Rep. Greg Ganske, R-Iowa,
said Thursday that he knows he
is going to have to run a near-perfect
campaign to knock off incumbent
Sen. 'Ibm Harkin, D-lowa,
• 'in the 2002 elections.
But the Des Moines Republican
said he is very optimistic that
he can win what is being billed by
both the Democratic and Repub-
, lican senatorial committees as
one of the top match ups in the
country.
"I think people recognize that
Tom Harkin runs tough campaigns,
but Greg Ganske has run
some pretty good ~ampaigns,
too," Ganske told the DI during a
wide-ranging interview. "I think
that's part of the reason why people
are thinking that this will be
a pretty good race."
The Republican representative,
who took a break from his
medical practice in the mid 1990s
to run for the U.S. House ofRepresentatiyes,
beat a 36-yearincumbent
in 1994.
Harkin, a Democrat who has
served in Congress since the mid
1970s, also beat an incumbent in
1984 to win the seat h~ has held

ever since. He was the first Iowa
Democrat to ever win a third
Senate term.
But Ganske pointed out that
Harkin's margins of victory
have been getting increasingly
smaller.
He said to win the election he
will have to get his message out
on radio and television, form a
good grassroots organization, and
compose a good campaign staff.
Thursday's stop at the UI Hospitals
and Clinics, though, was
merely an informational visit and
a homecoming for Ganske, who
did his undergraduate studies
and also attended medical school
at the UI.
Ganske, a reconstructive plastic
surgeon, first talked with Professor
Michael Welsh about cystic
fibrosis research. He then took a
tour mthe new Medical Education
and Biomedical Research Facility,
which is still under construction.
As Ganske looked out the window
of the building, he said he
didn't see the same buildings he
saw during his medical schooling.
Overall, though, he said he was
very impressed.
"''m a little bit biased because
fm a graduate of this program,
but I honestly think this is one of
the top medical schools in the
world, particularly for teaching
medical students," he said.
With the election more than a
year away, Ganske is still concentrating
on his current duties in
the House.
By putting more money into
the economy through tax cuts
and lowering energy costs,
Ganske said the government
will be able to help the economy,
which would in turn create
more high-paying jobs for college
graduates.
"I would love to see younger
workers become richer," Ganske
said .

Student government leaders
say they are preparing to combat
what they believe will be a recommended
10 to 15 percent
tuition increase for next school
year.
ill Student Government President
Nick Klenske said his group
is finishing plans to rally for a
lower tuition hike. Plans call for a
letter-writing campaign, presentations
to the state oflowa Board
oe Regents, and a "tuition tour,"
in order to inform student groups
who opt to have UISG representatives
come and speak.
The regents' board office staff
will release its recommended
tuition hike Sept. 5. The board
will consider the increase in September
and is expected to make
any increase official in October.
Officials have been predicting
a large tuition hike since the

state cut $42 million from the
regents' universities last spring.
A 15 percent increase would
boost tuition and fees $530 for instate
students and $1,795 for outof
state students for the 2002-
2003 school year. This year in·
state students pay $3,522, while
out-of state students pay $11,950.
"We encourage students to
come to meetings and write
regents," Klenske said. "We're
going to make this really visible. I
think students need to play an
active role. It would be good to
have students in the audience
when they make a decision in
October. "
The UISG has been in contact
with student governments at the
University of Northern Iowa and
Iowa State University and will
continue communication with
them throughout the process.
Klenske said he is very concerned
with students who may
be unable to pay for education in

the future. If a 10 percent
increase in tuition occurs next
year and continues to rise in the
future with inflation, a person's
tuition could rise 60 percent by
the time he or she is a senior,
Klenske said.
"fve had a lot of out-of-state
students speak with me about
their concern of not being able to
afford school," KJenske said.
"How can you plan for an
increase every year? There's a lot
oflong-term effects that we won't
know about for a while."
Steve Parrott, the director of
university relations, said the UI
couldn't predict the severity of
the hike but didn't feel that it
would have a large impact on student
enrollment.
"Yes, it's going to affect students,
but it's still going to be the
lowest in the Big 'Thn. That's still
a bargain," Parrott said. "When
students continue to come (to the
Ul), that's a good indication that
students value their education
here. This is the largest freshman
class we've had since 1986."
Regent David Fisher said he
didn't want to speculate on the
percentage of the increase but
expects a rise to occur. Despite an
increase, Fisher said he doesn't
believe a second hike will affect
enrollment because of the high
numbers of students registering
for classes at all three state
schools this fall.
"I know there will be an
increase, but right now it's a little
premature for me to speak about
how much," he said. "Tuition
increases haven't seemed to
affect the demand for enrollment.
Other universities are raising
their tuition. Iowa universities
are the among the lowest in the
country."
Despite student opposition to
an increase, Fisher said that it is
nece888l'Y to maintain each of the
state's universities.
