If the rising cost of college can be compared to war, then at least one battle line runs through the kitchen of a ranch house in central Iowa and Ashley Stockdale is among the wounded. It was here last winter in Iowa Falls (population 5,200), after three months of anxious conversation around the kitchen table, that Ashley surrendered, deferring her long-held dream of attending the University of Iowa. The reason? One word: money.
First-year student Ashley Stockdale on the campus of Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa far from the states flagship university, where she had hoped to enroll.
It would be thrilling to report that Ashleys decision to pursue a college education was rooted fully in her desire for a lifetime of learning. In truth, personal and intellectual growth was just a part of it. Ashley is 18 and, like many 18-year-olds, she viewed college as a means of escape, in this instance from Iowa Falls and nearby Alden (population 877), the towns where she has lived since she was a toddler.
After graduating from Iowa Falls-Alden High School last fall, Ashley wanted nothing more than to go to school in a place where everybody didnt know her name.
And she knew exactly where she wanted to do it: among the 28,000 students on the UI campus at Iowa City, 135 miles southeast of Iowa Falls.
A field trip during her sophomore year convinced Ashley that her educational future was in Iowa City. The following year she identified the dormitory where she hoped to live, singling out Hillcrest Hall for its fitness center, a reputation for above-average dining hall food and a location an acceptable distance from the main campus. Its the only school she ever talked about, said Ashleys mother, Crystal.
Last August, shortly before the start of her senior year, Ashley sent her application, along with a $50 filing fee and a $75 housing registration fee, to UI. The thick envelope signaling her acceptance arrived in November, along with a financial aid statement.
Tuition, room, board, books and other living expenses the university informed her would total approximately $15,000 per year. The financial aid package would cover tuition and fees, but UI left it up to Ashley to come up with the rest about $6,650. The amenity that Ashley had her heart set on a room in Hillcrest Hall turned out to be the tipping point. I didnt take the housing into consideration, she said.
And so the battle began. Concerned that her daughter might incur thousands of dollars in student loan debt, Crystal Stockdale, a single mom, pushed Ashley to stay home and save money by attending nearby Ellsworth Community College. Ashley balked. More bad news came when the federal government denied Ashleys application for a Pell Grant. The $7,000 Ashley had earned the previous year as a part-time waitress, combined with Crystals $39,000 salary as a nursing home administrator, pushed the familys household income above the U.S. Department of Educations ever-fluctuating eligibility standards. A family income of $46,000 may not go far in Americas population centers, but in central Iowa, it places a family squarely in the middle class.
Ashley capitulated at the end of January. Disappointed and discouraged, she didnt tell her mother or anyone else when she submitted an application to Ellsworth. The grants and scholarships awarded by the community college will help cover the bulk of the $4,400 shell spend on tuition and fees during the next school year.
As Ashley moved through graduation and into the summer, her disappointment peaked.
All that talk about going to Iowa, and then I wasnt going there anymore, she said. It really sucked telling people. And now my friends who are going to UI are starting to get ready, theyre finding out where they are going to live, who their roommates will be, signing up for classes. That makes it really bad.
While many of her classmates pursue the dream she has deferred, Ashley is pricing used cars for the daily commute to Ellsworth from the apartment she has just leased in Iowa Falls. (Crystal, herself a recent college graduate, is starting a new job and is moving with her younger daughter, Haley, to a new home about an hour away.)
Although shell be responsible for monthly car payments and rent, Ashley is determined to save enough money to transfer from Ellsworth to UI next year. She began classes as an undeclared major in late August with no illusions about why her higher education began in Iowa Falls instead of Iowa City.
Its all about cost, she said.
As higher education expert David L. Kirp pointed out, it used to be about something entirely different. We have an increasingly stratified education system, one that is less race-stratified and more economic-stratified than it was 20 years ago, said Kirp, a professor at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California-Berkeley and the author of Shakespeare, Einstein and the Bottom Line: The Marketing of Higher Education. When the various components of that stratification are assembled, a picture emerges that looks very much like Ashley Stockdale:
Some say that Ashley is an anomaly that a postsecondary education at a four-year public institution remains attainable even for families of moderate income. The same policy-makers, higher education advocates and college administrators are less optimistic, however, about future participation rates for young people from lower-income families.
For the first time in our history, or certainly since World War II, we are on the cusp of not giving the same opportunity to the next generation that we have always given to successive generations in the past, said David W. Breneman, dean of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia.
The numbers tell a compelling story. Between 1994-95 and 2004-05, according to the College Board, tuition and fees at public four-year universities have risen by 51 percent. Tuition and fees at private four-year schools grew by 36 percent over the same period. And there is no relief in sight. The College Boards most recent annual study on college costs reported that students attending public, four-year institutions paid 10.5 percent more in tuition and fees in 2004-05 than they did the previous year. At private institutions, those basic costs rose 6 percent, on average, during the same period. And community colleges, long a bastion of affordable higher education, charged 8.7 percent more in tuition in 2004-05 than they did in 2003-04.
Significantly, these cost increases have come during a time when family incomes have been essentially stagnant. In fact, Census Bureau figures show that, when adjusted for inflation, the mean income for families in the lowest income bracket has actually declined since 2000.
In the discussion about rising costs, College Board economist Sandy Baum has over the past few years been the voice of reason and reassurance. As she has pointed out to congressional committees, the media and anyone else who will listen, financial aid has played and continues to play a major role in offsetting college prices. Adjusted for inflation, the total assistance provided to the nations college students has risen by 122 percent since 1995, according to the College Board. Even so, experts say the overall picture is not healthy. For one thing, the bulk of this financial aid comes not in the form of grants, but as loans that must be repaid following graduation. Also, for the first time since the National Council of State Legislatures (NCSL) started averaging state expenditures for higher education in the mid-1980s, appropriations for public colleges and universities dropped in 2004 by 2 percent. The NCSL study this year reported that higher education budgets have rebounded, but only slightly by 3.5 percent.
The more vivid and lasting impression of public support for postsecondary education, however, is Measuring Up: The National Report Card on Higher Education. The study, issued biannually by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, rates or grades states on several quality measures, including cost. Rating affordability in 2004, the center found that no state earned an A grade, and only one California received a B. Two states earned Cs and 11 got Ds. The remaining 36 states including Iowa flunked.
State budget pressures pump up the price
Robert D. Koob divides in half his decade-long tenure as president of his alma mater, the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). During the first five years, state appropriations rose faster than tuition. That trend has since reversed. In fact, from 2000 to 2004, the amount of state funding delivered to UNI dropped by $31.7 million. The lost revenue forced UNI to hike tuition by nearly 60 percent over five years.
Julie Bell, education program director for NCSL, blames Northern Iowas predicament on what she calls the no-new-tax mentality sweeping through statehouses across the country. James Lubker, UNIs interim provost, is more blunt:
For as long as academia has existed, there has been a contract between academia and society, he said. Academia has provided a quality education and, in return, the state has made sure the students did not pay too much for that education. But, now, the state is not keeping up its end of the contract.
