TO THE EDITOR:
This will be short, sweet and rather bitter, to be honest. On Oct. 28, three articles were featured on the front of the DTH: “Massive tuition hikes possible,” “Athletics programs face cuts,” and “DPS may limit transit due to lack of funds.” In that same newspaper, two articles featured a fee for the Homecoming concert.
I guarantee I am not the only student furious that any part of UNC would promote a fee for a one-day event that only a small proportion of the University attends. And why? Simply so people will complain less about the musical artist choice?
To utilize your own words in the opinion piece, “Stop Requested: DPS’ plan for student transit fees requires reworking for fairness,” on Nov. 2: “With tuition possibly rising 40 percent over the next two to four years, poor economic prospects and a rising debt load, every penny counts.”
Let me reiterate that: every penny counts. Why should a fee for Homecoming even be considered? Outrageous.
