A column in Wednesdays Herald (Calculusand pirates, Sept. 28) on the exorbitant price ocalculus books, especially James Stewarts book,is excellent. In act the author is, i anything, toogenerous about this very widely used book.

Last Monday, the Rhode Island Board o Governors or HigherEducation voted unanimously to approve a measure that allows undocu-mtd studts t pa -stat tut at Rhd Isad pub gsand universities. Te discounted rates will only apply or individualswh attdd a stat hgh sh r at ast thr ars ad graduatdwth a hgh sh r quat GED dgr. T ds, whh wasdrsd b G.

We applaud the board and its chair, Lorne Adrain, or helping to makehghr duat assb r a hgh sh graduats, rgardss citizenship status. In a phone interview with the editorial page board anda p-d Sudas Prd Jura, Adra pad th bardsds ad addrssd th mpats th ppst.

It is imperative to respect and care or undocumented residents, manyo whom did not willingly choose to immigrate to the United States

th rst pa. Ts p s a mprtat stp , as Adra wrts,pursuing a policy o openness and equal opportunity or an increasinglymarginalized group o people. Rhode Island institutions will undoubtedlybenet rom exposing its students, aculty and administrators to peoplerm drt uturs, bakgruds ad, as Adra puts t, drtstruggles than their own. Tis is ultimately a test o our compassion andur wgss t prmt udumtd rsdts th abt t bthah thr ddua gas ad pa a pst ad mpatu r th gratr Rhd Isad ad ata mmut.

Opponents decried the decision-making process, saying that noother state has adopted the same policy without its passing the statelegislature. But Adrain notes that the board has the explicit authorityto make decisions with respect to tuition. Even though this is a high-prole decision, and even though it has implications or the status oundocumented immigrants, it is ultimately a tuition decision. Adrainalso noted the 1982 Supreme Court case Plyler v. Doe, in which the courttd th Fh Amdmt ad th qua prtt aus th 4th

Amendment to strike down a exas law that allowed districts to withholda udg t duat ga mmgrats. Trr, Adra assrts,stats ar rqurd t tah udumtd studts, rgardss st.

T bard s as th rght sd th m argumt. Whcritics believe that decreased tuition will decrease revenue or RhodeIsad pub ursts ad gs, th bards tra prjtsare cautiously optimistic. With cheaper tuition, the schools are likely tos a ras dmad, whh shud subsqut bst ass szand thereore increase revenue. Further, Adrain points to an obvioussstm pt that hs rts wu gr duatg mr statresidents will invariably increase the human capital and earning powero these individuals. Even i the system sees a small economic loss atth utst whh s uk t bg wth Rhd Isad s sur tbt ma rm duatg mr ts rsdts.

he ield hockey team ell toHarvard, 4-0, Saturday in Cam-bridge, extending their winlessstreak in Ivy League play to three.he Bears (1-8, 0-3 Ivy) stayedclose to their opponents in theirst hal, but three second-halgoals by the Crimson (6-3, 2-1)sad athr dat.

he irst period was domi-nated by Bruno as they outshotHarvard 10-5 and earned ourcorners to Harvards one. Butth Crms dd t d ma

chances to capitalize. At 15:20,with Harvards second shot ongoal, Katelin Wahl ound the backo the net on a backhand to putHarard up, -0.

he irst goal gave Harvardugh mmtum t dmatthe next 10 minutes o play. heyput up thr shts ga whth Bars struggd t rr.

But in the last ive minutes,Brown went back on attack, takingha thr rst prd shts the inal minutes. Forward Haley

Aarz 5 amst put Bru

the scoreboard with a penaltystroke, but a save by Harvardgoalie Cynthia assopoulos en-sured that Brown would be downat th ha.

W startd wth th ba adwanted to immediately attack,said ri-captain Leslie Spring-mr 2.

But Harvard had the same idea.Just 18 seconds into the secondhal, Noel Painter scored on a passrom Catriona McDonald that hadslipped through Brunos deense.

We were depleted, Spring-meyer said. We had wanted to do

that, and they were able to stealth ba ad d t stad.

Te Bears were never able torecover rom the Crimsons quickstrk ad had just tw attmpts ga th a ha.

W pad prtt w thrst hal, so I think that whenHarvard scored at the very be-ginning o the second hal, it washard or us to keep our composuread thgs gt a tt dsjtdand rantic, said ri-captainBrdgt MNamara 2.

Fr th t muts, Har-

vard dominated on ofense, takingshot aer shot until their seventhattmpt put thm at a thr-gaadatag.

T attak Brus dscontinued, and the Crimson man-agd t put mr past gaShannon McSweeney 15 beorethe whistle blew, putting the nalsr at 4-0.

Te Bears will take on Quin-nipiac University (6-4) at home ina -r gam at 4 p.m.today. According to McNamara,their hope is to take their experi-ence with Harvard into todays

gam.W d t wrk hw w
