"There's lots of hot chicks at U. Va."

-- Infatuated First Year

The conversion of Dabney and Tuttle computer labs seems more like an underhanded accounting move than an attempt to help students. Many students who used the computer labs in these buildings didn't have the financial resources to either buy a computer or the software for certain classes. The computer labs provided a cheaper alternative than purchasing a computer. Now these students are left with no options, because without the money to buy even a simple desktop computer, there is no way they will be able to afford a laptop with a wireless network card. It seems to me that the University is just trying to save money in light of the recent budgetary problems, and using the computers from these labs someplace else and replacing them with a couple-hundred dollar wireless hub is one method of doing this. Unfortunately, they are really saving money at the expense of poorer U. Va. students."
