Even though the University of Memphis' colors are blue and grey, black was the color of the choice for President Shirley Raines. She attended Governor Phil Bredesen's "State of the State" address February 9. The governor is usually expected to discuss the budget for the state during his speech, but he has postponed addressing the topic until late March. This could be good news for the U of M community. Shirley Raines still urges the faculty and staff to "please accept my appreciation during these economic hard times that we are keeping our programs strong and delievering them in a timely fashion for students to graduate on time." Although the U of M president admits that she is unsure what the tuiton costs will be for next semester, students can expect an answer in June after tuition has been set by the Tennessee Board of Regents.
