Capitalism (with the minimal government regulation) is the only way for
to be both incentivized and rewarded for their efforts in an reasonablemanner

their labors.under
No free university education - thank you.
It is for this very reason (minimum benefit) that in England (at least
forHarold Wilson's socialist government**), students obtain council grants

fee1995. I don't know what effect that had - or what Maggie did.
I suspect most of Europe ensures students have a maximum benefit.
Don't bet on it here as long as the gov't is wedded to capitalism.
Under the "Pat" Brown administration the UC was tuition-less. The only
so,was the "incidental fee ($57), which included subsidy for campus orgs.

Hi all-
I would add to Michael's comments the following observation:
I observed Community college students arriving at school an hour, or
earphonesbefore class and sitting down to do their homework, often with
jobsattached to their heads. Often, I was told, they had worked at night
availablethe night before and were tryng to do homework in the only time
college".to them. To the extent that they are "working their way through
areoften claimed as a commendable enterprise, they are guaranteed to be
getting minimum benefit from the college experience. Perhaps there
steps we can take to help such people.
Regards,
Jack
