Even More Fee Increases... ASUC?

http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=20585

When the class pass used to be a $30 mandatory fee, a few students would complain about paying for the class pass. I, for one, didn't because I used the bus routinely and at least thought they were doing somethign good for us.

But $55-70, by the way, at least how much the ASUC charges us, is ludicrous. What happened to fighting fee increases? Are fee increases now an accepted part of being a student at Cal? We paid the External Affairs office how much to "fight" against fee increases?

"I would support (the referendum) if they have to raise the fees," said senior Pammy O'Leary, a former Student Action candidate for ASUC external affairs vice president. "I don't like the fee increases, but I don't want to lose my bus pass."

Says WOULD HAVE BEEN EAVP losing to Liz Hall by less than 200 votes, I recall. The EAVP last year would have voted to raise student fees. WHERE IS THE ASUC? The External Affairs office simply lobby to delay a vote, but remember how effective lobbying is. Thanks, UCSA. Then what happens when the crap hits the fan?
