The communication studies freshman has spent spring break on Florida beaches in the past, but this year she’s staying home to save money. Between a shaky economy and the news of drug wars and increased violence along the borders of Mexico, local travel agencies are admitting the spring break market has been affected, and resorts are lowering prices to attract a larger market. Joy Sills, AAA travel agent in New Orleans, said airfare and hotel prices decreased this year in Mexico, including in the popular destination Can- cun. Last-minute prices for an all-inclusive trip to Cancun for five nights, including airfare and trans- fer, is around $500 per person, Sills said. “The economy is definitely affecting us,” said Siman Normand, Accent Travel Services Inc. travel By Joy Lukachick Staff Writer The Law Center chancellor ex- pressed concern Tuesday for loom- ing budget cuts, saying a $2 million cut could adversely affect the prog- ress for the Law Center’s future. Chancellor Jack Weiss outlined the main areas the Paul M. Hebert Law Center will have to cut if Gov. Bobby Jindal pro- posed budget cuts to higher educa- tion pass the legis- lature in July. “When you have a budget cut of this magnitude, it is definitely threatening to the momentum of the school,” Weiss said. Weiss said his goals for cutting the school’s budget are similar to LSU System President John Lom- bardi’s goal to “not adversely affect the core academic issues.” Weiss said he wants to maintain motivation for faculty and maintain scholarships LAW CENTER, see page 15 SPRING BREAK, see page 15 We’re now looking into ... the possibility of a volun- tary faculty furlough.’ Jack Weiss Law School chancellor ‘For four-year institutions, [funding] should be across the board.’ Colorado Robertson SG president Inside: Read about how the violence has already affected trips, page 6. Student Government Presi- dent Colorado Robertson said a complicated funding formula under consideration by the state Board of Regents is unfair to the University. The formula would establish how much total funding a univer- sity should have based on an insti- tution’s level of research, gradua- tion rates and its ability to produce graduates in high-demand profes- sional fields. The Board of Regents’ budget request calls for the state to pay 56 percent of that total for LSU, and 60 percent or more for all other four-year institutions. The remain- ing money would come from tu- ition, research, grants and other sources. “LSU A&M should receive the same amount of state share of their operating dollars as every other four-year institution in this state,” Robertson said. The Board of Regents is meet- ing today to discuss the methodol- ogy behind the formula, which has been in the works for nearly two years. Robertson met with Commis- sioner of Higher Education Sally Clausen and LSU System Spokes- man Charles Zewe last week to discuss the formula and its role in pending budget cuts. “For four-year institutions, [funding] should be across the board,” Robertson said. “It’s not fair, and it’s not equitable for LSU Board to consider formula today By Kyle Bove Chief Staff Writer photos courtesy of The Associated Press [Pictured Above] Various students spend their spring breaks at South Padre Island in Texas.
