At USF, hitting up students for cash adds insult to injury - Sue Carlton, Tampa Times

Okay, students, today's lesson is: How to get blood out of a turnip. Not that I'm referring to today's fine crop of University of South Florida students as "turnips." But there may be those out there who would, given the latest plan to get something out of you. Apparently, there wasn't enough bad news for college students this week with those fat tuition hikes looming, so here's an adding-insult-to-injury fundraising idea from USF: How about we hit up starving college students for their Ramen Noodle money? Talk about your timing: USF is forming an organization to solicit current students for donations just days after the state House gave the nod to a budget that includes an 8 percent tuition hike. With, oh by the way, an expected 7 percent hit likely to follow, courtesy of the university system.
