IMAGINE if your expenses for books went up 63 percent in two years -- what would you do? Relax, this isn't happening. The cost of health care premiums for QualChoice, the University HMO, however, has risen by 63 percent over two years. This generally doesn't affect undergraduates, since most are covered by parents' health insurance. For graduate students, however, who usually have no alternative but QualChoice, this is a major issue. While the University doesn't offer health benefits for teaching assistants, many universities do. Unless the University finds a way to help meet health care costs for graduate students, it will lose its best students.

JUST WHEN you thought you'd had enough "exploratory committees," here comes another one: Virginia Sen. Emily Couric (D-Charlottesville) has announced she is considering a run for lieutenant governor. Not this year, though: The election isn't until November 2001. It seems like jumping the gun, but she's right on time. The advent of the perpetual campaign threatens our democratic system by stifling upstart candidates and rewarding individuals with a wealthy donor base.

MOST STUDENTS don't actually pay attention to our University bills aside from the total cost. So students generally don't notice the separate $39 Student Activity Fee. As the old saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. That little fee, however, has caused major controversy that recently went all the way to the Supreme Court, and in the process threatened to stifle universities' public forums for ideas. The SAF, in funding all viewpoints, fosters discussion that strengthens the community of ideas.
