Editorial: Chaos with computers
A visit to the Angell Hall Computing Site can be summed up in one word: pandemonium. Students experience daily confusion over which system is being used, and many are outraged at the doubled printing fee - from 4 cents last year to a current high of 8 cents per printed page. The third month of the school year is underway, and the Information Technology Division has had a fair amount of time to get back into the swing. Whatever the method to its madness, ITD needs to get on the ball by organizing the Angell site in an effective, orderly manner and re-evaluating the exorbitant printing fee.
Editorial: Healthy children
As he prepares for his second term as president, Bill Clinton has his hands full. Many high-level officials, including Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, have announced their intention to leave the administration.

Despite the flurry of activity, Clinton must not abandon his commitment to improving health care access and affordability for all Americans - especially poor children.
Miller on Tap: '20/20' is decadent and depraved TV
I can hear Edward R. Murrow rotating in his grave. I used to take criticism of the media with a grain of salt. After all, I'm a journalist. Many of my favorite people are journalists. Our job is to kick over rocks and shine the light of truth into the scum-covered hovels of American society (is that idealism I smell?) People who are unwilling to believe there is scum get a little uncomfortable. Killing the messenger is very "in" these days.