Out of a sense of fairness, Lubker acknowledged that lawmakers in Des Moines are not totally at fault. Like most states, Iowa has been hit hard by increases in Medicaid funding, K-12 appropriations triggered by the No Child Left Behind Act and other education reforms, and the rising cost of maintaining state highways and other infrastructure. When those costs were coupled with a mandate to balance the annual budget in a state with a shrinking population (and tax base), legislative support for Iowas three state universities and 15 community college districts once a slam-dunk evaporated.
Colleges are not producing these increases in price, said Michael S. McPherson, president of the Spencer Foundation and former president of Minnesotas Macalester College. Theres a little bit of bait-and-switch here. Legislators on the front end want to take money away from subsidizing higher education, and then they say the colleges have to get their costs under control.
William E. Troutt, president of Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., served as chairman of the National Commission on the Cost of Higher Education that issued a report in 1998 calling on colleges to get costs under control. Then, as now, Troutt said, the economics of higher education follow a unique but simple formula: Price equals Cost minus Subsidy. Private schools draw their subsidies from endowments and ambitious fund-raising campaigns. At public institutions, subsidies also come in the form of state appropriations.
Troutts formula, applied to Northern Iowa, yields this quotient: During the first five years of the 21st century, the students share their portion of the total price for a UNI education has jumped from 26 percent to 42 percent. To prevent that percentage from increasing further, leaner and meaner has become an administrative mantra at UNI one that has led to 8 percent reductions in both enrollment and full-time faculty.
In the eye of that budgetary storm the office of the president, 20 Seerley Hall a single candle burns constantly whenever Koob is present. It symbolizes the sense of calm that he has tried to project while guiding UNIs 12,800 students, 784 faculty and other administrative and support personnel through the crisis. Koobs motivation to protect and preserve this tree-lined, 900-acre campus supersedes his role as president: Hes also a UNI graduate.
Like many mid-size state institutions, the University of Northern Iowa grew from its beginnings as a teachers college to accommodate the baby-boomers and then their echo boom children. Thousands of these graduates have turned a quality, affordable college education into a comfortable way of life.
With evident pride, Koob stresses that Northern Iowa has managed to downsize without sacrificing its core mission. Five years of budgetary purgatory havent altered UNIs 16.4-1 student-teacher ratio, its average class size of 28, or its average enrollment-to-graduation rate of 4.5 years well below the national average of six years.
UNI has taken several steps to maintain quality while cutting costs, including:
You have to look for ways to work on it at the cost side and the subsidy side, said Rhodes College President William Troutt. And the schools that are vibrant and successful will be very attentive to managing costs and very attentive to getting the resources they need for their students.
As pleased as he is with what UNI has accomplished during a difficult time, Koob is deeply disappointed when he considers the many young men and women most from low- to moderate-income families who are unable to attend Northern Iowa.
The reason we achieved our quality goal is that we reduced access. Its that simple, he said.
Among the students who are on campus, there isnt much discussion about those victimized by that 8 percent enrollment cut the ones prevented from ever taking a class in Cedar Falls. If there has been a backlash over high tuition and fees, senior Tarek Fahmy, vice president of the Northern Iowa Student Government, hasnt noticed it. To be sure, the campus newspaper, the Northern Iowan, has dutifully reported the consequences of budget-cutting students complaints about reduced summer hours at campus computer labs, fewer sections of mandatory courses and the wintertime shutdown of the campus shuttle bus service. But when it comes to the price of their education, Fahmy and other student leaders say UNI students have complained little.
The only time the students care about how much it costs to go here is when they have to pull the money out of their pocket to pay tuition, said Fahmy.
Perhaps. But with 70 percent of UNI students receiving financial aid mostly in the form of loans the amount of money going directly from wallet to bursar is relatively small. Even regional, mid-size and relatively affordable state schools such as Northern Iowa are no longer pay as you go, said Jane Oates, senior education adviser to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee for Higher Education and Workforce Issues.
As UNI student Brenda Liddle can attest, when housing, books and other expenses are added to $5,300 in undergraduate tuition and fees, the only recourse is to secure loans and hope part-time employment covers the rest. A senior music education major, Liddle spends up to 30 hours a week working part-time jobs. Her earnings have offset her educational expenses somewhat, but hardly enough. She estimates that, at graduation, her loan debt will total nearly $50,000. Im scared, Liddle admitted. But I cant do anything about it.
While Koob faults himself for not doing enough to ease the psychological barrier associated with UNIs rising costs, students and staff give him high marks for honesty. Unfortunately, in almost every corner of the campus, forthrightness has done little to ease the sting of fiscal reality.
Jeffrey Copeland has been with UNIs Department of English Language and Literature for 15 years, the last 10 as chairman. He paraphrases Dickens to sum up his tenure: Ive seen the best of days, Ive seen the leanest of days; Ive seen it all.
In the best of days, seven years ago, the coffers were full. We didnt waste much, but we didnt want for much either. On the more recent bad days, Copeland and his faculty colleagues must contend with students understandably peeved over being wait-listed for a mandatory writing class (some opt to take the course at nearby Hawkeye Community College). His worst experiences came when expected budget appropriations twice failed to materialize, forcing him to rescind full-time job offers to successful candidates.
You can imagine what that does to the reputation of the college, Copeland said.
The leaner and meaner Northern Iowa means Copelands department now fills 25 percent of its classrooms with part-time, adjunct instructors. Meanwhile, full-time faculty members have added more service and scholarship activities to their workload curriculum development, academic committees and research.
Copelands department is spread thinner in the classroom as well. Faculty members are teaching classes they have never taught before. An instructor with expertise in the literature of the American Revolution, for instance, could well wind up also teaching a course in early 20th century American literature. Sometimes, said Copeland, the faculty member has only a few months as opposed to years of concentrated study to prepare for the class.
Everybody is now a Renaissance individual in our department. Everybody teaches everything. Is that good? he asked rhetorically. No. The former co-owner of a minor league baseball franchise, Copeland likens the situation to putting an infielder in to pitch. Taking the analogy one step further, though, he praised his faculty colleagues for stepping up to the plate. In a moment of reflection, Copeland admitted the changes have in many ways made his department and the university stronger. He uses personnel more effectively. Furthermore, budgetary pressures forced the elimination of several elective courses that, Copeland acknowledged, bordered on superfluous.
This process of cutting electives follows at least one experts prescription that colleges and universities adopt a coherent curriculum to rein in costs. They need to fine-tune the balance between a wide diversity of offerings and high-quality courses, said Paul E. Lingenfelter, executive director of the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO).
On the personnel side of the ledger, Copeland now shades toward making smart hires, generalists capable of teaching a wider range of subjects. Applicants with impressive but narrow areas of expertise are still welcome, but Copeland now also requires each job seeker to outline the broader contribution he or she can make to the university. Those who fail to provide a suitable response are not offered a position.
All of the fiscal moves at UNI from Copelands efforts to hire new faculty to student services decision to upgrade the schools online capabilities eventually wind up in Tom Schellhardts office. It is his job to ensure that whether state appropriations are high or low Northern Iowas capital expenses dont outstrip its revenues.
Like Copeland, Schellhardt sees a silver lining in the cloud that has hovered over Cedar Falls the past five years. Whenever you lose resources and talent, youre not a better school, he acknowledged. But from an efficiency and effectiveness standpoint, were better. We had to become more engaged in areas that maybe before wed taken for granted.

