      This
      is
      not
      the
      typical
      response
      we
      hear
      on
      campuses
     
     
      |
      these
      days;
      Maybe
      it
      should
      be.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Thad
      the
      opportunity
      to
      hear
      a
      national
      journalist
     
     
      ‘speak
      to
      a
      group
      of
      student
      journalist
      a
      few
      weeks
     
     
      ago.
      He
      was
      critical
      of
      student
      medias
      blind
      liberal-
     
     
      ism.
      Although
      student
      media
      follows
      very
      liberal
     
     
      ‘ideals,
      too
      often
      they
      are
      followed
      without
      any
      critical
     
     
      hought.
      He
      used
      the
      idea
      of
      higher
      tuition
      to
      demon-
     
     
      trate
      this
      problem.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      tis
      generally
      accepted
      that
      students
      want
      lower
     
    

    
     
      ition
      and
      this
      is
      reflected
      in
      the
      university
      and
      —
     
     
      college
      newspapers.
      Yet
      is
      lowering
      tuition
      in
      the
      best
     
     
      ir
      terest
      of
      students?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ardly
      a
      jaw
      did
      not
      hit
      the
      floor
      when
      he
      said
      he
      was
     
     
      1
      favour
      of
      higher
      tuition.
      Then
      he
      explained
      his
     
     
      tatement
      by
      taking
      acritical
      look
      at
      the
      current
     
     
      ituation.
      Asit
      stands
      now,
      75%
      of
      every
      students
     
     
      sition
      is
      paid
      for
      by
      the
      government
      through
      the
     
    

    
     
      axes
      they
      collect.
      So
      it
      turns
      out
      that
      a
      low
      or
      middle
     
     
      ncome
      family,
      through
      the
      paying
      of
      their
      taxes,
      is
     
     
      subsidizing
      a
      student
      who
      comes
      froma
      high
      income
     
     
      amily.
      So
      the
      lower
      the
      tuition,
      the
      greater
      the
      sub-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      nstead
      of
      fighting
      for
      lower
      tuition,
      students
      should
     
     
      be
      fighting
      for
      sustantial
      tuition
      raises,
      With
      the
     
     
      funds
      the
      government
      saves
      from
      paying
      less
      ofa
     
    

    
     
      j
      udents
      education
      cost,
      generous
      bursary
      programs
     
     
      could
      be
      set
      up
      to
      aid
      students
      who
      can
      not
      afford
      the
     
     
      higher
      tuition
      fees.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Under
      this
      arrangement,
      the
      students
      who
      can
      afford
     
     
      the
      higher
      tuition
      will
      be
      paying
      it,
      and
      the
      students
     
     
      Who
      can
      not,
      willreceive
      bursaries
      to
      help
      pay
      their
     
    

    
     
      tand
      they
      would
      not
      be
      forced
      to
      subsidize
      a
     
     
      Wealthy
      students
      tuition,
      This
      would
      ensure
      that
      those
     
     
      wh
      »
      can
      afford
      higher
      tuition
      will
      be
      paying
      for
      more
     
     
      of
      there
      education,
      while
      those
      who
      can
      not,
      willbe
     
     
      subsidized
      by
      the
      government.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Weather
      you
      agree
      with
      this
      argument
      or
      not,
      it
      does
     
     
      bring
      up
      a
      line
      of
      thought
      that
      is
      seldom
      heard
      in
     
     
      campus
      papers
      or
      on
      campuses
      in
      general.
      This
      lack
     
     
      of
      critical
      thinking
      is
      an
      error
      that
      many
      students
      and
     
     
      student
      organization
      make.
      Without
      the
      ability
      to
     
     
      thing
      critically,
      we
      are
      condemned
      to
      follow
      only
      the
     
     
      generally
      accepted
      ideas.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Over
      the
      past
      year,
      most
      of
      the
      X-Press
      editorials
     
     
      have
      been
      attacked
      for
      my
      critical
      opinion
      of
      many
     
     
      popular
      student
      ideas.
      We
      should
      be
      taught
      at
      univer-
     
     
      sity
      to
      think
      more
      for
      ourselves
      and
      part
      of
      that
     
     
      process
      is
      being
      able
      to
      look
      critically
      at
      popular
     
     
      ideas.
      More
      critical
      thought
      is
      needed
      on
      ourcampus.
     
     
      Without
      it,
      we
      will
      forever
      hold
      only
      mainstream
     
     
      ideals,
      no
      matter
      how
      liberal
      they
      seem.
