ASMSU's elections last week drew a record number of voters to the polls. About 4,900 students voted on MSU's undergraduate student government tax referendum. About 1,400 students cast ballots in 2002. A bill to increase the undergraduate student government's base tax by 75 cents was approved by 937 votes. ASMSU officials said they are excited the initiative was well-received by students. "They think we're doing a good job," said Missy Kushlak, Student Assembly vice-chairperson for internal affairs. The increase will mainly go toward a scholarship endowment which would assist students who can't afford to attend MSU because of a possible increase in tuition. The remainder of the money will be distributed to various groups within the organization. Students also approved the renewal of the Residence Halls Association's $21 tax and a $3 tax for the Impact WDBM (88.9-FM) student radio. But the result of the $5 Eco tax initiative, which would pay for renewable energy sources for University Farms, has not been disclosed because the required number of voters is still in question. When a new fee is introduced by student governments, such as the case of the $5 tax, university rules require more than 50 percent of undergraduate students to vote on the issue.

TJ Jourian wrote Monday we live in a "system that forces college students to resort to joining the army just so they can pay their tuition," after a protest stop took her by Demonstration Hall, home of the Army ROTC program ("Inconveniences caused by protesters minor in context" SN 3/24). As a senior and a fourth-year cadet in MSU's Army ROTC program, I am forced to disagree with Jourian. First of all, I would like Jourian to know not all of the cadets enrolled in our battalion are on scholarship.