Windows and Office veteran ejects from Microsoft
The Microsoft veteran who helped lead development, sales, and marketing on Office and Windows is leaving the company after more than 20 years. Bill Veghte has "indicated a desire to run a business in a more end-to-end fashion and continue to explore new areas in the broad technology, communication and services sector,s" chief …
Not enough
Not enough changes at MS. More heads need to be replaced and Blamer needs to definitely kicked out.
Whilst Win 7 is a success...only because of the massive pent up demand to finally replace a 10 year old operating system with something failry decent, elsewhere MS is failing badly.
Office. Absolute madness that a user cannot choose between the new ribbon and the previous 2003 toolbars. Mad, mad. User inteface is everything and if a worker is trained and experienced in which buttons to press, then just imagine the costs of re-training, mistakes, lost productivity etc.
Windows Mobile. Even as CE it had great potential. I could never figure out why it was not being promoted more. Loved it. Now, despite being a great OS it has completely missed the boat to Apple and Google and Nokia.
MSN. What were they thinking of?! Maybe dumbed down tools for dumbed down yanks? That reminds me of Office 2007!
I could go on, but its sad to see the end of a useful empire, despite all its faults. As for jumping to Apple. Never! Nokia, tried them, never again! Google, tried them, never again, bunch of advertising bandits.
More Balmeric balderdash?
How does one "run a business in a more end-to-end fashion"?
I think we should be told...
I think "run a business in a more end-to-end fashion" means "I don't want to work with losers, for assholes".
I suspect...
...it could also mean "I'd rather own my own small business and control everything end to end as opposed to having good ideas squashed by short sighted financially minded management" ...or the jerks and assholes comment is probably pretty accurate as well.
Run it from end to end?
So Microsoft is almost finished? - Time to leave the sheltered shit shop and start anew?
(before it crashes and burns and all of ones shares become worthless?).
BillV a loser
It was amazing that he lasted so long. He was basically kicked around MS until he couldn't take it anymore. Allchin gave him the boot from the product side because he was screwing up server so badly. He went to NA Sales where they eventually told him to get lost too. He had a way of messing up big deals by saying really dipshit things in customer meetings. It doesn't say in his little bio that he was the person IN CHARGE of Millenium edition - oh my! And that he had Windows Embedded from end to end in the early 2000's. Windows CE was part of that and he ran it into the ground and was given another assignment very soon. The current Mobile problems can probably trace their roots right back to that time when the foundations of Pocket PC were being established. If he had foresight, Mobile could have had a very different foundation. He liked to hide things from Ballmer, like spending and what was really going on wherever he landed. I watched him lie to Steve in a meeting, but Ballmer was prepared the next time and caught him in the lie - great drama ! But he loooved to be bossy - this is what needs to be done, I'm in charge here was his attitude. Whether he was or not, and it was mostly not. I could never figure it out. Here was a guy that went from failure to failure and they kept him around - at really high levels. Must have been in the local Porsche club or something because it wasn't talent or brilliance that kept him there. But, but, he was a hard worker and put in very long days to keep abreast of everything and boss folks around ....... Oh, and an Associate Product Manager has never been in a position to have a broad impact like is claimed with the Office drivel ... Most probably he was in charge of a monthly internal Newsletter or something high impact like that !

