Tuition increase on the horizon Tuition rate rises explained Angie Stoecklin Editor-in-Chief
SC4’s yearly tuition rise is approved to go into effect for the upcoming fall semester. Each tuition category, in-district, out-district, student fees, etc. are on the rise for varying amounts. Here’s how much each category will increase: - In-District: $3 rise - Out-District: $6 rise - Out-State: $9 rise - Student Fee: $7 rise - Technology Fee: $2 rise - Nursing Program Fee: $2 rise - Online Fee: $3 rise While SC4 increases their tuition rates about once a year, this is, according to Board of Trustees Chairman Dr. Nicholas DeGrazia, a part of SC4’s strategy to avoid having to increase tuition all at once. Some other colleges freeze tuition, keeping it the same for a couple years, then when costs for the college increase over the calendar | pg 2 Front Page Cont’d | pg 3

period tuition is frozen, the college is forced to increase tuition by a much greater percentage. For this reason, DeGrazia said, “It’s a lot smarter to have a small annual increase.” According to SC4 student Emily Atherton, 18, sophomore of Port Huron, if other community colleges freeze tuition, than SC4 should do the same, “If that’s how other community colleges are doing it Boy Gets Girl | pg 4 New Board Member | pg 5

then we should probably follow in their footsteps.” While students like Atherton would like to see a less frequent rise in tuition, DeGrazia says that SC4’s tuition and fee level is lower than the state average, so SC4 is neither the lowest nor the highest in regards to tuition average. The college has three sources of revenue. One being tuition and fees, which is the only category Stressbreaker | pg 7 St. Patrick’s Day Parade | pg 9
that DeGrazia says SC4 can control, and the other two being state appropriations, and property taxes. DeGrazia says that SC4 operates on about a 2 to 3% per year tuition increase, to maintain the things the college already has. Some students may be wondering why with the college receiving money from the state tuition is still rising? Well according to Vice President for Administrative services Kirk Kramer, the money received from the state is the same amount as it was in the year 2000. The amount of money received by the state is determined be several factors, one of which being graduation rates. “The graduation rate comprises over 25% of a formula the State of Michigan uses when determining the state aid appropriation for Community Colleges,” Kramer said.

Tuition Cont’d
changed much in the last 15 years, the college continues to receive the same amount through state appropriations. The final factor in the college’s budget is property tax, which makes up for about 31% of the overall budget. The money from property taxes is split up into two millages, one being a general or perpetual millage, which has been in effect since 1967 according to Kramer, and is currently in effect for 1.394 mills. To better understand how a millage works, the explanation of a “mill,” according to an article from FlaglerLive.com, “applied to taxes, 1 mill is equivalent to $1 in taxes per $1,000 in taxable value.” The second millage, a smaller one that is voted for re-approval by voters in the St. Clair County Community College district every four years, and is currently in effect for .4951 mills. “This additional millage is used to support buildings, infrastructure, Softball Scoreboard (Florida)

and additional items not possible without the additional funding,” Kramer said. One could ask so why doesn’t SC4 raise the millage instead of tuition? Well again, SC4 is not in control of anything except for tuition as far as sources of revenue go. DeGrazia explains how the money from property taxes is determined, “If a college is in a district with a higher tax base, their percentage of their total revenue from property tax will be 50% or more, so they’re far less dependent on tuition and fee revenue as a component of the total revenue.” And, since Port Huron and SC4 have had their fair share of financial hits from the recession back in 2008, the tax base for this area hasn’t changed much. “In 2008, we and many other colleges across the country took a major hit in the recession, state appropriations went down, and property taxes went down because property values fell. We
now find ourselves in a situation where about 20% of our revenue comes from state appropriations,” DeGrazia said. Although the recession is largely to blame for the frequent increases, some students are still not satisfied with the way SC4 increases tuition rates on a yearly basis. SC4 sophomore Adam Kentchuski, 24, of Port Huron said, “It’s a load of bullshit that goes straight to the top of the food chain. I get that SC4 is the cheapest school in the area, but for how long?” While tuition rises may seem “overly frequent” to some students, SC4 Freshman Stacey Kish, 20, of Marysville, sees an annual tuition increase in an understanding light. “I can understand their reasoning for raising the prices frequently, rather than all at once. The lesser of two evils, I suppose. We can’t all have cheap, affordable college like the rest of the world,” Kish said. According to DeGrazia, tuition increases are a part of maintaining
It’s just good business, Jack
a balanced budget. “Students should know that we the trustees approve a balanced budget each year, balanced being that the revenue and expense projection each year is equal. You don’t know that you’re going to receive all that revenue or that you will have that exact amount of expenses, so it’s an allocation of money assuming that you will have expenses that will arise in various categories. 80% of the budget on the expense side is people, and a very high percentage in addition to that is support (technology, supplies, etc.) for those people/ academic programs (employees, teachers, etc.) You may or may not spend each of those items in the budget. In some cases, you’ll get halfway through the year and realize that you’re not going to need to have to spend all of that money in that particular category, and so the administration would have the flexibility to move that into a different category where the need is greater,” DeGrazia said.

