Microdeal
Although Bill Gates's colossal software company's policies have caused quite a stir recently, a potential deal between Microsoft Corp. and the University would benefit students and their wallets. Currently, University officials are considering a contract with the multimedia giant that could cut prices of Microsoft software by as much as 75 percent. We support this deal, as long as it doesn't make other computer technology obsolete on campus.
Seeing green
The jingle of money in your pocket after a trip to the store for bottle returns is always a comforting sound. Despite the lines and hassles of getting back the 10 cent deposits, most people - especially students - are more than happy to redeem them.
A eulogy to one of the last good people around
To be satisfied with my life, I need to have 1,000 upcoming tasks and events on my agenda. If I'm not worried about 50 things at once, I feel like I'm slacking off. That's what life is all about, right?
Letters to the Editor: Lack of minorities on television isn't a big problem
To the Daily:
Don't we all have better things to do than sit around watching TV with racial/ethnic scorecards in hand? Your Sept. 21 editorial "Color TV" would answer "no." What a ridiculously stupid issue for anyone to get upset about. What's next, instituting a quota system for the Sunday comics?
