THE STUDENT RESPONSE TO TUITION HIKES
Dear Readers,UNC-Chapel Hill students are cur-rently facing an unprecedentedhike in tuition rates. Since state ap-propriations to the university weredrastically cut by $100 million, we’refacing a tough situation. How do weapproach filling in that gap withoutjeopardizing the quality, the pres-tige, or the diversity of our beloveduniversity?The problem is complicated, andthe solution will not be simple.Administrators, faculty, sta
, stu-dents and their families, and townresidents and o
cials all are goingto be a
ected, but all of their posi-tions are not always representedequally. In an e
ort to change this,some students decided to mobilizeto be advocates for those perspec-tives that are given less coverage.This issue explores the role of those students and their movementto oppose the tuition hikes that arethreatening the very nature of ouruniversity. As a student publicationthat receives funding from the uni-versity, we aim to give students an-other platform by which to have theirvoices heard.Happy reading!Chelsea PhippsEditor-in-Chief

unsafe
abortions.Abortion rates are
higher
incountries wherethe procedure is
illegal
.
Abortion rates were lowestin Western Europe (~12/1000)and highest in Eastern Europe(~43/1000). The North Americanrate was
~19/1000.
Almost all
unsafeabortions

developingcountries
, where thenumber of family planning andcontraceptive programs havestopped increasing.About
47,000 women
across the globe died fromunsafe abortions in
2008
.There are higherabortion rates andregions with

Nearly half
of allabortions worldwide are unsafe.Better access to birth control indeveloped countries resultedin
fewer unwantedpregnancies

T
here is an unfortunate dichotomy in ourculture that says one either has to be “pro-choice” or “pro-life”, as if those who agreewith keeping abortion legal are in e
ect “an-ti-life.” This is how many conservatives havecome to adopt the term “pro-abortion” whenreferring to anyone under the pro-choicebanner. But let it be stressed that no one, re-gardless of political or religious a
liation, ispro-abortion. There is no anti-life sentimentto be found, but rather the acknowledge-ment that a necessary evil must be providedin order to protect the mental and physicalwell-being of women across the globe. Re-produced here is a study from Gilda Sedgh,et al. that brings to light the dangers of out-lawing abortion, and shows how one can bepro-choice and still be pro
-life.

Why “pro-choice” doesn’t mean “anti-life.”