SC4 players brings stalking to the spotlight Performance of the play “Boy Gets Girl” Jenelle Kalaf Photo Editor Who’s to say that your blind date from last week, the one that you weren’t into, won’t turn on you? You just met them and you already gave them your cell phone number and a Facebook invite. How can you know they already want to control you? On March 19 through the 22, SC4 players acted out just this situation in the stage production, “Boy Gets Girl,” and it very well could be anyone’s story. The story follows Thersea Bedell, a reporter for The World played by Leah Gray. She goes on
a blind date with Tony, played by Marcus Taylor. When the date doesn’t go the way Thersea imagines it, she breaks it off with Tony, but he won’t let go. His “romantic pursuing” turns quickly into stalking and death threats. In the end, she can’t take the fear and changes her name, moves to another town and leaves her old life behind. The subject and the acting were all executed perfectly. The play also dealt with subjects such as the act of “thanking women for sex,” the victim feeling as if it was
all their fault and stereotypes on both men and women. “I think it’s one of those responsibilities of art, and theatre in particular, to reflect the realities of society, both positive and negative,” said Tom Kephart, the play’s director. “It’s important for us to understand how this subject affects everyone,” Ashley Hall, the assistant director, said. Hall also said how interesting it was that the audience found some of these rude comments said in the beginning funny until they realized how terrible the situation really was.

The audience left with the feeling of uneasiness, leaving one question in mind: What’s stopping this from happening to me? Interested in being part of the next production? Auditions for The Fantasticks will be held on March 30 and 31, from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m in the Fine Arts building in room 26. Call backs will be on April 1, if needed. Auditions are open to all SC4 credit and non-credit students, all alumnus, SC4 staff and faculty, and community members. Please call Tom Kephart at (810) 9895721 for any questions.

SC4 Alumni finish the Charity Hockey series Alumni hockey team vs. Port Huron Police Department Mel Buskirk Copy Editor
On March 12, the SC4 Alumni hockey players faced the Port Huron Police Department on the ice at McMorran arena for charity. The PHPD teamed up with and against the SC4 alumni to raise money for the local D.A.R.E. program and the Alumni foundation. This is the second year that the SC4 Alumni has paired up with

Other opponents from the 2014-15 season have been the Blue Water Young Professionals, Port Huron Northern High School Band and Alumni, and Port Huron High School Band and Alumni. However, the game against the PHPD was the last in this year’s series. Although the SC4 Alumni did manage to score a couple times, they lost to the PHPD with the final score of 2-6.
According to head of Port Huron’s D.A.R.E. program officer Adrianne Mynsberg, “We try to do a game every year and if SC4 wants we’d be happy to do it

“In-tents” St. Paddy’s celebration Beer tent in front of McMorran Place D.J. Palm Staff Writer Protection from the wind, ice cold beer, live music and space heaters made for a very comfortable setting as McMorran Place held their annual beer tent for Pub Crawl 2015. Downtown Port Huron streets were filled with the color of green on the clothing and accessories of patrons who walked and “crawled” on the 18th pub stop event. McMorran Place provided the tent on the east side of the
building next to the fountain. On a 31 degree day, the McMorran was kind of enough to provide space heaters for people who wanted to stay inside the beer tent and drink. Not everyone was able to keep warm as bartenders serving beer were finding that to be a bit of a challenge. “We’ve always had the beer tent ‘inside’ we’ve never done the Pub Crawl tent outside,” said Grace Gabler, a McMorran Bartender helping to serve guests at the tent. “Keeping your fingers warm is difficult. Grabbing the
beer in the ice after a while your fingers start to go numb, you can wear gloves but they do you no good obviously.” One of the bands performing at the Pub Crawl tent was the Decamp sisters from Port Huron, Libby and Riley as they were accompanied by the Schreiber brothers Adam and Brandon, also of Port Huron. McMorran had live music playing in the tent from 12-7 p.m. the day of Pub Crawl. Dave Peters of the band “Mountain Babies” was partly responsible

for helping the DeCamp sisters get their gig at the tent. The sisters said they have fun playing and that anytime they get the opportunity to perform and are grateful for every chance play in front of an audience. The beer tent downtown closed at 7 p.m. but that didn’t mean the party was over as many downtown businesses (mainly bars) stayed open until the 2 a.m. closing time, giving people that much more drinking time after the tent folded up.

