It takes real nerve to accept a salary increase of more than 25 percent in the last couple of years while last year passing an 8 percent tuition increase to the families of students who are lucky to make 10 percent of Spanier's salary. What can Spanier possibly do in State College with $400,000 that he couldn't have done with $300,000? And what service is that extra 25 percent getting you?

More ineffective rhetoric about the evils of binge drinking and rioting? As president, Mr. Spanier is supposed to serve the university and its constituents. What service has he done for students by presiding over one of the largest tuition increases in the university's history?

How he can look himself in the mirror after he cashes his paycheck? If he does not see the wrongness of passing his pay raise onto the people whom he has failed, then he might not be the right man for the job.
