Opinions
from around the country
One of the results of last
weeks Board of Trustees meeting (at Wesleyan University)
is an increase in next years tuition. Tuition will increase

Show
respect by practicing classroom etiquette
Commentary by Emily Ward

break.

their favorite students into class even if they were a little late.
A teachers pet would always be the student chosen to run that
all-important errand that involved missing 20 minutes of boring civics
class.
