In reading the reply made by Alan S. Watt on this subject, I believe
he misread the fee raise.  He said:

"Ye Gods!  Boycott classes because the tuition went up from $100 to
$300??? Not only counterproductive, but unrealistic." 

This is not so.   Fees were increased 'by' $100 to $300, not 'from'
$100 to $300. The fees last quarter at UCSD were 398.50 and next
quarter they will be 510.50 this is for undergraduates and does
not include health insurance which is optional. This is per
quarter also, which comes out to 1531.50 per year (housing and
books not included).

Many of the students I have talked with understand the need for fee
hikes but are upset because the hike comes in the middle of the
school year and there is virtually no time to save the extra needed
dollars.