BLACK SABBATH Lyrics - Black Sabbath
Review The Song (1)
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooo!
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!
Is this the end my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!

Incredible lead | Reviewer: Tom | 1/1/2005
I know music has come a long way, but if you're old enough to remember; or imaginative enough to transport yourself back in time... back to roughly 1970, you'll realize that there was nothing; no music to compare to this!
I'm not gonna analyze or label this song, or the band, or its place in history. I don't wanna talk about the "heavy" riffs, or the "Satanic" overtones, or the "darker" side of rock & roll; it's all been done before.
But as a matter of personal opinion... Bill, Geezer, Ozzy and Tony created some of the best music ever recorded. This particular song STILL (I'm 40) can bring a chill over me like few others... The emotion and fear that Ozzy brings in is incredible, yes. And Bill and Geezer are both one-of-a-kind, true. But the main LEAD, played to the end of the song, by a guy missing a couple of fingertips, is just phenominal!
Remember, nothing like this existed prior. These guys created, defined, and wrote the book on ALL METAL, most hard-rock, some blues and even a few ballads, to come.
And that's my two cents....

Archive for the 'Hispano-Suiza' tag
Hemmings is off to the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
A pair of Fernandez et Darrin-bodied Hispano-Suizas, to be shown at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Photos courtesy Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
By the time you read this, several members of the Hemmings editorial staff (including yours truly, Matt Litwin and Jeff Koch) will be on a plane for San Jose, California, in order to attend the chaos that is automotive week on the Monterey Peninsula. We'll be covering five auctions for four print magazines and the Hemmings Daily; shooting Concorso Italiano, a celebration of all things Italian and motorized; photographing the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance at first light; and covering as much of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion as we can.
In short, it'll be a whirlwind five days that doesn't allow for much detailed, on-the-ground coverage, which is why we'll be attempting to bring much of the experience to you live via the Hemmings News Facebook page, with more in-depth reporting forthcoming in the Hemmings Daily and on the Hemmings Blog.
What can you expect to see at Pebble Beach this year?
While much of the field remains a mystery, we know the show will feature the pair of Fernandez et Darrin-bodied Hispano Suizas seen above, including a K6 Coupé Chauffeur, with its distinctive open driver's compartment, and a J12 four-passenger Coupé de Ville. Both were ordered by financier Anthony Gustav de Rothschild in 1934, with the Coupé Chauffeur reserved primarily for his wife, Yvonne's, use, and the more athletic Coupé de Ville serving as Anthony's regular driver.
The coachbuilding firm of Fernandez et Darrin was founded in 1932 by Gino Fernandez and Howard "Dutch" Darrin, and for five years produced dramatically styled automobiles (generally featuring flowing, skirted fenders; split V-shaped windshields; low rooflines; and high beltlines) from its Boulogne-Sur-Seine workshop. As evidenced by the Hispano-Suizas ordered by Anthony Gustav de Rothschild, its clientele were among the wealthiest (and some would say, most powerful) men of the day, and the bold designs created by Fernandez et Darrin perfectly reflected the personalities of its customers.
The pair of custom-bodied Hispano-Suizas, fresh from a three-year restoration, will be participating in Pebble Beach's Fernandez et Darrin class, which will also feature a 1931 Delage D8 SS 100 Cabriolet; a 1938 Buick 80; a 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Coupé Chauffeur; and a 1933 Duesenberg J Cabriolet formerly owned by screen great Greta Garbo.
Following a 20-year restoration, Pavel Kasik's Tatra T77 will debut at Pebble Beach.
Another class of interest at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is Streamlined Tatras, and one of the automobiles to be featured is a T77 fresh from a two-decade restoration in its native Czech Republic. It is owned by Pavel Kasik, who located the car in 1991, but spent three years negotiating its purchase. The lengthy restoration was prompted by Kasik's determination to use original parts wherever possible. Work on the car was completed just days before it was shipped to the United States, and its showing at Pebble Beach will represent the restored car's public debut.
Tatra is one of the world's oldest automakers, and the revolutionary designs of lead engineer Hans Ledwinka incorporated a streamlined body (produced under license from designer Paul Jaray) with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. Many of Ledwinka's ideas were later used by Ferdinand Porsche in the Volkswagen KdF-Wagen and Type 1, prompting a 1939 lawsuit between Tatra and Volkswagen that would finally be settled in 1961, when VW paid Tatra a sum of 3,000,000 Deutsche marks.
This year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance marks the debut of the Streamlined Tatra class, an honor perhaps overdue for these revolutionary automobiles.
Lost and Found overflow: contact!
Like the rest of the internet, we know almost nothing about this vehicle. The photograph of it comes to us courtesy the Library of Congress's photo archive, which describes it simply as a "wheeled vehicle with mounted propeller" (brilliant!) and dates it to October 11, 1922. One Herbert A. French donated the photo to the library in 1947. The overhead-camshaft V-8 engine appears to be a World War I Hispano-Suiza aircraft engine, but we have no idea whether the chassis was originally some hay wagon or heavy truck, and we can't even hazard a guess at the purpose of the wash bin on stilts behind the driver, who may very well be Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters, caught time-traveling.
Stutz and Hispano-Suiza win Fairfield top honors
While barn finds were one of the major classes, and both the show field and associated Bonhams auction were full of unrestored cars, it was a pair of world class restorations that won top honors at the Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance on Sunday. The show awards two best-of-show honors, to an American and a European car, and both were former Pebble Beach class winners, the 1926 Hispano-Suiza H6B belonging to Frank Ricciardelli, and the
boattail 1932 Stutz 32DV belonging to Jim Glickenhaus Ralph Marano's 1929 Stutz M-8 Convertible Victoria.
I happened to interview Frank during the Saturday CCCA Grand Classic that precedes the concours, and while there are still a few gray areas yet to be filled in, the Hispano-Suiza's history is as fascinating as the car is beautiful. The one-off Chapron body is original to the car, and the going theory is that it was commissioned by the king of Tunisia. It later came to Long Island in 1948, and famed restorer Steve Babinski purchased it from the estate of that owner in 1998, with Frank in mind. Restoration lasted from 2002-'04, when it went to Pebble Beach and won its class.
We'll have plenty more show and auction coverage of the weekend in an upcoming issue of Hemmings Motor News.
Update: As per Michael's request, a few additional photos, and a correction to the winning Stutz. Read the rest of this entry »
Mullin Automotive Museum to open next month
Located in Oxnard, California, the Mullin Automotive Museum is scheduled to open its doors to the public on April 15. The museum, which will celebrate the Art Deco and machine age design eras (1918-1941) will have on permanent display exquisite art and furniture from that period. In addition, the 50,000-square-foot facility plans on exhibiting over 100 historic French vehicles, including examples from Delahaye, Delage, Talbot-Lago, Voisin, Hispano-Suiza and Bugatti, with coachwork from Chapron, Figoni et Falaschi, Gangloff, Vanvooren, Labourdette, Letourneur et Marchand and Saoutchik.
Last, but certainly not least, Mullin plans on exhibiting 30 unrestored vehicles with Pebble Beach winning restorations, as well as French classics from the Grand Prix and Le Mans sports car racing school of design; an entire floor – called "Club Bugatti" – will include a Bugatti family art exhibit.
Four-Links – Inside the dream car factories, more vintage dealership photos, six-wheeled Hispano, Toyota AA found?
* A couple interesting posts came up this week with vintage peeks inside the factories that produced some exotic cars. First, over at the Chicane, Harlo uncovered several photos from the Porsche factory, circa 1972. Second, David over at the Vintage Sports Car Review assembled photos from inside the Jaguar, Sunbeam, Mercedes, Bugatti and Lamborghini shops.
* We just stumbled on this months-old thread over in Motive Mag's forums with tons of vintage dealership photos. The one above appears to depict a Studebaker and used car dealership, possibly named Grissom, circa 1950. The address appears to be the corner of 10 Mile and Van Dyke, leading me to assume it's in the Detroit area, and indeed, there's a city of Center Line, just south of Warren, where 10 Mile and Van Dyke intersect. That location now appears to be a Bank of America.
* While researching another vehicle, I happened upon the website of the Forney Museum in Denver, where they have on display this six-wheeled 1923 Hispano-Suiza Victoria Town Car, built in Barcelona, allegedly for King George II of Greece, who never took delivery of it. So the reasonable thing to do? Stick it in the movies!
* Even Toyota couldn't find any examples of the AA, its first production car, when the company went looking for one in 1980, so the news that one may have recently popped up in Russia has been met with much skepticism. Japanese Nostalgic Car has more on the find, along with a breakdown of why it could or could not be a real AA. All we have to say is that Airflows were much larger than this car appears to be.
* Finally, Dave Lesick sent us a link to the website he's put together on the six-year restoration of his SS/AMX, which ran as the AMX-1 by Atlantic Rambler of Norfolk, Virginia. Just as cool as the car are all the vintage photos and vintage press clippings he's collected of the car.
no trains but planes and automobiles
Took a motorcycle ride down to the Rhinebeck Aerodrome over the weekend. There are on Route 9 just south of Hudson, NY. They have many WWI through WWII vintage planes on display and some of them in good flying condition as well. The air show was kind of hokey, I'm sure to help keep all the kids occupied, but the planes were mechanical marvels of their day and a lot of fun to watch getting up off the ground. The Rhinebeck Aerodrome has been around for almost 50 years, a dream of its original owner/creator Cole Palens. Cole bought most of the fleet of planes from a WWI air museum at the old Roosevelt Airfiled in NJ in the early 1950′s (The Smithsonian bought up the rest). He moved the original planes to Rhinebeck in 1959, pulling most of them behind his car, one at a time from NJ. Here are a few flying examples from the show.
British-built 1934 Dehavilland Tiger Moth Biplane. 120 hp motor with a top speed of 109 mph.
French-built 1914 Caudron G.III. This plane has a Gnome engine with a stationary crankshaft. The cylinders rotate around the crank along with the propeller. Only three engine speeds for this plane, off, half of the cylinders firing or all of the cylinders firing. As if you don't have enough to do with your hands and feet, you have to cut half of the engine off just to slow down.
1911 Bleriot XI cross country. 70 hp engine and weighing only 700 lbs. this plane will top out at 47 mph. That puts a lot of reliance on the wood and fabric wings to keep it up in the air.
Unbeknownst to me were the collection of vintage plane engines that they had on display in their 3 airplane hangars. This is where some non-working vintage planes are also shown. And in these hangars were a few vintage cars in unrestored condition as well.
Look familiar? Kinda sorta? It is a 21-bolt Ford flathead motor that was adapted by a company named Arrow for use in lightweight planes of the 30′s and 40′s.
After the Franklin car company went out of business, some of their engineers bought the company's assets and launched the Air Cooled Motor Development Company in Syarcuse, NY. This example of the 150-cubic-inch 4-cylinder Franklin motor was the companies first airplane offering.
Another car company who branched into airplane engines was Hispano-Suiza. This V-8 300 hp liquid-cooled motor was built under contract by Wright Aviation in NJ. Used in SPADs and Sopwiths of the day, it weighed over 500 lbs. and had a displacement of over 1120 cubic inches. I will post a few shots of the vintage cars tomorrow.

