Overall, the College Board found that students at public four-year colleges this year paid an average of $9,663 for tuition, fees, room and board. For many students, staying home to attend more-affordable community colleges is the alter native to covering tuition increas es with student loans. Clarification In the Feb. 11 page 1 artide titled "scrap fire may be included in senate proposal," Marc Barringer and Ryan Kirkpatrick are co-chairs for the Bonfire Coalition Committee. The Battalion regrets that a Feb. 10 column appearing on page 5B titled "The future of NASA" contained unattrib uted information obtained directly from another publication. RVs Continued from page 1 sharpen their judgment ” he said. Noack said the meetings would help both groups determine how the incident was misinterpreted. “I think we’ll both go away feeling we understand each other,” Noack said. Rev. Danita Noland, who spoke at the vigil and complained about the cadets’ actions to Van Alstyne, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Some of the anti-war protestors had accused the cadets of deliberately disrupt ing the peace vigil with loud drill chants and marching formations, and that a few of the cadets had pointed their ceremonial rifles in the direction of the protestors. They also alleged that at one point, the cadets huddled and one of the unit’s leaders made negative comments about the protest in his address. But Van Alstyne said the Ross Volunteer commander spoke to the unit according to normal operating procedure, and simply asked them to take pride in their organiza tion, reminding them that many Aggies serving in the military around the world were demonstrating the same pride that he was encouraging in the company. The Ross Volunteer commander did not discuss the protestors. Van Alstyne said. The Ross Volunteers, one of the Corps' elite units, serve as the honor guard for the governor of Texas. About 150 cadets are members of the company, which performs the 21-guii- salute at Silver Taps and Muster.
