Proposed tuition changes mean students will pay more for college in the fall

The days of rock-bottom tuition may be ending for some of Florida's universities.

When school starts this fall, students will pay from 6 percent to 15 percent more in tuition than they did last year.

The University of Florida, Florida State University and the University of South Florida plan to charge 15 percent more than last year. Florida International University hopes to join that group; its board of trustees will consider a 15 percent increase at a July 7 meeting.

The University of Central Florida plans to raise its tuition 9 percent this fall. All other state universities, including Florida Atlantic University, plan to go up 6 percent as approved by the state Legislature.

Caught On Tape: Cuban Rafters Off Key West

A group of Cuban rafters were picked up by the Coast Guard over the weekend off the Florida Keys.

The 7 refugees were first spotted by group of cruise ship passengers about 30 miles south of Key West. As the captain slowed the ship to get a closer look at the group he radioed their position to the Coast Guard.

Passengers on the upper decks took home video of the 6 men and woman as they paddled what looked to be a makeshift boat made of wood, blue tarps and tape. As cruise ship crew members gave the refugees water and bread, they were told that the group had been at sea for four nights. One of the rafters gave a passenger the phone number of his father who lived in Miami. That passenger called the older man to let him know his son was all right.

Elian Gonzalez Joins Cuba's Communist Youth Union

Eight years after a headline making international custody fight which ended with his return to his father in Cuba, Elian Gonzalez has joined Cuba's Young Communist Union.

In an article in Cuba's communist youth newspaper, Juventud Rebelde , the 14-year old Gonzalez said he would never let ex-President Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro down. He joined more than 18-thousand others who joined the group on Saturday.

In 2000, Gonzalez' mother was killed when a boat carrying them to the U.S. capsized in the Florida Straits. Elian, who was 6 years old at the time, and two other refugees were found clinging to an inner tube for survival. After his rescue the boy stayed with relatives in South Florida until a long tug of war over custody end with armed federal agents seizing him from his great uncle's Miami home. Elian then returned to Cuba with his father.
