Words definitely have power. Our thoughts, hopes and desires are shaped by our understanding of language. So join with me in both the usage and popularization of, "scholasticity".

As a college student, my primary goal for my life right now is to shape my brain into a fiercely effective critical thinking machine and arm it with a wide array of information from many subjects. In a few years, my generation will be running the world and we need to be ready.
I encourage all to comment and criticize upon the issues found on blog to help promote a community that develops scholasticity.

Tuition increases

With the economy being what it is, tuition is increasing around the country. For at least four years, maybe more, the cost of attending liberal arts colleges has been increasing. In Nebraska, it has been pretty regularly going up by $1,000 a year. At state colleges, the increase is a little less dramatic, but still pretty regular. So with the price of education increasing, how long until higher education becomes a luxury rather than a standard?
Not everybody is going to be able to afford college before too long. In four years, Doane's tuition has increased $4,000. When will this downward spiral turn around? Any opinions on when or what will need to happen before the situation gets any better?