AUSTIN, TX - A House Investigative Committee has declined to take action in an inquiry into allegations against a Texoma lawmaker.
Texas District 62 representative Larry Phillips was accused of threatening to use redistricting to punish the political adversaries of Texas Speaker of the House, fellow Republican Joe Straus.
The House General Investigating and Ethics Committee spent more than three hours behind closed doors questioning lawmakers involved. District 62 Rep Larry Phillips, a high ranking member of the committee, was identified as the source of the threats by the Associated Press. However, Phillips adamantly denied those allegations in a statement sent to First News this afternoon.
Phillips said he would step aside from his official duties on the committee during the proceedings. The Committee's chairman said today they did not have sufficient evidence of misconduct.

Chevrolet Uplander Steering & Suspension Issues
I suggest you get the vehicle thoroughly checked out by a good mechanic to see what other work needs to be done. The big selling feature for buying an Uplander is that they're cheap to buy. You'll be hard pressed to get comparative value with another used minivan for the price of the used Uplander. Good luck.
gigi1957 Posts: 5I have read all of the post for the Chevrolet Uplander and would like to know if anyone has gotten an answer on exactly what the front end noise is all about. The last post here was on April 28, 2012. The problems are all the same as mine, however, there are no post with resolutions. I can live with the fact that the side molding is discolored and coming off again, the rear wiper recently stopped working, the rubber weather piece on the bottom of the sliding doors has come off, the accessory plug on the dash has a broken wire and doesn't always work, the right front turn signal burns out every bulb put in, the interior lights flicker, the key fobs(had 3 or 4) do not work, the air went out around 40,000 mi, coolant lines were leaking and had to be replace, chair rails to front seats are rusting, as well as the hinges, the bolt to the windshield wipers kept falling out and the clips to the windshield wipers had to be replaced. My vehicle is paid off, has 61,000 mi (24,000 when bought in May 2006), seats 7, great for road trips and entertainment for my grandkids. I just want it to work! I've had it to two different places and it's brakes and rotors for the forth time and another set of tires. I don't want to keep replacing things that shouldn't wear out as quickly as they do, with reasonable usage. I shouldn't have to look for aftermarket parts to fix engineering defects! I've already sent the 8 digits of my two GM vehicles to socialmedia@gm as requested

He didn't win BB, but Travis still has the girl! Will it last?

Miley Cyrus says that her country crooner dad Billy Ray has been making up stories about her upcoming wedding to Liam Hemsworth because he 'knows nothing' about her plans.
The 51-year-old recently sent Miley's fans into a spin when he revealed that his 19-year-old daughter wants to host three lavish ceremonies to celebrate her wedding, but the claims have been dismissed by the singer-turned-actress – who insists there will be only one wedding.
'This is one day when it's what I choose and every detail is things that I love,' she said during a recent TV interview. 'There is some rumour going around that I'm having like 47 weddings. I'm not. I'm having one wedding… It has to be perfect.'
Now Miley has admitted that she has no idea where her dad gets his information from, because she hasn't shared any of her plans with him.
'I don't know what my dad is doing or where my dad is on the planet. My dad knows nothing. I don't know what he is making up… I hate to put him on blast, but he doesn't know what he's talking about,' she says.
'He does what I do when he's sitting in a press thing − he's like, "Let's make this fun. Let's make stuff up. Let's get the ball rolling on some good rumours because I'm bored and I can start something".'

