Change should start with letter writer

The letter to the editor Tuesday the 18th brought up some valid points but forgot a few crucial ones. Yes, the grounds keepers use riding mowers that probably use more gasoline, how ever, are you the one mowing the grounds every other day? And if they were bought push mowers, does that not cost more money to then dispose of the current machinery and accommodate brand new equipment? Also typewriters are a great idea! They were used for many years before the laptops we have today. Do you currently use one to do your homework? Don’t tell us how we should be running our lives on campus if you your self does not want to follow the ideas that you are suggesting. Lead by example. When you get your own typewriter and start mowing the grounds with a push mower then you can speak out and tell others to follow you, instead of suggesting Utopian thoughts.

FYI - Shane Colvin is the ASMSU President, not the president of the senate. GO BOBCATS, BEAT THE GRIZ!

Fred Stapleton humbly suggests that students get on a waiting list or a lottery system that, if they want to live off campus as freshman and the system is overcrowded, then they be randomly selected to do so.

Overcrowding is perennial. And there are ALWAYS freshmen who want to move off campus no matter how stupid that might seem. So why not get those kids out of the dorm and free up the damn study lounges?
