When students find out that their colleges are about to institute quotas or fees for public-printer usage, what should they do? Appeal the decision? Start saving up for printers of their own?
William Hughes, a student at Purdue University at West Lafayette, has a more creative — if considerably less practical — idea. As Purdue prepares to put printing quotas in place next semester, Mr. Hughes is urging students to write their own great American novels — and, of course, to print multiple copies of them before the restrictions take effect. For students without literary pretensions, Mr. Hughes makes another suggestion: Just print War and Peace or the collected works of Charles Dickens instead. (The Exponent)
