问题     In many states, budget requests by state universities have had to
be scaled back or frozen, while tuition, the share of the cost borne by
the students themselves, has gone up. The problem with the governors【M1】______
is particularly distressing because they all agree that the quality of
their colleges and universities helps drive the economic engines
of their states. And they are constantly being told by everyone like【M2】______
college administrators to editorial writers that only way to make【M3】______
their state universities better is to spend more money.
    But it was against this backdrop that members of the association【M4】______
came together in this city to discuss issues of common concern, one
is higher education. And the focus of their talks about college【M5】______
centered not on how money could be more effectively directed,
but on what to get greater productivity out of a system that has【M6】______
become highly inefficient and resistive against change.【M7】______
    As a result, the governors will embark a three-year study of【M8】______
higher education system and how to make state colleges and
universities better able to meet the challenges of a global economy in
the 21st century. And judging from the tenor and tone of their
discussion, the study could produce a push in for higher standards,【M9】______
more efficiency and greater accountability. Pennsylvania Governor
Tom Ridge and his fellow governors came away from the meetings
resolute with the belief that higher education needs a fresh look and【M10】______
possibly a major boost in productivity to meet demands of new
technologies and a changing work force. [br] 【M4】
