Dear Editor:
So, Wendler thinks we need a tuition hike to improve the image of our school. I think what he's really trying to say is that the poor students are bringing the school down. It must be true. I know that most of us like nothing better than getting off our second jobs and taking the Strip. We can't stay out too long though; class comes early and those of us who already have to pay through the nose for school take that kind of thing pretty seriously. Raising tuition is the perfect solution - once we take our third jobs we won't have time to get out on the Strip at all.
Is that what you want, Chancellor Wendler? Look, this is my school, too. If you're too preoccupied to appreciate all the benefits we hard-working, low-income students contribute, you'll deserve what you get: dorms full of wannabe frat-boy rowdies bent on drinking themselves stupid and getting kicked out within a year. Hey, as long as their daddies cover the extravagant tuition, who cares? With a few years of that, the world will see just how serious this University really is.
