Students will be able to voice their concerns about issues surrounding Marquette to University President the Rev. Robert A. Wild at an open forum tonight.

The forum will be held at 7 p.m. in the Alumni Memorial Union first floor commons.

Provost Madeline Wake and Senior Vice President Greg Kliebhan will also be with Wild to answer questions.

MUSG has notified the administration of "hot topics" that students may have concerns with, according to Laura Herzing, MUSG communications vice president and a senior in the College of Communication.

Issues that students are likely to bring may include free speech on campus, the Marquette Interchange construction process, devising a way to evaluate students' academic advisers and space for organizations on campus, Herzing said.

"The increase of tuition will probably be the biggest topic because it was announced recently," she said. "Students will probably ask if financial aid will be increased proportionally to the tuition increases."

Some students may also be concerned with PrintWise processes, she said.

"Although students received more paper for PrintWise printing, some students don't feel that the increase is not adequate enough," she said.

Marquette Student Government is the sponsor for the event, which is held each semester.

"There's a twofold purpose to the event," said Beth Feste, MUSG executive vice president and College of Arts & Sciences senior. "It helps the administration's top executives hear the concerns of students. It is also a good way for students to get to know the people that are in charge."

Many members of MUSG said the forum is a special event on campus.

"There are a lot of schools that don't give students the chance to voice their concerns on their campus," said Brock Banks, MUSG president pro-tempore and College of Arts & Sciences sophomore. "This is an opportunity for Marquette students to bring forth change on campus."

Banks said the forum is also a good way for MUSG to gauge the concerns of the student body to help create legislation that best addresses the students.

"I think it is good for us to see what people think, so we can make campus a better place for everyone," said Kristin Pinkowski, an off-campus senator and a College of Arts & Sciences junior.

Although the administration is aware of certain topics, MUSG officials anticipate new issues may be created at the forum.

"Just when you have a good idea of how things are on campus, there's always a student that changes that," Banks said. "New issues are always a part of the forum."
