Shades of Green

From Indiana Daily Student here:

These efforts, along the lines of using more environmentally friendly light bulbs to make incremental changes, are certainly commendable. What’s not as commendable, however, is when such efforts undermine students’ experiences at college or lessen the value of the services for which their tuition dollars pay. At Stanford University, for example, an effort to install low-pressure shower heads resulted in a backlash from students in one dorm.

We sympathize with these students, because we know the value of a hot, high-pressure shower in order to function for an early morning class. With the cost of tuition and on-campus housing so high, it’s reasonable to expect a quality experience.
