 Hey Golden Bears, it's November and with midterms finally winding down, it's about time you update yourselves on what's been going on outside the classroom. Here are the stories you need to know. A UC tuition hike, a brain decoder that reads minds, a controversial speaker for this December's graduation, and Berkeley's best late-night munchies. I'm Don Kanya and the Berkeley dean starts now. First up, UC President Jen Napolitano has just announced her recommendation for a yearly tuition increase, one that could span the course of five years. Because the idea of course is that higher education should be an aspiration available to any California student. Despite opposition from Governor Brown, Napolitano has released recommendations that could raise California in-state tuition to $12,804 by next year. With tuition projected to rise to more than $15,000 by 2019. This recommendation has already encountered opposition from students, much like Napolitano's campus visit last February. Up next, UC Correspondent Marion Haider-Alley heads to a lab right here on campus where researchers are developing technology that could allow others to hear your inner thoughts. Researchers at the Knight Lab are in the preliminary stages of creating a device that is meant to help the disabled or mute communicate. Stephanie Martin is a leading researcher on the project. Many people suffer from complete paralysis or aphasia and they cannot communicate despite being fully aware. So building a device that can predict what is going on inside their mind would help them to communicate in a more natural, speech-like way. Although the device is meant to aid those who can't fully communicate, it is likely that the technology will expand as part of everybody's daily life. Berkeley has been making waves nationally for a movement protesting the selection of Bill Maher as the keynote speaker for the upcoming fall commencement. Bill Maher, a political comedian and TV show host, made remarks considered inflammatory by some. It's the only religion that acts like the mafia that will fucking kill you if you say the wrong thing. A petition with nearly 6,000 supporters asked the university to uninvite Bill Maher for his offensive and dangerous rhetoric. The problem is that if he's going to make these generalizations about a group of people which are problematic and dangerous, then he doesn't deserve to be elevated to the position of a commencement speaker. The university administration, however, stands by the invitation and looks forward to welcoming Maher for the commencement. And they invited me because it was the 50th anniversary of something that is legendary on that campus, the Berkeley Free Speech Movement. And finally, our pick of the week, we asked you viewers what your favorite late night lunch is fond of us, with La Burrida sweeping over 50% of the votes.
