser printer to go with the computer the USGA is purchasing. Ihe $2,400 computer is state-of-the-art, Lovoy said, and needs a good print-er. The computer and printer are being added to the Graphics Room located on the fourth floor of HillUniversitv Center An amendment to the code of laws was introduced by Taylor and Travel Grant Chair Dangale Robinson enabling the election commission to be paid each year after logging hours worked as reported by the manager. The salary amount would be determined by the president. H.5 percent of eligible voters sets the amount. Wallace said voter turnout almost doubled this year with 1,238 votes cast, 12.9 percent of all eligiblestudents. Inthe May 10-11 runoffs, 871 students voted, election manager salary of $600. Another amendment to the budget was tabled for the May 20 meeting. This amendment would give each of file six election commissioners $100 as compen-sation for workdone, especially helping to increase voter turnout.

That jumps to $117 with the addition of at UAB The Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama approved tuition and fee increases for all three campuses in the University of Alabama system at their April 28 meeting on the campus of the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The increase follows several years of tuition and fee increases at UAB, although the 1994-1995 academic year increase will be higher than the one instituted for the 1993-1994 academic year. "UABmade a decision several years ago to increase (tuition and fees) eacji year by an amount equal to increases incosts, instead of hitting the students every three or four years with a very large increase," said John Lyons, \jce-president of information management 1994-95 academic year Students in all schools at UABcan expect tuition and fee increases in the By William J.

WilliamSibley, vice president of academic affairs, said the increase for the 1994-1995 acade-mic year actually represents a raise that is somewhat greater than the increase in the inflation-ary index.

Sibley also noted the expenses involved in the new performing arts center now under construc-tion; utilities at the center will run around $400 a month, Sibley quarter, or 60.4 percent.

It is nurtured over time by the absence of morality and decency. This country's standards didn't disappear overnight. Nor willthey reappear as a result of the passage of the crime bill. MalcolmX brilliantlytaught that blacks should-n't hate whites as a result of oppression, but that they should love themselves in order to overcome it.Likewise, only if today's children are taught to Jove and be responsible will tomorrow's world overcome the void ofstandards we currently suffer through.

Singapore due to memory loss? The people of Singapore are taught more than just deterrence to crime. Drug users are removed from the streets until they are dried-out or clean.

Annually,the entire coun-try of Singapore has only a fraction of the actual crimes committed in Birmingham, even though Birmingham has only one-third the population of Singapore. Iapplaud Singapore for not collapsing their standards at the request of the leader of a Crime deserves punishment Once again, a bill (the crime bill) has passed through Congress that releases criminals from responsibility for their actions. The billdoesn't tar-get crime, it targets guns. Granted, no law-abiding citizen willbe adversely effected by not being able to buy so-called assault weapons, but neither will criminals. How effective can the legislation be? Will the government have tobuild warehouses to handle the Sudden influx ofguns turned in by criminals rush-ing to give up their weapons for the betterment of the country? The warehouses willprobably be adja-cent to centers that will offer counseling to help these criminals handle the guilt that will surely accompany their sudden change of heart. Of course, the center willalso offer a jobs training program. People, wake up. This new law blames guns for crime, not the criminal.

Legislator Henry Lovoy said he was tired of Kaleidoscope editorials "bashing" the USGA about their spending practices. Dedrick Cain suggested that the USGA should pass a resolution to remove the editor from the staff. Fortunately, the USGA has no control over Kaleidoscope, and poses no threat anyone on the staff. Itis a newspaper's job to point out problems in its community, and the USGA's spending is a big one. Rather than admit that $2,800 is an extravagant price for their self-congratulatory end-of-the-year party and voting to slash its budget, they have decided to distract attention from the issue by whining that they're being treated unfairly. These students indicated a desire to get into poli-tics, a profession known for generating a littlehe.it, by running forUSGA; but the second they catch some ,they want to fire the newspaper editor. Legislator Scott McLeod said, "Tell us how to improve instead of bashing us." Itseems to us that McLeod and the rest of the legislature should have come up with some ideas of their own before filling out intent-to-run forms. Since that hasn't happened, we'llsupply some for them. ? Start a computer lab. After we suggested this several months ago, the USGA did vote tp buy one.

A prime example of people avoiding accountability is represented in those imma-ture bumper stickers that read, "Don't blame me, Ivoted forBush." "Ivoted forBush" is easily and completely understood. However, inview of the bumper sticker, the idea seems tobe that certain peo-ple can wash their hands of responsibility for a situation their favored and defeated admin-istration played a large part increating. Ilike John D. Rockefeller IV,but he didn't even run. None the less, ifWilliamJ. Clinton mess-es up, thenIam partly responsible. Iaccept that. Ipersonally don't think he willmess up things as much as his two predecessors did, though. Our world of media is filled with dis-claimers, too. By using statements intending to implycomplete ignorance and disinterest-edness on the part of a broadcasting compa-ny, producer or publisher, the vehicle prod-uct — a television commercial, book, audio recording or newspaper column — is not anything they are responsible for.

Ben Nabors is an undergraduate educa-tion major and a long-time Kaleidoscope contributor. Freedom is a word representing ari'tdea that most Americans indicate they fully sup-port. Review the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, Wi^h its collection of amendments if there are any questions. Freedom of speech, freedom of prats and freedom of assembly are just a few wfmany provisions in those documents. For these freedoms not to be of a completely nihilistic nature, a basis or standard seems required. Quite a few people believe that forcing; their individual codes of conduct, morals and social policies on others creates bases and standards for freedom. Freedom in those cases is destroyed. . . On the other hand, the acceptance of ulti-mate freedom does not need to necessitate anarchy or an autocracy or a forced standard, but itdoes bring ultimateresponsibility tothe individual.
