Ignorance, ideology penetrate society
Mar. 30, 2006The main issue I struggled with in preparing to write a column this spring was choosing an overarching theme for the topics I will cover. I decided that it is not so much a theme that I will be adopting, but an approach. I believe I have found a consistent, unbiased approach to the problems of our times and it can be summed up with one word -

Although last quarter the administration considered eliminating the university-provided computers in dorm rooms, it instead chose to develop a program to complement its current program. And by doing so OU has struck the perfect balance of providing students with assistance in purchasing the newest technology and not inadvertently penalizing students who cannot afford to purchase a computer. The new plan, known as Go Mobile, will give students the chance to purchase laptops at a potential discount that individuals likely will not get on their own. Although the vendor who the university will work with has not yet been determined and exact prices have also not been set, Communication Network Services anticipates a 30 to 35 percent discount. At the same time, OU will continue to furnish residence hall rooms with traditional desktops for students that choose not to take advantage of the new deal. This plan is the sort of flexible option necessary for a campus populated by students of such diverse needs and schedules. Overall, OU-
