In regard to the story Nov. 4 of Fresno State students and President John Welty involved in a discussion of the ever-rising cost of higher education, perhaps the students should rollback on some of their fees, i.e., cease purchasing $5-a-day Starbucks lattes, do without $100 Coach clutches with only $2 and spare change within, resist buying a pair of $150 Lucky Brand skinny jeans, and maybe trade in that $400-a-month Audi, for say, something within their budget, for these times, and most importantly, for their livelihoods.
It seems that some of these students need to re-enroll in a basic economics class, put down their iPhone subscription and listen to the instructor that wisely lectures whatever the times, whether tumultuous or prosperous, do not spend beyond your means!
And to that student who wanted to study at Dr. Weltys home because the campus library is closed on Saturdays, there are some local public libraries open seven days a week. But then again, there is no Starbucks in the Mariposa Street branch.