The fossil fuel bailout: G20 subsidies for oil, gas and coal exploration
Governments across the G20 countries are estimated to be spending $88 billion every year subsidising exploration for fossil fuels. This report documents, for the first time, the scale and structure of fossil-fuel exploration subsidies in the G20 countries. The evidence points to a publicly financed bailout for carbon-intensive companies, and support for uneconomic investments that could drive the planet far beyond the internationally agreed target of limiting global temperature increases to no more than 2ºC.

Karl Lagerfeld is moving to London, well... kind of. The designer is set to open his first UK flagship store tomorrow, and we got a sneak peek. The store itself is an ode to the fashion legend, from Karl figurines, pillow cases, mugs, candles and even iPhone covers emblazoned with Karl.
There is also a coffee table book section which features Chanel-isms like The World According To Karl and The Little Black Jacket. As if we didn't love him enough already, now we can all take home a bit of Lagerfeld! You can also buy variations of his customary fingerless gloves, sunglasses and stiff white collar, y'know, just in case you wanna dress like him too.
But it's not all black and white as you may think, as the ready to wear collection features lust worthy blue, red and purple hues. To celebrate his UK takeover, Karl has also created a collection of Brit inspired pieces, including a London sweatshirt, 'Mr UK' Tokidoki and Union Jack inspired wallet.
Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora rocking Karl Lagerfeld
It's set to be a whizzy superstore, as there is an iPad on each rail showcasing all the looks you can put together from the selection. So much better than seeing an outfit on a boring old hanger! There are also iPads where you can leave personal notes for Karl, from which he'll be tweeting his faves. He's obvs a secret selfie fan, or just really good at knowing what we want, as there will be photo booths in the changing rooms where you can take pictures and apply filters inspired by Karl. You can then upload your changing room selfies straight to Instagram!
Race you to the front of the queue tomorrow morning! That's not all as tonight we'll be heading back down to the store where Karl himself will be present. This week's #GraziaAsks is a pretty special one. Yep, we want to know your questions for none other than the legend that is KARL LAGERFELD. We're pretty excited about this ourselves - you might be able to tell... Submit your questions by tweeting us at @Grazia_Live using the hashtag #GraziaAsks or leave a comment on Grazia UK's Facebook page. We'll pick the best one and put it to Mr Lagerfeld himself. Go, go, go!

Sony was well aware of what they had and actually went as far as to patent the fight system with the US copyright office, doubtlessly hoping to profit from the mass of developers who would want to incorporate it into their games.
Above: The right analog stick assigns a specific button to an enemy
Unfortunately, consumers were not as kind as the critics. Presumably hoping to gain widespread exposure for its fancy new proprietary fight system, Kri's sticker price continued to descend until at least two GR editors picked it up for a cool $9.99 just a few months after its May '02 release. But if it's any consolation to Kri fans, the game often commands a higher price today - used - than it did seven years ago.
Dark Sector: Another victim of its own hype. With development starting as early as 2000, all the delays and revamps created a steady loss of interest in both the public and the enthusiast press alike. As an office favorite of ours, we feel most critics shrugged it off with a "fun, but nothing special" as a result of failing to live up to almost a decade of promises (copy/paste: Too Human).
According to a manager at our local GameStop, Dark Sector saw a $20 price cut after a scant two weeks, shot back up to $60 the next week, plummeted still lower a week later, where today you can find it just about anywhere for $9.99 brand spankin' new. We say it's not only worth that asking price, it makes the perfect birthday gift when you want to give off the illusion that you spent far more money than you actually did.

Welcome to the Pan-Clan
The Honda Pan-European Owners Club, the UK club for the Pan-European (ST1100 and ST1300) motorcycles.
Scotland's motorcycle safety inititive.
Launching on 17th April 2014 is a marketing campaign aimed at Scottish motorcycle riders. Supported by the Scottish Government and in conjunction with Road Safety Scotland and Police Scotland, this is an inititive to make riding on Scottish roads safer and even more enjoyable.
Although this is a Scottish inititive, many riders from the UK and the continent come to enjoy the roads and scenery of Scotland, and so the Pan-Clan are pleased to support this important campaign.
ST1300 Urgent News
Following a near-catastrophic accident, a number of Pan-Clan members report a serious problem with their ST1300's. It relates to the centre clamp underneath the bike where the exhausts meet.
For one member, this was so rotted that it collapsed as he was riding, the rear tyre then hit the clamp as it fell causing a blow-out. Others have checked theirs and found that the clamp has come away in their hands. see picture.
Replacement clamps are relatively cheap, and a lot better than the possible alternative.
Having just had my ST1300 MoT'd, I got a report that the clamps on the silencers were splitting (not the central one that gave the problem above). Having checked all three clamps I have now obtained a set of the 3 clamps required (2 large, one smaller), in stainless steel, from ebay. Cost, including the £1 premium for 1st class delivery (=next day for me) was £17! I was quoted almost £120 by the garage doing the MoT to just replace the 2!!

The Pan European Owners Club ("Pan-Clan")
Established 1993
The Pan European Owners Club ("Pan-Clan") is a UK wide club for owners of the Honda Pan-European models. These are currently the ST-1100 and ST-1300, but we are ever hopeful that Honda are about to launch a replacement model.
The Club is UK wide, but the country is divided into more manageable areas, which can be seen listed in the top left of this page. To see which area you might be in, visit this interactive map.
Each Area has an Area Rep who is responsible for informing all the members in their area about National and Local events that are taking place.
All Areas will have a schedule of ride-outs for each year. You can contact your nearest Area Rep to arrange a "Try before you Buy" where you will be made very welcome to attend one of the area events, and one of their regular meetings too.
Around this page you will see information about the various National Events we organise for the Pan-Clan members (sorry, these are strictly Pan-Clan members only). Elsewhere on the site is the information about how you can join the Pan-Clan. There is also information about the bi-Monthly magazine (PANtasia) which is sent to all members.
If you are not sure which area you might be in, check out the map on the Areas page. As a member of the Pan-Clan you can attend any area meeting, the assignment to an Area Rep is purely so you don't get forgotten! If you live near the border of one of our areas, it might be more appropriate and quicker to visit the adjoining areas meetings. You'll be very welcome wherever you attend.

