To Add Ethos or Not?

So as I posted in my last blog, I am going with a political cartoon that tries to make light of the ever rising tuition bills that students have to deal with.  To refresh your memory this is what it looked like:

In preparation of this paper I was thinking of some different directions I could take my paper in.  I want to write about how the tuition here at UT affects me, as well as, I would like to write about how it affects college students everywhere as a whole.  I was thinking about also adding my own ethos.  I found some posted information about this years tuition increase UT's website:

-"UT Knoxville students will pay 9 percent more tuition in the 2010-2011 academic year."

-"The Board of Trustees last week approved the increase—which was .5 percent more than the 8.5 increase we had requested."

-"A 9 percent tuition increase equates to $534 per year—or $267 per semester—taking it from $5,918 to $6,452 per year for in-state undergraduates."

-"UT Knoxville’s out-of-state students also will see tuition increase by 9 percent, or by $1,775, a year for undergraduates and $1,857 a year for graduate students. Their annual tuition will increase from $19,714 to $21,489 and from $20,622 to $22,479, respectively. "

I feel like these are some good jumping off points for my paper.  Let me know if you have any good ideas to go along with the quotes & or anything else you think might be a good idea for me to look into for my paper.
