EAGLE EYE page 2 Monday, March 10, t975 Letters to the editor Write for your rights To the Editor, Students at Lock Haven Slale are feeling the budget bile as manifested by increasing tuition and room and board cost. The question arises as to what you can do as a student to mitigate this problem. We can write our slate legislators and have our parents do the same. Our legislators in Harrisburg apparently have nol been so moved by sludeni rallies as to place stale college appropriations high on the priority list. Legislators seldom realize what consequences budget cuts will have on the individual slale colleges, these studenis attending these schools and their families. The legislators must be informed as to what the results of these cutbacks will be. Write and let your legislator know that the financial problems of Lock Haven are nol only of one stale college but of over 2,000 students and their families. Express your dissatisfaction with the rising cost of higher public education. Get your parents involved. Their taxes have supported public education for years and will continue lo do so, yet the rising cost of higher public education is hindering their children's chances of taking advantage of it. Writing lo your state legislators will provide them w'th insights into the hardships of the state colleges, their students and families, of which they otherwise would not be informed. Acquainting yourself with your legislators' voting records concerning state college appropriations and excerising your voling power is aiso very important. Becoming informed is a necissity required of yourself as well as your legislators. A letter writing campaign to Commonwealth legislators is being undertaken on campus. Information concerning it will be distributed to students and the names and addresses of Pennsylvania legislators posted throughout the school, I strongly urga studenis to write for the legialators will never know our academic and finan- m- iial hardships due to increasing educational expanses unless we tell them.