An Early Celebration St. Patty’s parade
Jamie Koebke Staff Writer Brisk temperatures, a sea of green and excitement filled downtown Port Huron on Saturday, March 14 for the St. Patrick’s Day parade. The St. Patrick’s Day parade took place at noon, starting before Pub Crawl at 1 p.m. The parade route started at Pine Grove Park and ended on Quay Street. The Irish-American Club of St Clair County hosted the parade. Metro Detroit Police and Fire Departments, the Knights of Columbus, the Irish-American Club and Troy’s Pub were just a few of the organizations who participated in the parade. Tiffany Powers, 31 of Emmett said “I like the parade happening on pub crawl.” Although it could be argued that the parade not happening on St. Patrick’s Day takes away from the allure. Bonnie Burns, 39 of Smiths Creek said, “I think the parade happening on pub crawl is good. It brings a lot more out of town customers’ downtown.” Not everyone feels that way though. “I wish the parade still happened on St. Paddy’s day, it’s more festive,” Larry Powers said. Larry, his wife Tiffany, and their son Shane rode on the Kearns float this year. Although it was brisk out this

year, there were quite a bit of people who came out to support the community. Larry and Tiffany Powers said they’ve been going to the St. Patrick’s Day parade for four or five years, bringing their son Shane for the last two. Bonnie Burns said she and her daughters have been going for eight years. “The Parade gets
everyone together for a festive holiday, it’s a fun day,” said Burns. “The St. Patrick’s Day parade is entertaining and gives the children something to look forward to,” St. Clair County Community College student Patricia Koroly, 22 of Port Huron said. Whether or not it happens on
St. Patrick’s Day, the children in the crowd couldn’t have cared less, their faces showed every ounce of excitement in them as a leprechaun came by and highfived them while another threw them candy.

Microsoft Makeover
Project Spartan brings Internet Explorer to a close Opinion by: Lily Petit Staff Writer
A leader in technology since their debut in 1975, Microsoft is trying to uphold their reputation by fixing their weakest link. Microsoft is discontinuing their 19 year old browser, Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer (IE) has been reviewed as slow and prone to freezing and viruses. One Microsoft video ad pokes fun at all the negative reviews it has received even calling Internet Explorer, “only good for downloading other browsers.” By the end of the video Microsoft dubs IE “The browser you love to hate.” But in the same ad they also promise a comeback. The comeback began on March 16. Microsoft’s marketing chief, Chris Caposella, announced the change from Internet Explorer to codenamed Project Spartan at Microsoft Convergence. According to Microsoft’s website, Microsoft Convergence is, “That one moment in time when the Microsoft business community members come together to share ‘Aha!’ moments. It’s their chance to network with other users, see things for the first time, learn about the latest features and updates, get answers to tough questions from Microsoft product experts, and find new ways to stay ahead of their competition.”

Project Spartan is still in production and has no official name yet. Caposella demonstrated the browser at Convergence. Caposella says Project Spartan will be reliable because it is coded the way the web is written today. New Features include the ability to annotate directly on web pages and a new reading mode. Additionally, Cortana, Microsoft’s virtual assistant, will claim a larger role in the new browser. Familiar to Windows 8 users will be the Metro styled look of Project Spartan. Project Spartan will be completely revealed when Microsoft 10, the newest
operating system, is released. Microsoft 10 currently has no official release date, but is estimated to come out this summer. While Project Spartan is meant to replace Internet Explorer, Microsoft is choosing to keep the latest version of IE in Windows 10 to give all clients time to switch to the new browser. Those involved in Computer Information Systems here at SC4 are definitely not clients of Internet Explorer. CIS majors Toby Matthews and Josie Trupiano were excited to hear Internet Explorer would be discontinued. Matthews said, “One of the first things we learn
in class is to download all the other browsers.” Hopefully with the introduction of Project Spartan CIS majors will use it for something other than just downloading other companies’ browsers. Microsoft will need to employ some strong persuasion to garner respect for their new browser. IE’s reputation has caused those with computer knowledge such as Matthews and Trupiano to regard the browser as a joke. Matthews says, “The only people who use Internet Explorer are people who don’t know anything about browsers.”