Live Chat: Royal baby news...
canada.comPublished: Sunday, May 26, 2013
The Duchess of Cambridge is now in her third trimester and as her due date approaches, speculation about Baby Cambridge grows: will it be a boy or a girl, what do we know about possible names and will Prince William be in the delivery room? And it's not just speculation about the newest member of the royal family that has monarchy fans buzzing. Prince Harry just completed a successful American tour (no stops in Las Vegas this time), there's talk of Prince Charles becoming "regent" to potentially relieve his aging mother of her demanding schedule and, beyond the British royal family, there is a new king in the Netherlands and a whole generation of royals across Europe on the verge of taking their respective thrones. Join our discussion about all things royal with our panel of experts. Joining us this week: Carolyn Harris is a royal historian at the University of Toronto and Daniel Drolet runs an Ottawa-based communications company and is an avid royal-watcher who has written extensively about the royals for newspapers across Canada. He is also the author of His Grace, a play about a mysterious royal death in Canada in 1943.. Be a part of the discussion, Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.
LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 19: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge speaks with children as she visits Hope House, an Action on Addiction women's treatment centre on February 19, 2013 in London, England.

Alder NYC
My lucky day! I'd just arrived in NY for work and from the taxi window I spied 157 2nd Ave. When I searched the address online, I found Alder -- Wylie Dufresne's newest venture, just one week new.
I walked over to Alder just before opening to wait on line. People passing by smirked at the small crowd of us shivering in the cold wind. Little did they know what awaited inside.
For starters, it may look like a typically stocked bar....
but the cocktails are far from typical. I imbibed the 'Love Oolong Time' -- tequila, 5-spice, grapefruit and oolong -- made in-house and put on tap. Refreshment perfection.
My first taste of the eve was the Ceasar Nigiri: romaine, egg yolk, parm
Then came....
Chicken Liver Toast: cornbread, grapefruit marmalade, chicken skin. Stunning!
On the enthusiastic recommendation of the bartender, I ordered the Rye Pasta: shaved pastrami
aka, a bad*ass pastrami on rye, Italian style.
For the insatiable sweet tooth in me.....
Root Beer Pudding: whipped cream, crushed cashews and root beer candies
Alder. That way it'll serve as a souvenir and remind me of the fun evening I spent enjoying the thrill of some old favorites, entirely reinvented.

Your search "influential photos" resulted in 3 Articles
Influential Photographs: Pele and Bobby Moore Exchanging Jerseys at the 1970 World CupThe 1970 World Cup encounter between England and Brazil was set to be one for the books. Indeed, the game would be recorded in the history books not just as a heated back and forth battle between the players but because of the iconic photograph that told the story.
Influential Photographs: Breaker Boys by Lewis Hine (1910)All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Indeed it does as early 1900s social activist and photographer Lewis Hine portrayed.
Influential Photographs: La Jeune Fille a la Fleur, 1967 by Marc RiboudThey say "The pen is mightier than the sword" but what do you do when you're faced with rifles and bayonets? You put flowers in the muzzles and flash world known sign for peace.

It would be awesome if there were a more encompassing way to reconnect to disconnected games. Like some form of tracker that sees which games you've recently joined that allows you to reconnect to those which are still in progress. Last night we had a problem during play where half the champions froze and disconnected, only two of them actually came back though.... just a thought...

Leaving university stresses students more than starting it, Dean of Students saysEntre Nous
It's a busy time of the year for Dean of Students Andre Costopoulos, who is also a Professor of Anthropology, as students flood back for another fall term. Dean Costopoulos found a few minutes to sit down with The Reporter to discuss his role as Dean and a wide variety of issues confronting students and administrators, including sexual assault, drugs and alcohol, student discipline and the changing relationship parents have with the University.
Make your mark with pride and integrityEntre Nous
Principal and Vice-Chancellor Suzanne Fortier has completed her first academic year leading McGill. She took some time to sit down with The Reporter to discuss what she has discovered about the University and where it is headed.
Entre Nous with Rowan Barrett: Between the genes of adaptationEntre Nous
What would inspire someone to set up miles and miles of steel fences three feet high and two feet deep in the sand hills of Nebraska? For newly hired evolutionary biologist Rowan Barrett, it's just another day on the job. The experiment, to study the color of mouse coats, is a way to witness evolution in action, another avenue of unraveling exactly how organisms adapt to their changing environments. Barrett sat down with the McGill Reporter to explain his fascination with fences, deer mice, stickleback fish and lizards and how they all relate to his research about the genetic mechanisms which govern adaptation.
Trottier Symposium on Sustainable Engineering, Energy and Design: Drafting a green blueprint for the futureEntre Nous
The first annual Trottier Symposium on Sustainable Engineering, Energy and Design will be held March 17-18 at le Centre Mont-Royal with the theme "Engineering our prosperity: sustainable cities and industries in the 21st century." The Reporter caught up with Prof. Subhasis Ghoshal, Director of the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design at McGill to find out more about this inaugural event.
Entre Nous with Prof. Suzanne Morton, Acting Director, The McGill Institute for the Study of CanadaEntre Nous
The McGill Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC) welcomes Professor Suzanne Morton, from the Department of History and Classical Studies, to the position of Acting Director for the next six months while Will Straw is on sabbatical.
Robert Couvrette: Taking the long view on sustainabilityEntre Nous
Robert Couvrette has one of the most diverse jobs in the senior administration at McGill. Responsible for everything from how the washrooms are cleaned to how buildings are renovated (or built), as well as McGill's efforts in sustainability and space planning, Couvrette's day is pulled in many directions. We're not sure how he found time to sit down and talk with The Reporter, but, late on a Friday afternoon, he did. And he talked about taking the long view on buildings and sustainable practices.
Michael Specter: Irrational rejection of science threatening our livesEntre Nous
Michael Specter, staff writer at The New Yorker, tells the McGill Reporter that there is an increasing trend among people to reject scientific truths – and this rejection could have disastrous results.
We need to look at the role of the university in society, Fortier saysEntre Nous
McGill's new Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Suzanne Fortier, officially begins duties today, Sept. 5. She took time from a busy preparatory period to meet The Reporter and talk about herself, her experience at university and some of the issues McGill will face in the years ahead.
Another step in a great journeyEntre Nous
After more than a decade as Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill, Heather Munroe-Blum will be stepping down on June 30. Recently she spoke with the McGill Reporter and reflected upon her ten years of service leading the University on the road to success.
Entre Nous with Colleen Cook, Trenholme Dean of LibrariesEntre Nous
Because of the way library use is changing in an increasingly digitized world some of McGill's library spaces are slated to undergo changes this summer. Recently the Reporter sat down with Colleen Cook, Trenholme Dean of Libraries, to get a fuller sense of what is prompting these changes, why they have to occur in such a short time frame and how they present opportunities for improving student study space while still ensuring that librarians continue to play a vital role in teaching and research and are present to provide services to students and faculty.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Sansone's Seafood Market, Inc. 08-Jul-04
Department of Health and Human Services
Public Health Service
July 8, 2004
T. Richard Sansone, President
Sansone's Seafood Market, Inc.
1830 W. Seventh Street
Wilmington, Delaware 19805
Dear Mr. Sansone:
On April 6-8, and 20, 2004, we inspected your seafood processing facility, located at the above address. We found that you have serious deviations from the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) regulations, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123 (21 CFR 123). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of this part, renders the fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4). Accordingly, your pasteurized canned crabmeat has been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find the Act and the seafood HACCP regulations through links in the FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
The following deviation was observed:
You must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and you must have a written HACCP plan to control any food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(a) and (b). However, your firm has not properly established and has not implemented a HACCP plan for your ready-to-eat fishery products, such as canned pasteurized crabmeat to control the food safety hazard of pathogen growth and toxin formation, specifically Clostridium botulinum.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the observed deviation was listed on Form FDA 483 and discussed with you. A copy of this form is enclosed for your reference. This deviation is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of violations. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulations and the Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to implement procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct the violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your firm from operating. Please respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct the violations. You should include in your response documentation, such as a copy of your HACCP plan for pasteurized canned crabmeat, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, we expect that you will explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Lynn S. Bonner, Compliance Officer at the address in the letterhead. If you have questions regarding any issue in this letter, please contact Ms. Bonner at 215-597-4390, Ext 4401.

