Free laundry a major benefit for students

Published Sep 11, 2009

Admit it - washing your laundry isn't ever something that you look forward to doing. But at least now there's one less reason to put it off.

This year marks the first time in the university's history that all students living on campus won't have to pay every time they wash a load of laundry.



After years of having to wait until you could scrape together $2 in quarters to wash and dry one load of laundry or having to add to a growing list of send-home charges, campus residents can now do their laundry free of charge at a time that is most convenient for them.

Education should prevail over politics

Published Sep 10, 2009

It's easy for students on a college campus to forget the role primary and secondary education played in shaping their academic careers. The SAT, which causes so much hair loss among high school juniors and seniors, becomes a distant memory, and high school diplomas hanging in living rooms start to develop a thin film of dust. Students' experiences in elementary, middle and high school begin to seem irrelevant as they transition to adulthood and focus on earning a college degree and joining the "real world."

Religious teaching in public high schools should include the Koran

Published Sep 10, 2009

Texas Legislature House Bill 1287, which makes all Texas high schools offer an elective on "religious literature, including the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and New Testament, and its impact on history and literature," will become effective for the 2009-2010 school year. Never mind whether the bill violates separation of church and state, but consider that if Texas is going to teach dogma in high school, it should choose the Koran instead of the Bible.
