I am writing in response to the article written about Alden Library lowering the cost of printing services and dropping the free 50 page printing policy. I believe that this policy negatively affects students who stay under the 50 page free printing policy. Alden Library should keep the policy that they have and allow students their first 50 pages of printing for free. Charging students for every page that they print will result in more financial holds on student accounts because of balances that in most cases will be under 10 dollars. I believe that this will then decrease use of printers in the library, causing the university to lose more money, not including the estimated two million dollars in lost revenue since Baker University Center opened. If we pay $18,000 a year to come to school here, the least they can do is give us 50 free pages of printing.