The Board shall fix tuition, fees required of every student as a condition of enrollment, student housing fees, building construction fees, and changes in academic fees. The Board delegates to the chief executive officer of each institution the authority to establish user and administrative fees where the increase does not generate an amount in excess of $250,000 annually. All such tuition and fees are to be incorporated in the Comprehensive Fee Schedule, which will be received annually by the Board.
a. Institutional Procedures
Each state university shall submit proposed changes for the following to the student body president and to the appropriate student organization prior to Board consideration: (1) fees required of every student as a condition of enrollment; (2) student housing fees; (3) building construction fees; (4) changes in academic fees; and (5) tuition rates. No student fees, other than user fees, shall be charged or collected by any state university for debt service on bonded indebtedness for any building or facility of such state university used primarily for academic purposes or providing health care services unless a student referendum is conducted in accordance with K.S.A. 76-742.
b. Establishment or Alteration of Fees and Tuition Rates
i. Board approval must be secured prior to the establishment or change of fees required of every student as a condition of enrollment, student housing fees, building construction fees; changes in academic fees; and tuition rates. All proposed tuition and fee changes shall first be submitted to the Fiscal Affairs and Audit Committee of the Board. The proposal shall be accompanied by a fiscal impact statement showing the increased revenue to be received and a detail of planned expenditures. The proposal shall also indicate the involvement and comments of student organizations and the student body president during the review process. The proposed tuition or fee change, financial impact statement and student organization comments shall be provided to all persons receiving the agenda of the Board meeting. Final action on such proposed tuition or fee change by the Committee shall not be taken until the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Committee.
ii. Any "Kansas Teacher of the Year" recipient may enroll for up to nine credit hours annually at any state university without payment of tuition or fees if the individual is actively pursuing a teaching career in Kansas.
c. Calendar for Fee and Tuition Rate Adjustments
i. The calendar to be followed for all student fees adjustments, except for emergency situations, shall be as follows:
(1) Changes in student housing fees must go to the Board for first reading in November and to the Board for final action in December.
(2) Fees required of every student as a condition of enrollment and administrative fees generating additional annual revenue in excess of $250,000 go to the Board for first reading and action at the same time as tuition rates.
(3) Building Construction fees may go to the Board at any regular meeting. Two readings are required.
(4) Tuition rates and academic fee changes will be considered by the Board no later than June prior to the beginning of the fall semester for which they are effective.
ii. The above tuition and fees shall be effective at the beginning of a fall semester, spring semester or summer session as specified by the Board.
d. Payment and Fees
i. All students are required to pay fees as published in the institution's comprehensive fee schedule. No student shall be permitted to enroll for any semester if there are outstanding delinquencies from prior semesters.
ii. Short-term extensions of the fee payment due date may be granted for sponsored international students experiencing international monetary exchange difficulties, students certified to receive funds through the institution's Office of Student Financial Aid, and for other extenuating circumstances at the institution's discretion. These students may receive tuition and fees extension privileges until not later than November 10 of the first semester or April 10 of the second semester, pursuant to written agreement with the institution.
e. Collection of Overdue Accounts
The state universities are authorized to use commercial collection agencies selected pursuant to the process outlined in K.S.A. 76-745 to assist in collection of overdue student loan accounts, student housing accounts, and other appropriate accounts.
f. Write-Off of Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
The chief executive officer of each state university shall request that the Director of Accounts and Reports write-off uncollectible accounts receivable pursuant to K.S.A. 75-3728a, et seq., as amended.
g. Tuition Assistance for Faculty/Staff
Each state university may implement a tuition assistance program for spouses and dependents of full-time employees. The specific parameters of the program as it applies to each institution and any subsequent changes must be approved by the Board in advance of implementation. The institution will annually calculate the total tuition provided through the tuition assistance plan and officially recognize this cost by reflecting it in their financial system. From this enabling policy, each institution proposing a tuition assistance program would present in the spring to the Board of Regents their specific plan.
h. Board Approval of Tuition and Fee Waivers Pursuant to K.S.A. 76-719c
The Board shall approve all university programs to offer to student tuition and fee waivers, specifically the Board shall review and approve the standards, conditions and requirements "designed to foster the growth, distinction, and stability of the state educational institution and the quality of its educational programs and pursuits."
i. State university proposals shall include a statement of purpose, eligibility requirements, award/waiver amounts, financial impact, and a description of the assessment that will be used to measure the efficacy of the award/waiver in achieving the stated goal.
ii. Typically, proposals shall be submitted to the Board for first reading in May and for final action in June of the year prior to the effective date of the program, i.e. program approved June, 2010 would be effective for fall, 2011.
iii. Reporting of approved waivers will be added to the existing reporting mechanism for tuition and fee waivers that is collected annually in November.
