Another gem from CO-EDiquette...

[telophase]

In the chapter describing all the various fees you will be paying at college*:

Tuition pays the cost of your education. If you are attending the State university in your own state, the fee will be small. In another State where your family does not pay taxes, it will be more. And at privately owned schools, it may mount up into the hundreds.**

* The more things change, the more some things stay the same.

** Yeah, yeah, inflation, value of the dollar, etc. Let me dream.

Well, I am old enough to remember when tuition was six dollars per semester credit hour at a certain state university with which you are familiar.

Is this from that movie with Raquel Welch, One Million Years, BC? Because that *definitely* wasn't what was going on at the privately owned schools I went through...

So I almost did a literal spit-take there. Because, hundreds, oh my goodness, if only. If only.
