    In the present infotech epoch in which one has cookies that enable
    things without passwords, it is unclear to me which of the following
    links might work for you. However, I believe they will.



    * SHOULD MORE COLLEGES REQUIRE students to purchase computers?

    More than 100 colleges have done so, but some administrators

    question whether the efforts are worth the cost -- which is

    usually passed on to students.



    The Chronicle invited two administrators to discuss the pros

    and cons of computer requirements.

    --> TALK ABOUT IT: Should more colleges require students to

    own computers? Or are such requirements gimmicks that are

    not worth the cost to students?
