DUWMboYZ Y>y Will Uoy<A Democrats Continued from page 1 and Finished second in Arizona and New Mexico — enough to fight another day. Edwards narrowly lost to Clark in Oklahoma, missing a chance to show his presidential mettle outside the South and emerge as Kerry’s chief rival. GSC Continued from page 1 benefit graduates, such as an increase in the number of employment positions available to graduates and increased fund ing for the child care center. Cappel also brought to light the fact that the student service fees have not been increased in at least two years, and this pro posed increase is smaller than previous increases. "We typically increase the fee an average 8 or 9 percent per year, so this recommendation is lower than normal," Cappel said. "This recommendation Dean saved his money for a last stand in Wisconsin on Feb. 17, a long-shot strategy that some of his own advisers questioned. “We’re going to have a tough night,” Dean told supporters as he promised to keep “going and going and going and going — just like the Energizer bunny.” Said Steve Murphy, who ran Rep. Dick Gephardt’s campaign: “Howard Dean is done.” The list was submitted the week after Thanksgiving break, so it came long before (A&M President Robert M.) Gates’ announce ments of-UiUion increases." Last year, the proposed fee increase overwhelmingly failed in referendum. Organizations and University departments would have to cut programs and faculty if the recommendation does not pass in referendum, Cappel said. "I'm disappointed that GSC has voted to endorse this Student Service Fee bloatfest, especially in light of the recently announced tuition increases," said Matthew Wilkins, speaker of the Student Senate. "But 1 am confident that of ex-candidates grows: Florida Sen. Bob Graham dropped out first, then Carol Moseley Braun. Gephardt and Lieberman. “Today the voters have ren dered their verdict and I accept it,” Lieberman said. Kerry, who just six weeks ago was written off as a candidate, reshaped the race with victories in Iowa and New Hampshire while Dean’s candidacy cratered. the student body will soundly reject it in the referendum." Student Senate rejected the recommendation last Wednesday because they did not support it going above the state cap. The bill to support the recommenda tion failed 24 to 21, as it did not reach a two-thirds majority. "I am not questioning Senate policy because they are a sepa rate body, but you have to look at the actual numbers in support of the recommendation in the senate to approve," Peschel said. The Student Service Fee cap increase recommendation will be presented on the spring election ballots.
