to maintain its success. “UNI needs the revenue, as we are the university with the highest percentage of in-state students with smaller state appropriations,” Evans said. The student government and Board of Regents discovered the state appropriations were even smaller than anticipated this year, thus the unusual mid-year tuition increase. Many students are upset about this increment, including junior criminology major Nick Oldenburger. “That hundred dollars could be someone’s groceries for the month or go towards other bills,” said Oldenburger. “It seems unfair to surprise students with an extra hundred dollars out of nowhere.”

NISG President Katie Evans approves of the recent three percent hike in tuition. On September 9 the Board of Regents passed the measure for tuition at UNI and ISU increase. Tuition at UNI will be raised approximately $100 next semester. According to Evans, the money will be going to good use. “The money will go towards maintaining the excellent programs and opportunities we have, covering salary increases, etc.,” said Evans. With the approximate 12,000 students attending UNI, the school will earn about 1.2 million dollars extra next semester. However, Evans thinks every penny is necessary for UNI

James M. Lang speaks about the invisibility of the poor in author George Orwell’s works. The lecture was part of UNI’s annual conference on ethics in higher education.

“What you see running consistently throughout Orwell’s work is this idea that modern capitalist societies ... are deliberately structured to keep the poor out of our sight,” said James M. Lang, professor of English at Assumption College in Massachusetts, in a lecture Friday. The lecture, “The Poor of ‘1984’: The Roots of George Orwell’s Final Novel,” was part

of UNI’s annual conference on ethics in higher education. Some 40 faculty members, community members and students attended the discussion in Seerley Hall. Throughout the talk, Lang outlined what he saw to be an overlooked theme of George Orwell’s body of work: the invisibility of the poor. He said with the popularity of books like “Animal Farm” and “1984” the lens that is applied to them, and to Orwell — namely that Orwell was a harsh critic of communism See ‘1984’, page 5
