Tuition Hikes!

The last couple days or even the past year has surged a riot among students here in Ellensburg and all over the country. Here at Central Washington University, students had a walkout on Friday. They also are going to field trip to Olympia to show our representatives how they are feeling about the 14% tuition increase for the following year, along with the major bills affecting college students. Though I must say I had recently read that a College in Alberta, Canada had an interesting approach to how to show their representatives how they were feeling. About 500 students decided to dress down to just their underwear or wore garbage bags to make a statement that they are too poor to buy clothes. I thought this was brilliant. While I do think that going to Olympia is important, it is crucial that others start thinking out of the box to make a larger message that students mean business.
