It is not only us having trouble with this.... I hate to say religion but they are incrementally pushing there intolerance everywhere. Take this poor guy.

I recall getting $60/mo frosh year, and a whopping $240/mo as a senior, after all the "maintenance costs" were withheld (haircuts, shoe repair, uniform tailoring, ring account, officer uniform purchase, books, software, long term debts, etc.).
