David GarciaDave Garcia:

Dave Garcia was born in South El Paso on December 17, 1953. He went to St.Patrick Elementary School before attending prep school at Jesuit Preparatory. In 1972 he started college at University of Dallas, then finished at Southern Methodist University in Journalism.

During that summer while on his way to Nursing School, KTSM TV came calling. Since David had worked at KROD radio between school semesters, the move to a full-time radio job seemed logical.   Read more about Dave

“Starving college student” hits a little closer to home this morning.

And get this… the tuition at UTEP will go up by $300 in the next two years. The University regents okay’ed the school's idea to raise rates. UTEP pushed the hike as much as they could after regents told UTEP schools to limit tuition increases.

Here’s the hurt tuition goes from $2,884 for 15 credit hours to $3,034 in the fall and $3,184 in 2009.

The University says hey need the extra money because state funds dropped while more student want to go to college. Here the cash will go to pay staff and faculty salaries, for research and the cost of educating more students.
